I was shocked and saddened upon hearing about Sandra's passing. She was a beautiful and gentle person who always had a kind word for everyone.
I often talk about the spirit of kindness that she brought to Jewish Seniors Agency.

Dear Don-
I am so saddened to hear about Sandra. I just learned of the news today and I want to extend my deepest sympathies to you and her family that she loved dearly. Sandra and I worked very closely together at the Jewish Seniors Agency of RI and I often thought of her at times after she retired. Her charm, grace and easy goingness will always remain in a special place in my heart. We shared wonderful memories together in our office and we all became like sisters. I will always remember her as a warm and caring person and a delight to work with. Her family meant everything to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Don,
I can't tell you how many times I thought about the good times we shared with Sandra here at Jewish Seniors Agency and I spoke of her gentle ways often.

Don, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you at this very sad time in your life. Although I've only known you briefly, and talked w/you as you packed to go north in your driveway here just before you left. I played tennis w/Sandy here several times before she fell. She will be greatly missed. Have a safe trip back. Sincerely, Joanne Greer

Dear Don,
The road we travel over in life has so many twists and curves and steep hills to overcome and the loss of Sandy is certainly a difficult one for you to navigate over. But my hope is that you will be comforted by the love and experiences that you both shared together, even though it was all too brief. I shall be praying for both of you from down here in Georgia and ask the dear Lord to give you the strength to overcome your grief and despair.
Peace Be With You

Dear Don - We want you to know how much we will miss all the fun we had in Florida with Sandy and you. We hope that our friendship will continue and when we all return to Florida that we can still play some tennis and golf together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Dear Don,
Last night in the men's Tuesday night golf league, I started on the first hole. Standing on the 1st tee I looked up @ the American Flag just pass the 1st green to check for wind direction. It was then that I noticed the American Flag @ half mast. I asked who, but deep inside I knew.
When I was @ the 6th green I said a small prayer for you & the soul of your beloved wife Sandy.
God Bless you both.

It is also our sincerest pleasure to have made your friendship, Don. You are a great guy and a loving and devoted husband to Sandy. May the Dear Lord bring you peace and continued health.
