Words are so inadequate & can never express what is in our hearts - Sandra was so sweet to myself and my family & we both shared a love of the piano, though I wish I could play at her level & with her talent. I can still remember seeing her in Missouri on the ranch, and also as a city-gal in the suburbs of Salt Lake, and always with a smile, and I remember the lovely home she artistically shaped in both locations. I remember her coming to England and going shopping with her and with Debbie.....they were so alike in their love of shopping and their abilities to marathon shop - how fun for mother & daughter and I am sure those are among the memories that are carried in the heart at this difficult time.

She shared her music with others, even recently - what a beautiful gift & talent to be given, but to share it so freely with others & to bring such joy to many, this is pure beauty, and many will remember her for this.

I can still remember Debbie's wedding, the reception held there at Sandra's home.....it was a busy time but so very heartwarming and I can still see Sandra as she was on that day, the joy on her face for her daughter's happiness.....I just feel the loss for having lived at a distance and not having fresh memories, as time has passed since I have seen her....but the memories I do carry are special and I pay tribute to a wonderful woman, a lady of great stature, and sweetness of spirit.

Mike and I send prayers heavenward on your behalf and we will cherish the memories we carry and will always think of your family with loving regard and sweetest remembrance.

All of our love and hopes for comfort and peace as you wend your way in the coming days, weeks and months,

Sandra was so special to me. I remember her from the early years playing the piano for me. I always begged her to play for me whenever I saw her. She was so dear and I will miss her deeply. Her cousin.

Dear Keller family, Sandra was a gracious and kind lady. It was a privilege to know her. We always appreciated her kindness to us and our daughter, Emily, when we came over to the house. We enjoyed the time we spent at Snowbird with her and Orv and Don and Joyce. We appreciated her kind words at the time of Joyce's passing. We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know our love and prayers are with you.
