How do you say good-bye to an angel here on earth. Ms. Sandra was the epitomy of a true teacher. She absolutely loved each child she met. She had the ability to calm the most challenging child and she loved them through whatever their disability may have been. There was never a child Ms. Sandra complained about and she would always inspire everyone around her to love unconditional.
She was a spirit-filled soldier for the Lord and now she is resting in the safety of His arms.
To her family, God Bless you doing this time of bereavement. We love you all and share in this time of loss.

Our Sandra will be truly missed!

Sandra was such a nice lady and always had a smile on her face. The Harrell Family was so lucky to have her care for our sons (Joey and Mark) for almost 4 years. We send our thoughts and prayers to her family. She was awesome friend and will be greatly missed. We will cherish the memories we have forever.

Our deepest condolences are extended to the Smith-Jenkins Family. Sandra was a smart, loving and caring person. Those of us who remember her from McCrorey-Liston High School and from South Carolina State University were indeed fortunate to have her in our lives.

May you find comfort in the wonderful memories that you have of Sandra and may you know that others care. Keep your hand in God's hand now and forever.

There are no words to express the loss of a sister. Death can separate sight, but nothing can break or separate the love sisters share. God will continue to give you sisters (and family) the peace and courage you need to seek him; There, you'll find her.
