Sandra my dear, dear friend of many years you will be sorely missed. My heart is broken. What a shock for me but I can only imagine what a massive loss this is for your wonderful family. My sincere condolences to each one of you. I will never forget you Sandra, especially walking arm in arm while singing British songs on our way over to Eatons. Looking for the sales in our lunch hours.. Sandra always said "it's enough to pay 25% for anything", as she steered me to the 75% off rack laughing. Wonderful memories float around my head but sadness prevails. Rest in Peace my wonderful Sandra. We often played the lottery together - but I for sure won the lottery having a friend like you. You taught me so much about life and made me a better person. May God take good care of you now, you leave a huge void here.
Dear Natalie and Helen, I was saddened to hear the passing of your mother, Sandra. She had to be one incredible mother to raise such wonderful daughters, as I know you to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family at this difficult time.
Dear Nat and Helen, I am terribly sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She must have been an amazing lady, passing on many of her traits and qualities to you both. I know how close you were and I wish strength for you at this terrible time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. Although this is such a sad loss, don't forget to rejoice in all the good memories that you have.
I had the pleasure of working with Sandra for a number of years. I was fortunate, as many who worked with Sandra, to receive a Teddy Bear from her during a difficult or challenging time in our lives. I still have my Bear and will cherish it even more now. She shared her literary skills with many of us when it came to writing a difficult letter. She always had a way with words. I recall her love of jigsaw puzzles and how she would get new ones each year at Christmas. Sandra would speak fondly of her summer trips to Cape Cod with John, and staying at the same spot each year. It always sounded so lovely. I will always think of Sandra when it comes to Mexican food or German Shepherds. Sandra was always so proud of her daughters and spoke often of their latest accomplishments. Sandra was a good listener and a good friend. She could give kind, sound, practical advice in the most appropriate way. Thank you for being my friend and colleague, Sandra
Dearest Helen, Our prayers and thoughts are with you. A difficult time to experience such a profound loss. Sincerely, Tony & Lorraine
May the lord be with you on your journey.
