Sheryn and I are so sad to hear of Sandy’s passing. She was a great nurse and a wonderfully warm, genuine human being. She will be missed by so many people who had the good fortune of knowing her. We are very sorry not to be able to attend the funeral tomorrow.
I have so many wonderful memories of working with Sandy. She an infectious laugh and crazy sense of humour. She taught me a thing or two about nursing and I am proud to have worked with such an amazing nurse. She was an incredible lady and I will miss her.

She was such a beautiful person—kind, and full of love—and that love will always surround you. May you find comfort in the cherished memories, in the laughter you shared, and in the unbreakable bond that will never fade. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and the family . ❤️❤️❤️
I send my sincere condolences in this time of grief. The Bible promises that your loved one will soon live again on a beautiful paradise earth when death will be no more in John 5:28, 29.

Sandy taught me so much especially what true friendship and loyalty are all about. Fun came easy for Sandy and boy did we have fun. My favourite fun time with Sandy was when we went to see a Prince concert. She so admired his heels (shoes). Something she said they had in common. Until we meet again spread your wings and fly! I love you
