    Sandy and I were cousins, but we considered each other siblings. All cards and correspondence were signed "your sister or, your brother." This loss is one of the hardest I think. We expect our grandparents and parents to pass one day, but our siblings will always be there with you. I know she no longer suffers, which had always been a part of her life. She took on everything with grace and bravery. One day my dear sweet sister, we will meet again. God Bless.

    Mary Lee, Alan and the rest of Sandy’s immediate loved ones! I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this trying time. The loss of a sibling is a life-altering experience, and I am truly sorry that you are experiencing it. Please know that you are not alone, and I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love, hugs, and encouragement. Sandy was a sweet person who loved a happy go lucky lifestyle. I learn a great deal from Sandy in my growing up years. Sandy’s positive attitude towards life and what God had given her was a true testament of what our God does to supply our needs and desires of our heart. I look forward to seeing you again my sweet “Cuz” you will be missed and loved by all that know you.

    Sandy was a very nice, and fun loving person, who never hesitated to smile. I am happy for you to meet God, and continue to be happy, and pain free among family and friends in heaven. I hated to see you go, but I know your so much happier there then you were here. My heart and love goes out to you.

    Sandy was my niece and I loved her so much she loved. her animals and her little dog 🐕.She lived a hard life. Took care of her Mom until she died and took care of her husband also not taking care of herself. I'm going to miss seeing her when I come back home 🏡 in Indiana. Rest in peace sweet little girl and I will see you in Heaven someday when we all get there. God Bless you always 🙏 you got to see Jesus before me tell all that I said hello.
