So sorry Rhonda.. may you all find peace in this very difficult time and may Sandy’s soul rest eternally in peace.
Ronda I am so very deeply sorry to you and your family for the loss of your sister. Sending you prayers, hugs and love!
Courtney and family, I’m so sorry. Although I haven’t seen Sandy in probably 30 years, she was my Aunt - mother to my cousin Courtney. My only memories of Sandy are from my childhood, but I remember vividly her laugh, smile, BIG hugs, and charisma. Everytime I make my kids pancakes, I think of you! You would always make me and Courtney Mickey Mouse (and other shapes) of pancakes… it’s the little things :). Praying for all the family and friends mourning.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Thoughts and prayers!!
My prayers are with you
We are deeply sorry for your loss!!! When I remember Sandy I think about that little girl chubby girl with beautiful curls!!! Praying for you all!!
My condolences to Sandy's family . Seen her 3 days before so really shocking to hear she passed away. She would talk about where she grew up and riding a dirtbike? when she was litttle and other adventures☺️. She was so proud of her grandson and showed me a picture of him awhile back she was so happy. May she rest in peace.
So sorry to hear about Sandy! Lots of special memories of her, coming to swim in the pool with my girls! Special Hugs and Prayers for all of you!
Where has the time gone? I will miss this "girl" for many reasons. My condolences to family and all.
