Sandra was a very kind person. She will be missed. I’I am sorry to hear of her passing! Will be in prayer for her family!
Sandra was a kind soul, she was very interesting to talk to. I loved walking with her to turn in the Sunday School attendance, since I was always late. She would tell me what we were talking about in class. She always had information to share about a variety of things. I have prayed for her health in the past. I did not realize she was still suffering. I am sure she is delighted to see all the wonderful things the Lord has in store for her. I can picture her beaming when Jesus told her, “Enter in thou, good and faithful servant, Suffering is over, pain is gone, joy unspeakable and you will be with me forever.” What a beautiful entrance she had! I am thrilled for her, and sad for us. We will miss her, and think of her often. The day she flew away to glory, a sticky note fell from somewhere off my desk, on the floor in my bedroom with her name on it. I picked it up, and smiled thinking about her. Life is precious, and fragile. Love all who the Lord puts in your path. We will see each other again in a beautiful place.
Betty< I am so sorry ofr you and your family. Sandra was a veery friendly person. and easy to talk to about anything. She was so good to call and tell me when you were in the hospital. She is with the Lord now and healed.
