Going to miss her very much.
Dearest Barbara and family:
A few years ago I took Sandy with me to the BEACH at MB for a few days. She had not been on a vacation in such a long time and she was like a child at Christmas time! She loved the beach so much, as do I, and would stand on the balcony with her oxygen machine and just gaze out over the ocean with a smile on her face. She kept telling me how close to God she felt at the beach. She was my dearest friend since we moved here. We are from Lakeland originally and lived behind Temple Baptist Church there until the 70’s. God connected us through my prayer ministry: WillPray4U Ministries where Sandy held the position of Advisory Board Member up to the day she died. I know she is in HIS ARMS!
I am so sorry about Sandy.She and I were school mates and loved each other like sisters. We found each other on line a few years ago through Classmates. She was so in hopes of getting to come back to Mena for our 50th class reunion and see old friends and see how our town had changed. I know she loved the Lord with all her heart and she is so happy now I cannot feel sad for her. Just sad for myself for not having seen her in 50 years. But I know she has a smile on her face like we have never seen before. Sandy, I love you and will miss your emails.
I have no doubt that you are in the presence of the Lord tonight.

My condolences to Sandy’s family. We were classmates at Mena High School and graduated in 1958. I was saddened to hear of Sandy’s passing. She was always such a delight to be around and her smile was contageous. The world is a better place because of Sandy’s life.
My blessings and sympathy are heart felt for Sandy’s family. As a classmate, I remember Sandy as a cute, sweet and vibrant young woman. May all your wonderful memories help to ease the pain of your loss.

We didn’t know Sandy very well but will miss her. She was one of those people that when they cross your path they are remembered. She left her mark on this earth & her rewards
in Heaven will be many. Just imagine
her happiness & joy now as she knows
what we have to look forward to. She
believed Our Heavenly Father’s WORD
and KNEW His Promises to be TRUE. May she rest in peace with her dearly beloved. God will say ‘Sandy
a Job Well Done in My Name’, Your
Riches are Many!!
She prayed with me several times. The Heavenly choir is joined by a new voice. Thank you for sharing her with the rest of the Intercessory Prayer Board.
