  1. Wayne, Tim, and Kimberly- I have such fond memories of your family and my dear aunt Sandra. I so enjoyed the many weekends and weeks spent with you all in the summer. Aunt Sandra was always the kindest person and always wanting the best for her family and extended family. I remember her being such a great VBS teacher and Sunday School teacher. You could always find her with a smile on her face and a word of encouragement. She made such an impression on my life and taught me to keep God first in everything, and for that I am thankful. I love you all.

  9. To Sandra’s family,
    My deepest sympathy to all of you. I became acquainted with Sandra many years ago when her mama was one of my patients at Aston Park HCC. I would see her over the years, usually at Ingles. She was a precious person and so kind-hearted. She took good care of her aunt and uncle as well as her mother. She will be greatly missed but cherish your memories. I lost my mama 2 years ago so I understand your loss. Sandra is in a much better place now and is rid of this old world’s problems. Again all my condolences to all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  10. To the family. ‘Death brings pain that only time can heal,
    No words could ease what we truly feel;
    But with God, her joy is eternally sealed,
    And cherish her memories that death can’t even steal.
    Lift up a smile for she is already in Paradise’
