My heart and prayers go out to Sandy’s family and friends.I have known her my entire life (she was my aunt Mickey’s friend)and always very nice to me.I know she is up above having the time of her life now.May God bless you all and be with you during this time.
It deaply saddens me to hear of Sandy’s passing. We shared many, many good times during our teenage years in Haw Creek. It was good to get news from her at our 30 year class reunion. Sandy will be forever remembered and missed.
Dear Lorene, I was so surprised and saddened to learn of Sandy. She was a special friend to my Mom Sylvia and my Uncle Beaver. Please know that our prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.

Dear Sandra,
Once upon a time, when I was a much younger man, you were my wife. I loved you very much but I was young and quite stupid. Unfortunately, things did not work out for us. I will except much of the blame for that. You were a better wife than I was a husband. I owed you more than I ever gave you.
Today I learned that you recently passed away. I am writing these words through my tears…longing to tell you I how sorry I am for everything. I want you to know that I mourn your passing. It is too late to say it in person… but for what it is worth Sandy, I am so very sorry for any emotional pain that I ever caused you. I wish I had been a better man and better husband. I failed you in more ways than I care to count. Please accept my belated apologies. Please forgive me. I wish to God that I could turn back the hands of time and undo what was done. I also wish that the clock had not run out before I got around to telling you how sorry I was. If you are reading this from heaven, please remember that I will love and miss you forever. June Third will always be one of the saddest days of my life. I would gladly have traded places with you if I could, as you did not deserve to die so young.
I will come to your garden one day soon and pay my respects to you. May God hold you in his arms and keep you safe for all of eternity. Please say hi to your dad and mine when you see them.
Love Forever, Doug
