Sandra had such a vibrant presence. From my first American Thanksgiving experience to being an extra wheel at family events to all the birthday parties celebrated in Canada, she always made me feel welcome and as if I were a part of the family. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to meet her and will cherish the small moments I got to share in her life.
To the entire family: you are all in my thoughts. I know no words can erase your pain, but may you continue to feel Sandra’s love for you and hold your memories close.
My condolences to Sandra’s family and friends. She was deeply loved.
Dear Steve and family,
I was so heart broken to hear of the great and sudden loss of Sandy. I pray the lord gives you grace in this time to help you while morning. My heart is with you right now. It’s so hard to loose our loved ones. What helps me is returning to the idea that they are not gone, they just went to be with the good lord and someday we will see them again. I believe Sandy is in a miraculous place at this time reunited with loved ones. I hear Heaven is beyond our wildest dreams, it is so beautiful, and full of glory and love. I know it is hard to live without our loved ones whom have passed and left us here but somehow knowing they are within the love of God it becomes bare able. I’m sure she is watching over you and fighting for you in heavenly places.
