I cannot believe this. I just saw her about a month ago. My condolences to the family. Sandra and I started first grade together at Richards and went through school together until graduation. She was funny and ornery. May your memories comfort you and the knowledge that she is with her baby again bring a smile to your face.

I’m praying for the God lord to bring comfort to Sandra’s friends and family. Please know my thoughts are with you all in this time . Billy, I will always remember the fun times we had together when you and Sandra, lived by my day care! I still recall the wig prank! You and your mom had such a great sense of humor. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.
Here for you Bubby!

Losing a loved one is always difficult and no words can really help to ease the pain, but take comfort in knowing that after the earthly goodbyes are said, she will always live in the hearts of many. Sandra and Marty’s family and friends are in my thoughts in prayers.
