Sandy was a ray of sunshine, always smiling no matter what and had a heart of gold. It breaks my heart to know she is gone but also makes my heart smile knowing she now joins our father God in heaven ❤️
Sandy we are going to miss all the times we spent with you from our two Wayne and our daughter Tonda since they where 12 years old and then we help them with a Wedding and all the babies but going to miss all the cookouts and Christmas Parties You are Angel in Heaven and God I watching over you always remember we love you Ken and Me because we are family Prayers are sent to you in Heaven Love you Sandy
As I type this tribute to my dearest and best friend, whose family adopted me as part of their family, I can’t stop the tears from falling. Sandy and I have known each other for 17 years and we had some crazy, fun and always exciting adventures and I believe we could have put some soap operas to shame! Oh, what fun we had and we had our disagreements, but we always knew we would always be there for each other. I’ve never known anyone like Sandy and I’m so glad I was able to be a part of her life and she was a very big part of my life. I love you and miss you so much my heart breaks as I type these words to tell you good bye. You touched my life in a way noone has ever done before and taught me a lot about life. I know you’re happy now and there’s no more pain and you’re with the good Lord above and I know you’re watching over us and I hope I will get to see you again someday. Prayers in the air to Charlie and all the family in this very sad time to help us heal. I love you, my adopted sister, my friend. Now you can rest easy and please know I have always loved you and always will. Goodnight, sweet dreams, have a safe journey home and God bless. ❤

Hello Mom
It’s been a month since you’ve been gone. Really miss you and wish you were here so I can give you a big hug! I know you are healed in a new body and not suffering, but surely miss talking to you every morning on my way to work. I know they say things will get better as time goes on but it sure is hard when I walk out my front door and see your house. Miss you waves and yelling at me that u love me, miss that so so much. Charlie is doing good, he has his days and he looks at the picture of you and him and talks to you every day! Got to go for now mom, love you always and see you one day. Your son,

Hey, Sis
It’s been like 2 and half months since you left and went home to be with our Heavenly Father. I MISS YOU so much. Wish I could just talk to you and give you the biggest hug ever. My heart hurts so much and just can’t seem to get by your passing then, I realize you are pain free and happy up in heaven with Grannie, Betty, Rickey, Ethel and all the rest that went before you. Sure you and Betty are arranging flowers. Grannie cooking and baking all the wonderful food she did. Not sure how to deal with this emptiness that I feel but, sure you are looking over me and helping me along. Till we meet again I Love You!

Happy heavenly birthday my sister, my friend! I miss you so much and tears fall as I type these words to let you know life just isn’t the same without you. You may not physically b here, but in my heart you will always b. You always thought of everybody else regardless of your wants and needs and you knew somebody everywhere we went and I thought that was so kool! All the stuff you gave me, the camping equipment, the air mattress all the comforters and clothes I could put together from here I gave to the people who lost everything when Hurricane Helene hit the north around Asheville. I was glad I could help some. Thank you and I love and miss you dearly, my sister, my friend.
