    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 ❤️

    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. ❤

    Sandy were a lifelong friend. You always looked out for me when I was a kid. I knew you had my back, and you knew I had yours. You were a friend that a friend would be lucky to have, so I feel blessed to have known you. I’ll see you on the other side my friend. I sure the Angels know what they have. I’ll miss you my friend.
    Love always,

    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,
    Wayne Allred 😘💕

    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!

    Hello Mom,
    Dropping by to say hello and still really missing you. 😢 I know this is just a web site but going on here makes me feel a little better. Just being able to see and read about u and the love you had for us. Sure wish you were here so we wouldn’t be here writing how much we miss u. It’s going on 3 months now and the family sure is missing you and we talk about u every day. Charlie is doing okay, he is struggling with some remembering and really missing you mom. Gail is doing good, we talk every other day and talk about how things are and going on and cry. Things wasn’t always is with us be we sure do miss those times. Sure would love to have you here so we could sit down have a cup of coffee and chat and argue on stuff that really didn’t matter and laugh at it on how crazy we were. Our family was so blessed to have you in our lives! You are truly missed mom. The family is doing good! Well have to move on now, Love you always and forever mom. Till next time.

    Still come on here every other day mom! Wish that when i come on here it will all go away and see you not on here. Really missing you mom. Still struggling with all this. Life isn’t the same. I know your with Jesus and all better, but my heart is still hurting and frustrated with you not here. I know Jesus said all will be better as the day’s go on. It sure is so hard. I love you so much mom. Really appreciate and thank you for the memories. You were so much help for our family. We all miss you so much. Love always your son, Wayne💌
