I first met Sandra on Memorial Day five years ago, little did I know how important of a role she would play in my life. She welcomed me in to her family lovingly and with open arms and I mean literally, I‘ve never met a family who loves to hug as much as hers does and it’s because she raised her children with love and affection and it reflects beautifully in all of them. Each one of her children reflect her teachings as well strong willed, quick witted, family oriented, and of course the blessings of the Lord. While I didn’t get to know her all that long it’s those teachings of Christ throughout her family that she created that allowed me to come to the Lord as well and teach those same values unto her great grandchildren. What a legacy she holds and what a huge hole her loss has left. I have faith though that through her teachings her family will come together with the strings of love and grace and mend their hearts as they remember her and her love. I’ll never forget the lessons I got to observe from my time with her and her quick little jokes as she’d give me winks from across the room while surrounded by the loving chaos of her family at get togethers. I’m honored to have been able to meet such a strong beautiful woman and even more honored she allowed me to be apart of the family she created for the time that I met her. I’ll never forget Sandra’s teachings and I’m forever grateful to her.

Kevin & Caryn, may God bless you and guide you in the following days during the loss of your mother. It is so hard to give up someone that has loved us and we loved them before we were even born. Your good memories will always make you smile and those tears that flow freely are nothing more than those good memories!  Continued prayers and we love you.

Im going to miss one of my favorite cousins  Sandra Lou.  She taught me to draw, roller skate and took me to my first sock hop downtown. She was a sweetheart. I still have Jack my jack russell. He will be 17 in August. Rest in peace my Dear Sandra.

Sandra always had a Smile and  nice compliments to me when I saw her.  We could sit and talk for hours . She was All the Fruits of the Spirit in a basket to draw you in and Share with as a Family.  I am so Thankful the Lord directed her to CommUnity church where I met her and her wonderful family. My family Loves you and misses You, Sandra. Your Faithfulness and Love for the Lord Shines Brightly forever and through your   Family and Friends.

Mom, loosing you has been incomprehensible but then I try to remember I didn’t really loose you.  In fact you are found in the arms of Jesus.  I’m just gonna be missing you for a little while.  I will continue to carry our memories of you everywhere I go. 

 I’m not going to pretend that you leaving   hasn’t  hurt and will probably continue to hurt from time to time  in the future because I know there will be days where it’s going to hurt.  But I will hold onto knowing  that this life is only temporary and there will come a day where we will be with you for all eternity in heaven!  

I love you Mom and I will always remember “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”    I will hold onto this hope while we continue to live this life on earth without you….but just for a little while.

Love you to the moon and back and then beyond 

Mandy
