Sam said, “I’ll cherish every lesson she’s taught me and continue to live my life to make her proud.” Grace said, “Mom, you were always so supportive of me and you built me up; I know you’re with the Lord, and until then I will think of you every day.”

    Sandy reflected God’s love to so many people with her kind words, gentle speech and loving smile. She was highly thought of by people of all ages (including my children when they were younger). My prayers for Pastor Terry, Sam & Grace…for God’s peace to be with them during this difficult time…Sandy is having the time of her life, at the feet of Jesus, getting to hear those words: “Well done, thy good and faithful servant”. Love to her family and friends. Laurie, Annastacia, Ashley & Zachary

    Sandy will be greatly missed. She always knew how to listen and love people just as they were. She was always full of wisdom and had a gentle heart. She loved her family with all her heart. I was so heartbroken to hear the news last weekend that she passed to heaven’s throne last weekend. My the deepest condolence to her family. Praying that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard their heart and mind during this time of loss
