    John,
    I don’t know what we are all going to do without one of my best friends in all the world. She saw the good , the bad, and the ugly and loved you anyway. She was the kind of friend who has your back. We don’t get many of those in this lifetime. She loved our whole family and for that I am so thankful. We are all thankful for the time we got to spend with her and you John. Your precious wife will be missed terribly. We are so thankful she’s with Jesus?❤️?

    To all of Sandy’s family and friends,
    My heart is aching for all of you, especially because it was so unexpected. Sandy will always be with me in heart and mind; my family considers her to be my “kindred” spirit, as she was with her Uncle Ray, and to many others who knew her.

    I didn’t know Sandra, but reading her obituary makes me wish I did! She sounds like an amazing lady. May God comfort your family during this difficult time!
