My beloved Aunt Sandra in happier times. For more info, watch the live stream service recording! Sharon gave a wonderful summary of Aunt Sandra’s life, and I spoke more about Aunt Sandra’s fears and the end of her life.

I know the times you were able to visit with Aunt Sandra were sometimes hard on you, but I enjoyed sending her pictures to enjoy my grandkids.
I know you will miss her dearly.

sandy and i met at a mah jongg game. we played together for many years. we shared a great deal in common. we both said it as it is.
we were honest to a fault. i guess that is why were such good friends. she shared many things about her life, family, business, etc. she knew whatever she told me that was as far as it would go. we always had a good laugh. i was her confidant. good or bad.
I never met her family personally, but i know them all. May Sandy, my friend have great meals, theatre, winning bridge hands and of course making a no joker hand.i know she would have enjoyed playing the new card.
i know you are at peace enjoying all the things you loved in life ,where you are now.
your buddy,
marje:)

My friend Douglas worked at placed called NQC and let me know of a job opening. I came in to speak with Sandy. She was a bit gruff, to the point, and all business. I could tell she did not suffer fools gladly. I passed the test and started working there. I learned later that she asked Douglas after I left the interview, if I was ‘light in my loafers’. Which makes me laugh to this day. Sandy and I forged a good working relationship and ultimately a friendship. I worked there for 2 or 3 years, at one point becoming the day time assistant. I was good at my job, but she could see I didn’t love it. One day Sandy pulled me aside to have a talk with me. She asked what I was doing there. She saw so much potential in me that was being wasted. She told me I needed to back to college and finish my degree. Do something I love instead of throwing my life away at NQC. She is the reason I am in the career I have now. I moved down to part time at NQC and finished by Interior Design degree, ultimately getting a job in my chosen field, and leaving NQC.
Sandy and I kept in touch over the years. She frequently said I was a breath of fresh air and Doulas & I still laugh about that. We went to dinners together with Douglas, and she embraced my relationship with Ricardo when we started dating (and now married for 10yrs.). We kept in touch via computer game, Lexulous (a computer scrabble game) which we played together. She was a fierce competitor and more often than not kicked by butt!
lol…Not gonna lie, Sandy, at times, was a challenging personality. Difficult as she could be sometimes, she was always honest and fair. She only wanted what was best for those she loved and cherished, and I know expressing that emotion wasn’t always easy for her. Sandy was always ready to share her thoughts/opinions or give advise – whether we wanted it or not! Often the delivery could be sharp, but it was always from a place of wanting to help those close to her. I loved Sandy. I will miss her, and remember her fondly. Myself and Douglas were fortunate to get to see what we thought was the real Sandy – a scared little girl doing the best she can – who just wanted to be loved for who she was.
