From the first time I met Sandra, she welcomed me into the family and made me feel like I was always a part of it.
Before she left for Washington, we had a good heart-to-heart talk.
Sandra, I will do my best to keep my promise.
You're with the Angels now, no more pain.
Love,
Kristen

If flowers grow in heaven,
lord, then pick a bunch for me.
Then place them in my mother's arms and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
I will always cherish are memories together mum especially our camping trips along the North Norfolk coast line cockle picking and crab fishing off the harbour at wells next to the sea, also chasing me around forests and beaches as well as the time you saved me from being stung by a wasp with your flip flop although I must say it didn't really look much like as wasp by the time you had finished with it.
I will always love you mum and will never forget you until we meet again farewell.

Sandra was one of the most sympathetic and humble people I've ever met. When she was a manager at JC Penney, we used to have lengthy talks about everything. We talked about her health issues, we talked about cathedrals in the UK, we talked about anything in the world. She was so caring and loving, and I felt like I could tell her everything and still be accepted with kindness. It was really hard to see her health fail in these last years. Once in a while she would come into the store, and every time her health had deteriorated further. But she came in, and we still had good conversations. In this time one of the big joys of her life was her little granddaughter. May her memory be blessed and may the heritage of the life she lived give her children, family and friends something we can all carry with us in our own lives.

Working with Sandra was a blessing I am glad I had. She was such a gentle spirit with a great sense of what is right and fair. My wish is for her to rest in peace and that her lovely family will cherish all the memories and time they had with her. You were so important to her!

Sandy it still doesn't even seem possible that your gone, The world's definitely a bit darker without you here. But one thing is certain that we will never forget the Unconditional Love you showed your children, family and friends and how you took so many of us misfits under your wing that weren't your blood children and loved us just as much. I feel so grateful that for all the Love and understanding you showed Kegan and I.
I promised you to always look out for Shaun forever and always.
We wish you we're here.

I was lucky enough to call Sandra my sister-in-law and have known her for over 30 years. I first met her when my parents and I went to England to visit my brother Robert. He and Sandra were together at the time living in a beautiful home in Swaffam. I was completely and totally suffering from jet lag! I happened to arrive there when Sandra had her 3 kids with her, Adrian, Kelly, and Wayne. And as tired as I was, the kids decided that I needed to go on a walk with them to a park to kick the soccer ball around! I had absolutely no idea where I was, but I had a blast hanging out and getting to know them just a little bit. Sandra was an amazing host and put up with all my families oddness and quirks! Especially her future father in law's! We made memories on that trip that we talked about every time we were together. Especially when we went to France. We got drunk waiting for the ferry, we slept in the car for about 2 hours before driving to Paris. LT found the most ridiculous shady place for us to stay. We fell asleep at the Effiel Tower.....At the hotel, the bathroom was down the hall and Rob wouldn't walk her there so she peed in the sink in their room. We have all laughed about this trip for years! We also spent time in London before returning to the states. LT had burned his foot in the tub so he couldn't walk with us much, but we did it all! I knew if Sandra could put up with us for that amount of time, that she was truly a wonderful person.
Even though we never lived close enough to each other to see each other all the time, whenever we were together...we just picked up from where we left off the last time. We had many opportunities to see each other over the years. When Rob and Sandra moved to the states with baby Shaun, we went back to NH to celebrate their arrival. When they were in Colorado Springs, and Lauren was barely a month old, my mom drove us from Tucson to visit. Shannon was just a few months old when they travelled from CO to Tucson for Christmas. I will forever cherish all the amazing happy memories of being a family no matter the miles that always seemed to separate us.
There were miles between us but we were never far from each other in thought and spirit.
Sandra was and will always remain an inspiration. She had to handle so much being on her own when Rob was deployed and she did so with dignity and grace. Then with her health, she never complained or looked for pity. She always found a way to cope with it and even laugh about it so as not to bring anyone else down. Sandra was real and never put on false airs. Sandra was strong and faced struggles head on. She was loving and provided unconditional love to so many. None more than her own kids and grandkids! They were her life and she did an amazing job raising beautiful children!
To her kids and grandkids, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I hope you take comfort in knowing what an amazing, loving person Sandra was and that she is loved by so many.
Sandra, I love you. I am blessed to have known you and to make so many happy memories together. I know that you are securely wrapped in the loving arms of Jesus and that you are no longer in any pain. You fought a mighty and courageous fight........now rest in peace.

After many years of searching, I was so blessed to connect with Sandra last year. She was so warm and inviting to me in our messages and I will always treasure that. I wish we’d had more time to get to know one another, but I will always cherish the time that we did have.
Sending lots of love to Sandra’s family.

Mum, beautiful inside and out, sassy, unfiltered but classy, LOVING, protecting, kind, hilarious especially after a few Bass! I’ve been trying to find the words to start this and it’s been tough, tough to sum up what you mean to me and others, I’ll try my best. I can’t imagine my life without you being part of it. You gave me my best friend, who has continuously shown up for me time and time again and now my family and son as well. I know now reminiscing on the time I was able and grateful to share with you where he gets that from because you showed up for me time and time again. You showed and taught me SO many things I will carry with me until we meet again. One of the biggest ones was showing me what a mothers true unconditional love looked like first with your kids and then over time with me. Remember when I had to go to get a second surgery on my shoulder and you were bringing me so I spent the night and in the morning we were off! I felt awful something in the pit of my stomach. We check in etc and as I’m sitting all dressed for surgery waiting to be brought in I said “mum quick hand me the trash” and proceeded to throw up.. hamburger. I look up at you confused and ask what I ate because I was instructed not to eat after 10 the night prior to surgery only water. You said “ You made Shaun cook you 2 cheeseburgers last night, you were adamant” yeah and also drunk! Hey we’ve all been there. Years later you’re coming to my sons baby shower and then meeting my son (that was so special to me). You are and always will be so special to me. I’ll miss late night ‘fags’ and endless conversations in the Gee-rage. You were proud of me when I stopped both drinking and smoking cigarettes. You were so proud of me, all the time. I’m really going to miss that, that support, comfort, reassurance and sometimes said what I needed to hear but never failed to let me know I was loved by you at the end. Thank you for loving me, until we meet again I will be missing you. I love you endlessly mum. Give Uncle Mike a swift kick in the ya know. Forget me not.

Andrew, Shannon, Mia and Michaela, I'm so sorry that you all have lost such a big and supportive part of your lives. Sandra opened her heart and family to Andrew & Mia and I know how much that meant to them and how much they love her.
Shannon, being able to watch you and Andrew grow your family and reach so many goals made your mom so proud.
The love she had for you all was so evident. I know how hard this is for all of you but just let your memories and everything she taught you guide you through this rough time. She's always with you.
I love you all so much and I'm here for you, no matter what.
Love Auntie

Ohh Mumma where do I begin, I guess I should start with a bottle of Dom Perignon lol
Some of my greatest memories with you are our countless butt breaks from talking about anything and everything to school, boys, what to wear, you telling me to drink more water, to you cuddling me while I'm sick. Another fond memory of mine is watching you with my girls, you always used to tell me there was something very special about watching her daughter with her children.
Watching you glow while I was pregnant is something that I will cherish forever. From you being to just about every appointment and rubbing my belly everyday, talking to "baby". Fast forward to Michaela being born you couldn't wait till we were discharged to see us, so you drove to the hospital to see Michalea & I through the window of the hospital. You were always there for all my "first time mom" questions, to telling me when I was overreacting and helping me through those days where you just want to give up but you words of wisdom and your cheerful smile kept me going.
I always loved spending time with you whether it was you coming to my house to let me take a shower by myself, or helping me reorganize this or that. You coming on my countless errands to walmart, sitting and having a few drinks with you and then snuggles in bed together! (Because what girl doesn't love to sleep and cuddle their Mumma all night). You would always be game for our numerous adventures with the girls to North Conway for Mothers day to the mall, haircuts, everything as long as we were together.
There will never be anyone compared to you, the best Mumma anyone could ask for, the best friend that everyone deserves, the greatest Nanny to my girls, the best at absolutely everything.
There are no words to describe how I'm feeling..other then I miss you terribly and love you forever more.
This isn't goodbye Mumma, this is I'll see you later ❤️

I considered Sandy a dear friend for over 30 years. One of my favorite memories was spending a Fasching weekend with her and the family at Ramstein AFB and attending the Fastnacht parade together in Kaiserslautern. Many, many happy gatherings here in Dover over the years, always made better by her bright presence. I'll miss you, Sandy.

I’ll never forget all the fun we had at concerts. Most people don’t have the pleasure of going to a concert with their mom. From avenged sevenfold to Motley Crue. From Australian Pink Floyd to black label society. From beneath the sheets to Wiz Khalifa you were there for all of them shaking like a tree in the wind . One of the funniest memories was going to black label society and megadeath and at the end of the concert you slipped in the ports potty and rode home with your feet out the window haha still smiling.
Our countless hours sitting together and just chatting about life will be the thing I miss the most . We would have conversations I couldn’t have with anyone else . Meanwhile Dallas or Ruby would be sitting with us just happy to see us happy.
Thank you for being the greatest mother for me ,but most importantly thank you for being Mum . There are a lot of moms but only one Mum .
I love you forever mum you will love on through your love and lessons and made a big impact on more lives than just me

I couldn't have asked for a better mother in law, you were so welcoming when I first met you and I started dating shannon. There was a time when I wasn't even dating shannon but still sleeping over every night and sitting up and hanging out with you and Rob having drinks and playing cribbage. One of my favorite things to do was to sit and listen to music and listen to stories of past adventures in your life or jamming out to music and dancing in the garage with you. I'm blessed to have been welcomed into your family and be part of your life.

Sandra aka Mum,
Knowing you the past 10+ years has been my pleasure. You have always been one of the fiercest yet sweetest women in my life. You are warm and welcoming. You make everyone feel like family. You always show up for what’s most important to you, your family! You always showed up for me despite any obstacles. You fought long and hard. It’s always painful to lose loved ones but there has to be some peace knowing that even though you’re missing out on so much that you lived a full life no matter how short it may seem and you are finally resting without pain. Your legacy will live on forever in your children and their children. You are one of a kind, there will never be another one like you! I am so happy and blessed that you got to meet Waverly. Jeff and I will be having a few shots of Jameson this weekend in your memory.
Shaun & Shannon I love you both and my heart breaks for you. She was so special, the best Mum ever and will be missed every single day. xoxo Stefani
