  1. Our prayers and deepest heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family during this most difficult time.

  2. My condolences to your family for the passing of your Mom and wife, Sandy.

    Sandy and I first met in 1962 at the ages of 5 and 7. Over the course of many years we went from just two kids who’s parents were friends, to two kids whom became friends, and then step-brothers/sisters. We were a very constant presence in each other’s lives for many, many years sharing parents and grandparents. From my earliest recollections I remember Great Grandma (Mae) and Great Grandpa Ellis (James) as being my adopted grandparents, as well as Great Grandma Kimmie and Maude (McAlpine).

    Even though our lives were separated by many miles and years, Sandy and my lives were closely intertwined for almost 60 years. I will always remember her fondly as my step-sister and friend. I hope that time will soon replace the pain of your Mom’s passing with the pleasure of the memories of your lives together. I wish Sandy peace as she begins her journey into forever.

  3. Sandy was such a wonderful person. She will always be in my heart and missed very much. Rest In Peace

  4. A very beautiful,loving kind caring lady and a great mom, friend and 2nd mom to my kids. God Bless You. Love you forever🙏🙏🙏🙏

  5. Mama you will be missed all the days of my life I have left here on Earth. I love you deeply. I’ll forever cherish our final days together. Thank you to everyone who has supported all of us kids as we remember our sweet and kind mother. God bless you all and may our Mama Rest In Peace.

  6. What a beautiful tribute to your mom and great pictures! Sandy was always kind and loving to me and she loved her family with all her heart. She was sick for so long and I’m so glad that she is finally healed and at peace and able to be with her loved ones who have passed on. My prayers for comfort for all of you.

  7. I grew up with sandy as my cousin and friend family vacations. Uncle Jim teaching me the art of martini making as soon as I could see over the bar cart. Aunt Mary was by far my favorite aunt my daughter is named after her and my mother who was her best friend . I pray for your family and that she has found our parents in heaven
