Today is 2/26/24 and I went on Sandy’s FB page to wish her a Happy Birthday. Then I scrolled & saw…. The result is: I’m sitting here crying. I only met her in person one conference, but she was the sweetest person & she left a huge imprint on my heart. My condolences to her family. She is so missed, but remembered forever. Love never dies.

I met Sandy at The Lighthouse Church in Wyoming De. We became friends, out for coffee after services and shared our lives and love of our Lord also on the phone. We said our goodbyes a short time ago and I appreciated the call I recieved from her family. Keeping them in my prayers and thanking our Lord for the blessing of Sandy he gave to all that knew or met her.

My condolences to all of Sandy’s family. I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Sandy through a mutual friend, and through a group at church. She loved loving people the way our lord and savior loved “The Church”. She always smiled a contagious smile, and never gave up, even in the midst of trials that others would have buckled. I can already picture her dancing and singing praises to God as she entered heavens gate. Well done good and faithful servant, I look forward to the next time we meet, fully restored by our lord and savior Jesus Christ
