I remember sandy. we always had such good conversations in messages here. she was such a good and sweet person.

It is sad JC and little things make us remember those that have passed on.

Your point I believe, is you miss her as do so many here.

I think it is a good thing to bring her up every now and then to honor the contributions she gave to this room.

I've had that happen recently with sandy's icon
it does tug at the heart strings
and she does come to mind a good bit

for me Sandy and I use to talk about tv shows and so want to ask her silly things about what she would of thought of those shows, she was also supportive and kind and you could go round with her about something and than she was kind enough to let move on saying CP was like family

I wonder how her family is doing and I wish them well

Was going through my friend list a couple days ago, trying to remove people who no longer come on here to post. Came across Sandy's avatar and just couldn't bring myself to delete her. Her cow still makes me smile.

I hope her son and husband are getting by okay. She certainly enriched the lives of those who knew her.

every time i see her avitar i always smile, she was very welcoming and kind...it is sad that shes gone now...she poured her heart out to me in an email she sent me at a time when i was distraught...i saved the email into my personal offline journal..the memories she left for me will never be forgotten

Sandy was a beautiful beloved sister to me whom I will never forget and I cherish her memories. I say that because in the end we had become very close and when she died so did a piece of my heart with her. I still have e-mails and letters from her that I hang on to....in addition other things she did in my life that literally changed my course so to speak. I am grateful that I spoke with Sandy about Jesus frequently and I have no doubt where she is.....I will see her again one day.

Sadly, although I have Tim's cell number he only picked up once after she passed away and we spoke for about 30 minutes. I was choke crying because I could barely get out the words to say how sorry I was that this happened. It surprised us all and was definitely unexpected. Tim assured me him and Conor would be ok so I have to be at peace with that. I mourn her friendship every day because it left a deep hole that can never be filled.

Love and hugs to each of you!!

I still smile when I see that avatar. I remember telling her that once when she had changed it and brought it back.
you're right, Toni..
it is nice to talk about her.
i still go to her profile sometimes...feeling like something is left unsaid or ..
I don't know..
but..it's nice to "hear" people talking about her.
I'm glad you guys save her avatar, too.
she was one to let tiffs go.

the best laugh I remember getting from her was her...happy...reaction to her odd response to her ..shoot...can.t think of the name of it...the spinal cord stimulator implant...
haha...not a lot of folks would have told the whole board about it... ;-)

I lost my dad last year. No one mentions him, and if I mention him, they act awkward. I know you're not supposed to talk about someone constantly when they're gone, but ..... I guess it's for the grief board.

I'm sorry you lost your friend. It's nice that you mentioned her

5 Months ago to the day. I still miss her too.

Is it, Keeska ? well...there's more coincidence.

Pinterest..
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad.
i can only imagine it makes it somehow worse to not even be able to talk about him. I know we shouldn't...to the extent that it's possible...dwell . on grief and loss...but...certainly. I think, we should remember. hugs.

thank you, Beauty..
I know you were Sandy's cyber sister...and how sad for you to lose that in addition to your own health concerns.

thank you all..
it is nice. to just talk.
I know this isn't about pain..
I try to..at least fake sticking to the topic most of the time..
I just really felt like remembering her with someone.

hugs

I liked sandy so much and I have to tell about the end of her life being more than coincidence because when it happened....does anyone remember her planning the birthday party for Tim and his decision to go to the work inservice out of town? When she heard that she was talking of divorcing him and ending her love relationship with him over the fact they had planned a surprise birthday party for him and someone else was paying for it all....the saddest part of her death is that it happened when Tim was away at that conference....and it was almost certain to do with the pneumonia that Tim is a Respiratory Therapist and couldn't see was so bad as to keep him from going away for that trip.....

It made me so mad...I thought he let her down big time by going away and progress might have been taking her to hospital if he had stayed...But then I have to remember GOD is the key to when someone leaves our living world and Enters HIS Kingdom....

it was GOD who asked Sandy to come join him....for that I am sure she is in good place now....she had just returned to church a few months before because what she wanted was thru GOD....


thanks JC for bring it into my mind again today....hugs

regardless on your religious views on the matter we shouldn't place any blame toward Sandy's family at any point or anyway, as yes they had personal problems and things that didn't hit the board that a few know from personal call with her, there was ALOT going on before her death and for me there will always be more questions than answers as it was sudden

all I can say is thankfully her son wasn't home and didn't find her and it was rather odd to my understanding for him to be out of the house and with Tim gone no less but again more questions than answers

say what you will but I think its just sad and my thoughts remain with her son and her husband who is left to raise his child without sandy

never will look at waffles the same again lol

JC,

I still have her avatar and look at it and think ofher often. I was at my mom's memorial service on Mother's day when I got the call about Sandy. I talked to her a lot on the phone and she actually was one of the first people here on the board to welcome me and made me feel like I belonged.

She'd call me sister all the time, and said I reminded her of herself in a lot of ways. I pray her husband, Tim and Conner are doing well. I know she adored Conner and worried about a lot of people here on a daily basis and wish she were still here so we could have a few more laughs together. Thanks for bringing her up.

Hugs,

Xoxoxoxo

JC, thank you for your post. On several occasions I will be going through stuff on here and her Avitar will pop up & my breath will get caught in my throught because for a fleeting second I think oh good she's back and then that second is gone and reality remains. I too still have her on my friends page each time I see that silly cow it makes me smile and feel grateful that I was able to know her for the time I did.

Hugs & God Bless
Lisa

Funny, I just went to her page yesterday! I too have saved all her messsges and her friendship. Still have her in my cell phone.
I was worried about her being sick- doing so much..She loved helping people feel better about themselves and that's what I loved about her, and yes she loved her waffles...lol
