Tributes
"Sandy you will be deeply missed by all. Your silly jokes and laugher I can still hear. You were such a wonderful loving, kind hearted person. I remember bird watching with you and grandma Carol all time. I will never forget our talks and will cherish our times we had together forever. I will miss you so but am thankful you will no longer be suffering. The Lord has gained an Angel of ours and we will forever have a New guardian to guide us in life. May you rest in peace with our Lord. God bless."
"Aunt Sandy had character and at times was a second mother when I was growing up. She had a unique way of making holidays special and I will never forget making "bombs away" cookies. She had a special way of encouraging us to go past our personal boundaries like swimming out to the raft on McGee's lake or saddling a horse. She helped us pass the heartbreak of the hogs grandpa butchered in the fall by making sugar cookie cut-outs of "Pigget and Spot" as a memorial. She had the fortitude to take us for a sleigh ride and tobogganing in the hills in spite of having a broken leg. To add to it, the horse ran off and she hobbled out of the hills pulling the toboggan, Joann, Bethany and I in tow. This is how I remember her, strength and courage with no boundaries. "
"Joann and family~we are so sorry to hear of the loss of Sandy... oh so many fond memories! Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers....with all our sympathy and love, The Lambert Girls-Beth, Jacki Sue, Gina and Vicki, too."
