I know I cannot enter all you feel. I can but offer what my love does give. The strength of caring. This I do in quiet ways so you may not walk alone.

Jeff Casey and I are praying for your sweet family. Though I got to be near her only few times for Tyler and Kristen’s engagement party and wedding, she was so radiant, kind and endearing. We know that she is missed. May you all be comforted that she is only asleep in Christ and you will see her again very soon when we are all joined together in heaven with Jesus.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Embry, Marti, and Holly, my heart breaks for each of you. I know that, like me, you take great comfort in knowing that Sandy loved Jesus and made Him her top priority. His precense in her life shone like the noon day. Even her skin glowed with His favor. That was the last thing I said to her when I saw her at a meal after Sharon Kaker Blake's service. Sandy was one of the sweetest women I've ever known. And it's apparent that she made a huge impact in your family and on the world around her. Your family will be in my prayers and I look forward to the reunion we will all have in God's perfect timing. Her service was absolutely beautiful. You all did an incredible job of memoralizing her life and her vivacious spirit. I'm leaving this here for those who may not understand the hope we have: 1 Thessalonions 4:13-18. I love you all. In Christ's Love, Sabrina

Sandy and Curry were among the first to welcome us to church and invite us to Sunday School 25+ years ago. So many shared memories and watching our kids grow up. Sandy was always so lively and lovely. You knew it was a good day when you saw her and you were going to leave with a smile on your face. Love and prayers to the families.

Sandy, we love you dearly and the beautiful smile you brought to everyone around you. Your infectious laugh would light up every room and you had such an intangible gift to bring comfort to those that needed you. God had a different plan for you than keeping you here on Earth, but the embodiment of you will live through all of your relatives as they show grace, humility, beauty, and love that only you could show. Our hearts go out to everyone in your family.

Sandy loved her family and friends fiercely. We all were so lucky to be the recipients of Sandy’s joyful yet no nonsense attitude. She and I could talk for hours about things I do not talk to many about- I will miss you Sandy. Hearing her tell stories about her beautiful grandchildren- she really came into her own as Gandy. I’m so happy that she got to live a full and beautiful life with so much love around her. It does not feel right that she was taken from us all so soon in life but I am grateful that she did not suffer and is surely on to the next big thing in heaven where she will have the ultimate peace and no longer any of the stressors and pain of life. I wish I could join you all to mourn this terrible loss and celebrate this beautiful life. ❤️

I am so saddened to hear of Sandy’s passing. Sandy was so welcoming, vibrant & kind. She & I worked in the same office building many years ago, but more recently she & i worked together when she filled in at my current office. She had not changed a bit & was just so beautiful. Sandy will be missed. I will be praying for you all.

Sandy was my pledge sister in Alpha Phi. She was always a breath of fresh air. Kind, generous, smart, friendly, and beautiful. She had a soul that matched her outside and radiated the beauty that comes from a relationship with Christ. While I haven’t seen her in person for a long time we stayed in touch on social media. It’s so clear that she lived a vibrant life, lived well and was well loved. I was so sad to hear about her passing and know she will be deeply missed. I take comfort in knowing she is with her Lord and Savior and left behind a beautiful legacy in her sons and grandchildren. My prayers are with all of those who knew her and especially her family.
