Dear Sandy, I am a God loving, intelligent and confident woman because of YOU! I do not write to say goodbye, I'll say "See you in heaven." Sandy was to me what every woman needs in their life. A 1st cousin who was more like an older sister who would guide, love, discipline and yet keep all my secrets. Taught me to be an older sister and handle my business;the importance of etiquette, whether good or bad like the bible says “All things must be done decently and in order”. She always let me know she was only a phone call away and together we could conquer anything. Our family will forever be in Sandy's debt for always being there for us. I thank you Sandy for stepping up and being the matriarch of our family. Darryl and Jerome you had a great mom. Just like all of us she had her faults but she loved you and only wanted the best life could offer you and so do I. Gary, I thank you for being there for Sandy! To the rest of our family may God's Mercy and Grace see us through. For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to be like Sandy; from following her on a long dark road;the dorm at nursing school and then "her" boys; she dedicated her entire life to caring for other people. I pray that I touch as many lives as she did. Love you cuz!!! God bless. Brenda
