My aunt Sandy was an influence to better myself in my younger years and was always kind, with a good sense of humor and smile for everyone. I will never forget the reunions..holidays together..or the family Rook games growing up. She will be sorely missed and will always be a part of me with those memories.

Sandy and David attended West Side Christian Church for many years. I always enjoyed seeing them and would visit with them as often as I could. Sandy always had a smile on her face. She always saw the good in others around her. She was a kind, caring lady, and she will be missed. Praying for God's peace and comfort for the family.

I remember back when mom worked Sandra stayed with us at our trailer, and babysit Diane , myself and Tammy. She always tried to make every day fun and always came up with something for all of us to do. She always laughter a lot. Because I always remember when she laughted I thought to myself wow look at her teeth, she always laughted so hard that her mouth would open really wide . I was young at this time in my life , and I always wondered how she could laugh so much.
I hope you enjoy this little blast from the past. Trudy K. Brumitt

I grew up with Sandra and spent many a Sunday playing with her and my older sister. She was always the sweetest person, despite everything. I will always remember her. Her son should be very proud of all the obstacles his mom overcame and, yet, still retained the purest of hearts.
