Sandy, your growing family miss you every day 💔


Sandra, 
It's almost a year gone by and you are missed every day, I know by all the friends and family members who love you!  I remember the first day we met, right after Kenny died, at the grief and loss support group at the Center For Attitudinal Healing!  It was an instant friendship!  Then we were neighbors several years later and re-connected as our children played together.  Your loss is our loss, most definitely.
Love,
Tanya



God Speed Sandra. See you on the other side.



Sandra will definitely be missed by many individuals and disability organizations!  I have wonderful memories of working with her at the PAIMI Council meetings at Disability Rights Texas (formerly Advocacy, Inc.).  As the Aministrative Assistant to the Council at Advocacy, Inc., I looked forward to her bright smile and positive attitude at our meetings!  The disability community has lost a strong advocate, but she will remain an  inspiration to others who can make a difference in the lives of so many. Sandra showed that much can be accomplished if you don't give up the fight.  Her Mount Everest climb was an amazing adventure!   My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends!

Sandra you have gone to a new adventure. You'll be missed but your energy laughter, and smile will be a reminder of the beautiful footprint you left on the hearts of those you knew and loved you. Rest in peace, dear.



Sandra was a fellow advocate with us through the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities as Board members.  At one time, she was a final survivor on the Board left with the task of determining the future of CTD. What a capable woman she was: super mom, veteran, organizer, thinker, doer, leader, traveling companion and hostess with the mostest, dancer, music lover, and mountain climber., just to recall a few. We'll miss Sandra and treasure her beautiful memory and example, and keep her and her beloved family in our prayers.  Love & Peace forever, Sandra.

Oh, Sandy, you've left us far too soon. You were so full of life, full of adventure and always managed to laugh despite the things you were dealing with. You also told some of the greatest stories! It was always good to be around you. 

Your children and grandchildren were your greatest joys. You were so proud of them. 

Your committment to and passion for advocating for those with disabilities was admirable. A PAIMI Council or Board of Directors meeting was never boring with you. 

I will miss you.



I met Sandy in 1994 at Shady Grove.  We hit it off immediately. We  would go out and enjoy music after that.  More importantly we would just hang out at my house or hers.  I also took care of Kenny a few times when she had errands to run.  She was a joy to be around.  

I then moved away and in 2000 I came back to Austin and she offered her home until I found another place. I can remember several nights just sitting around watching TV and talking.  She was so proud of her sons.  

To her family, I know that this is a great loss.  I feel comfort knowing that she is with Kenny.  My heart goes out to all you and her other friends. The World was a better place with her in it.  

Peace be with you,

Lia Hill      



Sandra, you will be missed!  I have so many memories of working and having fun with you over the years!  Disability Rights Texas, other disability organizations and the disability community will miss the incredible work that you've done to make a difference in the lives of many.  You've fought the good fight and had so much fun along the way!  I followed your progress up Mount Everest and I know that trip meant so much to you and was one of your fondest memories!   Brandon, Justin and family (and Kenny, too) -- you were the love of Sandy's life!  Over the years, she glowed with pride when speaking (I should say bragging) about you and your accomplishments!  She was bubbling when she talked about Ava and Alexandra - she loved being a Gramma!  Your wonderful memories will somehow get your through the difficult times ahead.   

My Deepest Sympathy - My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!  



 I'm grateful for knowing you. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and your love with others.  Always thought of you as such a strong woman with fierce determination and drive to get the job done. Your smile will be missed, but we know your spirit is with us.



Sandy how can I make a motion or second yours at council meeting. You may have left us but I'll never forget you. We had each others backs at board and council meetings. You may have been Navy but Seller Fi any way. I love you my friend and miss you.

Sandy was a heck of an advocate at CTD as staff member, volunteer, president of the Board and Himalayan trekker on the historic Team Everest expedition.  Her passion for disability advocacy was felt by many and leaves legacies from Texas public policy to the attitudes she changed worldwide. She was full of life.



Sandy,

It is still impossible to believe you have joined the universe with Kenny, but I know he is thrilled to have you with him once again. Thank you for serving us in the Navy.  Thank for your outstanding leadership and passion to promote the inclusion and integration of Texans with developmental disabilities.  I will always remember screaming down the highways of Texas with the windows open and the Rock n Roll playing as we headed out to do community organizing of advocates with disabilities or headed to the beach with the kids.  You were a survivor and adventurer.  You were a Joy. Lead on! I love you.  Belinda Carlton
