I am so sad to hear the devastating news of Sandra’s passing. She was my dear friend and neighbor who was always sweet and cheerful and kind. Even when she began treatment after moving to Florida she seldom mentioned her condition and remained upbeat . 
 I will miss her very much.

How to adequately share all the special times growing up with Sandra, on the Canadian shores of Lake Erie, each summer of our childhood years? So much fun, frolic, sun, swimming, skiing, boating, fish fry’s, slide shows, life lessons, new experiences, boys, getting in trouble... Sandra, or Sange as we called her, was always a positive force to be reckoned with and pretty much always the lead for trying new things. The Monkee's seem to have known her when they sang about "Sandra, long hair in pig tails, can't get her out of my mind"! Her adventurous spirit always wanting to experience the fullness of life - in any way possible!  Takes after her mother in that way, though she never seemed to get in trouble for anything if found out about something not good.  It was wonderful growing up that way each summer together as "beach bums". Never short on drama since everyone -up and down the beach- were friends & involved together. When Sange met Claude, the drama really began, and we all went along for the ride, yet, we knew they would always be together, forever, no matter what.
Your loving, caring nature impacted so many in your walk of life, including by way of your prayers and your Godly conduct and love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. So enjoyed our lifelong friendship & our spiritual chats, over the years. 
Thank you for being the wonderful person we all cherish, and thus will sorely miss. I am very grateful to have been part of your life.  Till we met again, in spirit, my dear Sange, I/we won't get you off my mind and heart. 
With sincere condolences to all her family & many friends and with love

Our friendship with Sandra covers the past 50 years. From teenagers at Lake Erie to parenthood and raising our families. Sandra has always been passionate about her family and friends. She was very proud of her husband and her children, she was always ready to share their accomplishments with you and hear how your family was doing.  You always knew how she felt and what she cared about. Her love and compassion were genuine, unconditional and also mixed with a great sense of humour. Sandra was always there ready to share a laugh or tear, your concerns became her concerns. Throughout her life she lived her faith, and shared her faith with everyone.   

It’s so hard to put into words just how much Sandra meant to me an my daughter!! No one could ask for a better sister-in-law law and God mother for Tiffany. Sandra was such a loving soul and family was always number one to her!! She ador d her family and her children were the world to her and her grandchildren was like being able to have more babes to love and share life with. She so loved all her babies, including my daughter her God child!  She brought love and happiness to all the people she knew.  Even during this illness she did not want to tell everyone about it, she never wanted pity she only wanted to keep going as long as she could with her children and husband at her side, such a strong woman!!   Will always hold her close close in my heart and every birthday I will celebrate both of ours as we always did since we had the same birthday but 🥅 ne year appart.  I will truly miss her and pray that Claude and David, Ashley and Lauren put Their faith in God to help them through!! And to realize she is now in his loving arms!❤️💗

I am so thankful for the few years I was able to be friends with Sandra at Church of the Holy Spirit. She was so generous, loving, and liberal with hugs and kisses for us and for our children. She was earnestly in love with Jesus, and a beauty inside and out. We missed her when she moved to FL, and will always, until we meet again in glory! Claude, our prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your bride.
