I can't believe that it has four years since you left us. You were my best friend for over 40 years and the plan was for us to grow old together. I still feel lost without you. You were the one person that I could always talk to, you never judged, you would give advice if I asked for it. You will always be in my heart and forever missed. I love you.

I miss you everyday. Part of me left the same day you left us. I would give anything to hear you say "hey lady". I would love one more day with you. Maybe one day that will happen. Until then love you with all my heart and more.

Sandy was like another mother to me ,Iam still so very saddened andshewill always have a place in my heart and thoughts as well as her family .

I still miss you beautiful lady! xox you were the best to me that I ever knew! 
always will be Sandy!

Bob,John,and Matt I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Sandy you will forever be in my heart....as so will your boys....wanted to be there for your celebration of your life,but I could not make it...witch broke my heart.....but no mater where or what I'm doing I will always be celebrating your life my friend....you were one of a kind for sure always making people love you for who you were and that was one special lady.....forever in my heart Sandy,Bobby,Matthew.John Scott....you boys every need anything just call.....sending my love to you all !

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I miss you so much Sandy you was just like a big sister to me.  I know you are sitting on a big fluffy cloud watching over us. Fly high my beautiful angle.   I will never forget you  Love you

I remember when Sandy became my boss at Epic! She was talking about where she had been living in Poplar Bluff Mo. I said "oh my gosh that's where my family is from!" We became friends and had a mutual respect for one another! Whenever we spoke recently on the phone she would always say "I love you" before she hung up! I will miss you dear friend...until we meet again in heaven!

Sandy was an amazing lady who always made me laugh...she will be missed by so many...rest in peace my friend.  Prayers for the family.

I'm sure gonna miss this dear & loving soul! My prayers are with her loved ones! Known Sandy for years & a lot of her family members as well! R.I.P. MY DEAR FRIEND & will see you again in Gods Speed

So sorry for your loss.  Please know that lots of folks cared very much about Sandy and admired the passion with which she cared for her clients and the people who worked for her. She was tough and funny and will be missed.  You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

I have known Sandy since I was a child. I grew up in the same neighborhood as her, where my sister and I became the best of friends with her youngest son Matt. She was always kind to us, and will be missed greatly. I can still hear her voice every time I look at her pictures. My deepest,and most sincere condolences go out to Matt, John,  Bobby and the entire family. There are no right words to express when something this unbearable happens.I pray for strength for you all, and send my love.

Prayers for her family. I worked at EPIC with Sandy and she was so devoted to the mission of truly caring for the participants.

I worked with Robert Lutton at Walmart in East Peoria.  I am so sorry for your loss.

I  will  miss  you   pat lohman  is  waiting  for  you

It is hard to say goodbye to someone who has been here throughout my whole life. You were like an aunt to me and it is so hard to see you go. My heart is broken right now for Bob, John, and Matt. I can't even imagine what you guys are going through. I love you all and you're all in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything at all I am here for you.
RIP Sandy and while you are in heaven please hold my babies close, say hi to all of our loved ones, and save my spot close by all of you. Until we meet again you will be missed very much!!

Sending prayers and GOD's comfort for the whole family. Heaven definitely got another angel!!  from a fellow classmate who was touched by her love and never ending friendship

Sandy was a very special lady , a neighbor of many years  and friend in our "golden" years . We shared a love of all things fairy , dogs, and our families..l will miss our daily Face Booking and being able just to look out my window and see her working in her yard, walking her dog and just being Sandy , the unique , one of a kind individual that she was . l know we are all still in shock at the suddenness of it all and the hurt and loss will continue to manifest as everyone adapts,each,  in their own way, to this new world without her in it . Prayers for strength and filled with love to her sons and family as they make these adaptations to what , l know , seems a loss much too soon and much too young , but all in GOD's hands and we will draw any peace from that we can ❤

Sandy you will be missed. You were my favorite manager. You were tough but fair. You will be missed.
