I am so sad to hear of her passing. We lost track of each other years ago but I remember her well. She was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. I still have a set of coasters she brought me from her travels to Egypt (I believe).

Steve, Mrs. Busbee, Bonnie, and all of Sandra's family we are so very sorry for your loss. I would never have dreamed Sunday while visiting with her that it would be our last time. She and I just seemed to hit it off the first time we met. I loved her humor, spirit, and love for Christ. I know she will be missed by her family and friends dearly for being the person she was. She is where we hunger and live to be. Yet, it is hard here in the flesh to say goodbye even knowing it is just for awhile. Will be keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Love you Sandra.
