Although I never met Sandra, I have worked remotely with her son Chris for years. My sympathies and prayers for the entire family and close friends of the family. Her passing was more heartfelt for me due to my younger sister passing away in 2019. Her name was also Sandra Sue. Hope that knowing she is reunited with passed loves ones in Heaven is a small comfort. Robert - Houston TX

Dear Darrell, Chris, Cameron and families, we were so saddened by the news of Miss Sandra’s passing. What love she shared to all she came in contact with and what joy she brought with the many ways she blessed us all as she ministered in love to us in our community of Holly Tree. My children will always have great treasured memories of the deepest love and care from you, Darrell, and Sandra. So sorry for how time and life had taken us out of that great community of love and we truly have missed you deeply. Our prayers are with you that comfort, peace and strength will be poured upon each of you and that the love and life of Sandra will bless and keep you strong forever. We love you, Beth and Elizabeth Byce

Dear Darrell, Chris, Cam and families,
prayed again this morning for all of you. So grateful that Sue and I were able to visit several years ago. Sandra's cheerful spirit and strong faith were always a notable characteristic of her personality, and an especially powerful inspiration as her health declined. May God's peace descend on you all, and fill your hearts with joy for all the years you shared and the eternal reward that awaits all who await Christ's return. Bob
