Sandra is my cousin. Her Daddy and mine were brothers. We got together for family celebrations and I always looked up to her, my other cousins and my own sister because they were older and "cool" members of the family!! Sweet memories. I´m thankful for our time together and saw her some as we grew up. Thank You Jesus for sweet Sandra and special memories for all who knew her.

Sandra was such an important part of our lives and the wonderful memories we have of our years at Oakfield Farm. Who can ever forget her slightly unhinged version of Auntie Em when we did The Wizard of Oz? Or all the times she cheered on our children as though they were her own? And of course the fun we had when it was cocktail time after a long day! The marriage of Howard and Sandra was also something we will never forget. So much love! Sandra, you belong to the ages now but will live on in our hearts for as long as they keep beating. We are so grateful you were part of our lives. God speed The Temelini´s

Sandra was not only a mentor in the Alpha programs at St Andrews, I'm sure her church activities were too many to list. For me & many others, to just see Sandra, was to see Love(Agape). She was an inspiration to be more like her, like Jesus. Esp prayers for dear Howard & all loved ones.

Ms Rambo was one of a kind and will be dearly missed. I have such fond memories from Greenville to Charleston with Kristi and our Chi Omega sisters. My love to the family.

What a lovely tribute to an amazing woman. I have no doubt she is entertaining all of God´s angels and doing it with all her southern charm and Grace.
I wish I could attend the celebration of life but I will be at Sawyer´s baby shower celebrating our first Granchild Lucie Emerson coming in March.
Sending all my love and hugs to Howard and all the family.
