Bart, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful wife. She was such a sweet funny lady. Also, very kind to us at HR Block bringing us yummy treats. Praying for you and family, and both fur babies, as they too will miss her greatly.
Liz was so kind to let me know.

Thank you. We did have some good times at HRB (but I really don’t miss it at all!). Sandra’s loss was really unexpected — she had been sick for a couple of years, but we thought the disease was under control. We were planning several trips this summer, then it just seemed to rear up and overwhelm her, and she was gone. My daughters have both been here through all of this and have been a great help in handling all the details. But it still sometime seems unreal.
Let’s stay in touch.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as you grieve the loss of this exceptional lady. I Think when they were passing out talents, she got in line three times. She had a heart for helping others, these past few months she would keep me updated on Maury and Delila and she loved being able to help them. She was so proud of every accomplishment one of the daughters or grandchildren made. I will miss our phone chats sweet cousin.

My heartaches. Sandra and my mama were family but with them it was more.
I remember her coming to visit. and going to Aunt Faye and Uncle Ed’s
Pictures of her holding me.
I am sorry that I did not know she was sick.
I will cherish those memories and love.
May the God Bless you!

Deepest condolences for your loss Bart. Sandra was a very kind and giving soul. She certainly was talented with her baking. I am so glad I got to know her in the last few years. Prayers for you and your family.
