Maudeen Eccles, April 3, 3024. Sandra was my husband Joe’s double first cousin with his Uncle Carl marrying his Aunt Vergie. They were close in age with Joe passing 6 years ago. The families visited often through the years. We saw Sandra’s strong personality & faith & humor! She told us of trips to Tennessee. Joe took her to her favorite Houston basketball game when she came for a visit. We will miss Sandra and wish her peace in Paradise. We also wish blessings to Judy Lytle who cared for Sandra during these last difficult years. My love to all of Sandra’s family.9

Sandra will be missed by so many! Her parents, my parents, & Hilory & siblings parents were “forever friends” from way back when. As kids growing up, we didn’t see each other real often, but we just always picked up where we left off. She was very special to me in many ways. I was even thinking about her a few days ago… Heaven gained a wonderful soul…..

I remember that picture! It’s the way I want to remember her! She was a dear friend. All in my family LOVED Sandra. When she loved someone, she really loved them! She remembered us on special occasions, would drop by with some food from a restaurant that was so good she had to share it, always gave Don and I two cards for bdays etc. because one card didn’t say enough, that was our Sandra. She was such a good fan, like it was said above, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, Lady Vols, Jesus, Pastor Don and I, Judy, Hil, the boys and many others. I will greatly miss my precious friend But I have lasting memories of Sandra that I will keep in my heart! Enjoy Heaven Sandra!! I’m sure they have country music up there. Love you always ❤️🤗
