To the family and particularly to my friend, Marlene, and Sandy’s husband, Blair, a long time ago friend, my sincerest sympathy for your loss. How tragic – words just cannot be found. I am so very, very sorry. I am pleased that online condolences are available. I have no addresses for you and beyond that, I am living in Italy with no hopes of finding addresses. To my surprise, Italy does not use the traditional sympathy card. Again, please accept my deepest sympathy.

My prayers and thoughts go out to you Blair and your family. I had the privilege of meeting her and taking care of her when she was admitted to Moravian Manor. The last 2 years I moved to another unit , but I always checked in on her .Her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes is what I’ll always remember about her. May you find peace knowing she’s in a wonderful place and no longer suffering.And most of all,knowing how much Sandra loved her family!! Treasure the memories, no-one can take those precious times from you.
