My deepest thoughts,fervent prayers, and condolences to Bob, Marie & Mike, Jeff and to all immediate & extended Family members, Relatives, & Friends. It my not be every day one can refer to a relative as a Friend {as well}, but truly Sandi was one that fit well into that category. I will always remember the many "kindnesses" both her & Bob showed to my Mother and me. She had a warm & "infectious" laugh that made you want to "laugh-along" -- even when you thought the topic in discussion wasn't even that "funny". I will carry nothing but great memories of her.

My mother, Sylvia, often spoke of how much she enjoyed playing bridge with Sandy. I would imagine they have already put a good round together. May Sandy rest in peace.

Back in the 1970's we were neighbours and what a great neighborhood we had to raise our kids. Much of our furniture was purchased at the Furniture Mart and our groceries came from the Food Mart. Your family gave a lot to the Chilton community. So sorry for this loss. Rest in peace Sandra.

So many years living so close to Sandra evoked such great memories. Joining each other in walks in our great neighborhood or passing each other in cars and rolling down our windows and talking away. She and Bob hold a special place in my heart!!
