~WE WILL HAVE THESE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER~

 ~Sandy~
 
I will hear her laughter in my memory forever... 
 
Sandy and Jeff and a new grandson...a happy, happy moment! 
 
 
Sandy and baby sister Dawn.  Their last visit together. 
 

My beautiful girl fought with every ounce of her strength to live.
I am proud of her!!

    Mona, It is never easy to lose a loved one, especially a child. I hope you are doing a bit better these days and are being comforted by the love and support from the rest of your family and your friends. I know you will forever treasure her memory. She was a beauty, just like her mother.

    This brought the tears today. I'm still reeling by the news and I pray you are doing the best you can at this time. She was a beauty and looked so much like you. You can truly see her lovely spirit in all those pictures. The one with her husband looking at the camera really touched me. You can see the sadness and the love in his eyes. I know you hold her memory and love in your heart each day. One of my favorite hymns says it all: God be with you till we meet again. That's my prayer tonight for you.

    Mona, I haven't stopped by in quite a while and I'm not sure what prompted me to look at my blog list one more time tonight....but I did...and I'm so very, very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. There are no words that will help, but I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you, and I'm keeping you and your entire family in my heart.

    Dearest Mona,
    There isn't a day go by that I am not thinking of you and sending prayers.
    My heart has ached for you and I know there is nothing I can do to ease your pain.
    But I am hoping that by knowing how much so many of us care, it will help if just for a moment.
    Your daughter was so incredibly beautiful like her mom.
    The picture of her and her hubby with they're new grandson is beyond gorgeous.
    Please post all the beautiful memories of her when you are able.
    Sending hugs and prayers dear Mona,
    Cindy

    Dear Mona - There hasn't been a day pass that I haven't thought of you, or dropped into your blog to see if you left a note. I knew your first post back would be a tribute to your very beautiful daughter. She does so much look like you. It took great courage and difficulty to post this blog today and it is indeed a tremendous step forward knowing the burden you carry in your heart - thankyou from my heart for sharing your Sandy with us. You all are in my heart and prayers. Love, Lilly

    My heart is wrenched. I cannot imagine how yours is continuing to beat. My younger sister (43 years old with 3 boys) is currently battling triple negative inflammatory breast cancer. My fears are so strong. I will pray for you. IA parents worst nightmare is to outlast their children. This happened to my parents when my brother passed at the tender age of 19. There are no words.......

I find peace in knowing you have an incredible family...a huge family...and a wonderful husband to see your through this. I know your daughter is with you all the time and is at peace. What a wonderful person she was and such a precious gift we were able to see through your eyes. God love you Mona.
