Hey Sandra, I remember when I was her caregiver, she was a feisty sweet lady that loved cats..and would always say " God Bless you to me!" That's how our friendship began and I helped her for over a year. I've been good friend's with you for years it seems. My condolences to you and your family! Love Michelle
Hi Sandra: I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. We enjoyed the 10 years she lived in our condo. She was such a sweet lady always so kind to me and my girls. I remember every time I came for a visit, she always gave my girls something to take home. Candies, teddy bear, and even $1.00. I'm going to miss her!Please take care, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Wendy
Dear Sandra, so glad to have known Aunty Irene. What a girl! What a legend! My Mom and your Mom had some good times together. Here is a copy of a card your Mom gave my Mom. I found this among her prized mementoes after she passed away in 2014. My thoughts and love are with you Sandra. You are an amazing woman yourself… Lots of Love and hugs.

Hi Sandy, so sorry to hear about your mom, Irene passing away . I know this has to be an exceedingly difficult time for you .Gabby and I have you very much in our thoughts as you go through the emotional roller coaster after losing a parent . Age and medical conditions do seem so irrelevant at this moment in time and really don't appear to mitigate the profound sadness one feels. The loss is all consuming and overwhelming at times .. the pain seems unbearable and the existential questions you confront so pervasive !So much love from us in Nashville and wishing you and the family a long and healthy life. Much love, Wal and Gab

Hi Sandra, I am so sorry to hear about Mom, also I am even more sorry I did not send her a message for her birthday but I was thinking of her. We have been very busy sorting out for our daughter Yasmin who passed away on the 22nd May. We are back in Brisbane as we are waiting on her house hold things from Perth as she was going to move there but changed her mind as she broke up with the boyfriend , then she went overseas for a year and came home. Then she got this horrible cancer that she was in so much pain. I just canâ??t believe my beautiful girl has gone and I wonâ??t see her again. She was only 42. Your Mom and I had some really good times. She was the longest friend I had. I am on FB maybe we can keep in touch via FB. My thoughts are with you all, you are all in my heart. Please give my condolences to all. much love, Zena & Fred. xx
Dear Sandra– our deepest sympathy with your big loss — mom was blessed to have you as a daughter — although we as children often become a silent presence in our parents lives — doing whats got to be done–and thus icons on both sides are created– mostly it never gets talked about –Thinking of you heading for a new life!!

Dear Sandra: Nothing much to say except that when I saw her picture–â??There was you ! ! â?? Incredible likeness. If you have her longevity genes youâ??ll be around a long time. All those years—-you must miss her in your own way Loving thoughts-Douglas
