Everytime I look at the Stars I will think of you my Dear Friend. We had so many interests that were the same. A kind soul with a generous heart and always willing to smile.
Deane and I send our condolances, prayers and hugs to Terry and the Family. A beautiful person has gained her wings <3

It was the biggest pleasure of my life to quit my job to come take care of you mom. I will cherish those three months I got to spend with you, laugh, cry and do all I could to make you comfortable. I have fond memories of my life with you and we always had a stale mate playing chess together. I miss you and love you so very much mom!

I’m sorry for the loss. Sandy would always perk up and say hi whenever she see me come to a geocaching event. She will definitely be missed.

Terry and “Sudsy” were some of the first geocachers we met when we got into this hobby 14 years ago. They were always kind to us, and always were happy to see us at events (and we were happy to see them too!). I am so sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing. 71 is way too young to pass on. Our deepest condolences to Terry and the rest of the family.

I loved Sandy deeply and will continue to support Terry and her family to the best of my ability.
I have the fondest memories of our “Girlfriend Vacation” every fall. Sandy’s devotion to her husband, and her family has always inspired me. She worked diligently when she was able.
My heart is full with the fun and friendship we shared. You are in heaven now, and you are always in my heart forever.

I was saddened to learn of Sandra’s passing. “Sudsy” as I knew her was always so kind to me and I enjoyed our conversations at geocaching events. My sincere condolences to Terry and family.

Sandy, fondly known as “Sudsy” to her fellow cachers will be so missed. She always had a smile and a story to tell. I’m going to miss you Sandy, you were one sweet soul. My thoughts are with Terry and the rest of her family.
