Her smile and giggle, her wisdom, friendship and loyalty are going to be missed hugely. My sincerest condolences to her very loved family.

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile
If only I could have you back for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do
You always meant so very much and always will do too
The fact that you’ve no longer here will always cause me pain
But you’re forever in my heart
Until we meet again

I loved you so much. You were the best Aunty in the whole world and I will miss you immensely. Like many I have no idea what to do next. I have no more tears and the angry phase is passing, now it’s just a pain in my heart. Fly free beautiful wonderful lady XXxXx

Thanks for sharing Sandra with us all.
Her and I caught up in 2019 after a small 60 year gap but it was like meeting an old friend as we had families and people to chat about.
My sincere condolences to all her family and friends .

Went to St Patricks Invercargill with Sandra, then we caught up with each other on Facebook nearly 60 years later.
Sandra I am going to miss your wicked sense of humour, some of the jokes we shared were hilarious.
Very saddened by your passing.
