To Sandy’s family I am so sorry for your loss.
Sandy was a sweet lady. I thought a lot of her.
My parents and she & John were very good friends for a long time. I still loved to hear her talk & she had a beautiful smile. I know she will be terribly missed and was loved very much.
Aunt Sandy is an amazing woman. She and my mother Shirley Warner were best friends from their teens up. She had a story of my mother teaching her to drive when she came here with John (whom I’ve always thought of as Uncle) and that story was hilarious. She told it when she and John came to hospice to say their goodbyes to Dad. I pray for her son J.O. RIP sweet lady love you!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Praying for peace, comfort, and understanding for the entire family. I am so sorry for your loss!!!
Sandra – I know you will miss your Granny so much!!! I love you and I’m here with you for anything you need!!!
Granny was a legendary person who will be greatly missed. Now she has been reunited with the love of her life. Keeping the entire family in thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow.
My heart is breaking for the Zimmerman family Sandy was always an amazing woman and I had the greatest respect for her, much prayers and love to the family.
