Dear Aunty Sandra, I don’t think there are enough words to express how much your absence is felt by the entire family wherever we are. It’s like a piece of us is missing, and it’s because you left such a huge impact on all of our lives. Your influence reached far and wide, touching everyone who crossed paths with you. You were one of a kind, Aunty, and you taught me so much just by being you. Your strength and resilience were like a guiding light for me as I grew up. Seeing you tackle life head-on as a single mom, independent and fearless, was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Those lessons stuck with me as I ventured into adulthood. I’ll always hold onto the memories we shared—the laughter, the tears, the good times, and the bad. I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to introduce you to Faith or to say a proper goodbye in person, but I believe that farewells aren’t forever. Rest easy now, Aunty Sandra. I hope you find peace in reuniting with Scott, Gran, and Grandad. And please, keep an eye on all of us from up there. Your presence will be deeply missed. Sending you all my love Stacy xxxxxxxx

Was not only my big sister but my best friend 💛 forever in my heart ♥️ xxxx

I will always remember my auntie across the road. Though it's been many years since I saw you or we had even spoken, one of my earliest and happiest memories is playing on the old slides in the middle of Piper Drive. Our house was on one side of the street and yours on the other. As faint as my memories are now, I vaguely remember running into your house instead of mine sometimes for juice or snacks, or hearing your shouting from the window when we were up to no good or it was dark and time to go home. When we moved across the bridge and I started walking to and from school, it was always comforting to know that I passed your house on the way home. As Jocky said, you were so strong, we knew we could always land at yours if there was trouble. Thanks for being there and making us feel safe, I will never forget those early memories and look forward to telling my kids about them one day. Rest in peace. xx
