Omg! I didn't know that Ms. Sandra had passed. Your mom and my mom was classmates. I met your mom, when she was coming to Health Plus faithfully. And I told her who my folks was. And from there. We would talk for hours. My mother passed away in 2011. I saw your mother had the Mall. She give hug that I will never forget. She was truly a beautiful woman and will be missed. My prayers are with you.2

San, I can truly say you were an icon to the young women of WMR ss well as the Lee County community. You are one of the reasons that I am the woman I am today. I loved you as a big sister, friend, mentor and you were so trustworthy. I thank God for allowing me to to accept your teachings: To always strive as a woman of God, be respectful, become the best through education, perseverance and so much more. You were a beautiful flower and you have impacted the lives of thousands. You will be missed and i I know there will be family and friends waiting at God's gate to receive your beautiful soul.
