RIP Sandra. You were a blessing to everyone you knew and you never met a stranger. I am sorry for the pain you experienced and know you are at peace. Love you!
To the only love of my life – Sandra, how very dare you not to share with me of your ongoing depression and to do this alone, baby- you knew I would be there for you. I was by your side the entire time the first time, I would have been there for you then too. Hell, you could have come to live with me for a while if you wanted. Anything but this, anything but this reality. The hours of tears cannot bring you back, the hours of denial do not make your heart still beat. I stand here alone and now without you here on this planet without me. I wished I had known the level and depth of your pain, what I do know is you are safe in the arms of Christ. Your faith was strong and that will see you through. I love you and always will. You will forever be in my heart and in the forefront of my mind and soul.
