It has been an honor to be a friend of both Sandra Ashley and her sister Barbara. My contact with Sandra has shown that she had a kind and caring heart, and expressed that to my mom and me. She always remembered Holidays and recognized that in my own faith. She loved her family and she needs to be remembered as a person who tried to recognize the needs of others in ways that she was capable of. She was always appreciative of small gifts and affections shared with her.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies, and those of my family
members, who know and love the deceased's sister, Barbara J. Ashley.
Just a few words regarding Sandra, who was called Sandy. When I first met her, I was taken back,"she was so beautiful and statuesque." I later discovered not only was she beautiful, but very intelligent. Barbara shared stories about her world-wide travels and I lived vicariously through Sandy's travels. I wish Sandra finds the "Peace of GOD which transcends all understanding."
Barbara must rest in the knowledge that she was a good sister for many years. If I was blessed with a sister, I would want her to be like Barbara Ashley (my sister in Christ.)

To the family of Sandra Ashley:
I would like to express my condolences and sympathy to you in the passing of Sandra. During her time on dialysis with us, I had the privilege of getting to know Sandra and to educate her about her special dietary needs. Sandra was always interested in learning about her diet and frequently asked me questions which showed her interest in striving to take care of herself while coping with some monumental challenges in her life. After reading the many accomplishments Sandra achieved during her life, I only wish I had gotten the chance to know her better. May it be a comfort to you to know that Sandra is now with God and no longer faces the difficulties she was faced with on earth. May God bring you peace and comfort in the coming days and weeks as you remember Sandra.
In sympathy,

I would like to offer my deepest
sympathy to Sandra's sister, Barbara Ashley, and all of Sandra's
family and friends. Sandra was always happy and a pleasure to
visit with.
I am glad she hugged me the last time we saw each other.
She will be missed.

I would like to express my condolences and sympathy to you Barbara, and your family in the passing of Sandra. Even though I knew Sandra for such a short time, it was as if I knew her my whole life. She accepted me into the family with open arms. Her great niece, Tonye will miss her dearly, there was not a day or holiday that went by that Sandra didn't call or remember her. I just wish Tonye had a chance to truly know what a gentle, warm and giving person she was. In ways big and small Sandra's life changed our world and left it a better place, and touched too many hearts to ever be forgotten. May you and your family find comfort in knowing how many people share in your sadness. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Dear Barbara
This note is to extend my heartfelt
condolences to you and your family and to let you know the joy
I feel knowing that Sandra is with the Lord. Sandra loved and
respected you greatly. Whenever we had a conversation, you were
in it. We haven't been in touch much lately but her love for Jesus
always was obvious when she spoke. I know how she struggled, and
I feel some peace knowing that she isn't ever to struggle again.
I can't even imagine how wonderful it must be to be Sandra right
now. I regret that I am unable to meet you in person...just know
that I loved your sister and I'm celebrating her move HOME!
Your Sister in Christ,
Maureen McDonald

Dear Auntie Sandra, I miss you so much! Your phone calls, letters and cards is what I miss the most, for they were a constant reminder of how much you thought of me, and cared for me and my family. You will always hold that special place in my heart, because "I could search for all eternity long, and find, that there is none like you". We talked about Heaven all the time, and one bright morning, when my life is over, I too will fly away and meet you there. Until then, rest in peace dear auntie. Your sister Barbara meant the world to you. I could hear it in every single conversation you and I had. We will both miss you sorely, and our only comfort is that you are in a better place now. Special people live on in our thoughts and memories - long, long after they are gone - and you were very, very special to everyone who had the privilege of knowing you.
I love and miss you greatly, your niece throughout eternity,

Sandra,
I can truly say you taught me while you were here at Easton. I will think of you always with great fondest and respect. Life has many strange twists, but this one thing is for sure...a social worker is always a social worker, regardless of employment status.You had the heart of a social worker always.
