With deepest sympathy to Wayne, Kate and Julien, Sophie, Danielle and Brooke.
Sandra, it's hard to believe you are gone.
There are some people whose kindness leaves a lasting mark on everyone they meet, and you were one of those beautiful souls.
Your warmth, compassion, and gentle nature made the world a brighter place, and your memory will continue to live on in the hearts of so many.
The world has lost a truly beautiful soul and the night sky has gained one of the brightest stars.
Thank you, Sandra for your friendship, your laughter, your long chats in the supermarket and the love and kindness you gave so freely. I will forever cherish the memories that we shared.
Rest Peacefully.
Love

Sandra, Who would have thought that the day you walked into Kinder all those years ago would be the beginning of such a great friendship?
We shared many fun and unforgettable years working alongside each other. There was never a dull moment. You were a natural in early childhood and a truly special person who always put others before yourself. You would do absolutely anything for anyone without ever expecting anything in return.
You were one of the most caring, loyal, kind and selfless people, who loved a chat more than anything. I'll miss your early morning messages, your thoughtful check-ins, and our coffee dates.
My heartfelt sympathy goes to Wayne, Kate, Sophie, Danielle, Brooke, and your extended family. You loved them all beyond words.
Rest peacefully, Sandra. You will be forever missed.

Dear Wayne and girls, Bruce and Di and extended family and friends
I first met Sandra at Toyota when getting her car serviced, we quickly became friends because she was so lovely and we just got along.
We always enjoyed a laugh, cricket catchup on Sophie’s games and the kilometres she covered being an amazing supportive sports mum.
I was so shocked with the saddest news of the tragic accident that took her away from everyone that loved her so dearly .
Rest easy Sandra .. deeply missedLynette xx

Sending our heartfelt condolences to Sandra's family at this devastating time. I still can't believe that we will not get to see the loving friendly smile that Sandra wore everytime I walked through the door. The friendly face that we all loved to see in the office. The many words of encouragement and a kindness that is not seen often enough.
You will be sadly missed Sandra. Rest peacefully, until we meet again.

Sandra, I still can't believe you're gone. My heart is absolutely broken.
You were one of a kind, one of the rare people who quietly made everyone else's day brighter simply by being you. The kindness, compassion & happiness you shared with everyone around you is a beautiful legacy that will never be forgotten.
I'll always be so grateful for the kindness, patience & support you showed me. You took me under your wing, taught me so much & always believed in me.
The world has lost one of the kindest souls & it feels a little less bright without you in it.
Thank you Sandra, for your friendship, your wisdom, your laughs, and your unwavering kindness. Thank you for helping me more than you'll ever know. I'll miss you every single day xo

My deepest condolences to all of Sandra's family and friends. i was very shocked and saddened to hear of this tragic and devastating loss. She was far too young and I am sure so very much loved by many.
I was a Primary School friend of Sandra's at Beeac P.S. and early High School at Trinity, when we both moved to the town at similar times. She was a happy, kind and friendly girl who I remember loved animals and babies. Though I haven't seen her in many years I have lots of good memories of those times many years ago, particularly at Primary School. We had lots of sleepovers and I remember Sandra helping me be brave around her much loved pet cow! And always having a smile on her face!
I am so very sorry this has happened to her and to her family for their loss.
My father, Lou taught her in Grade 4 and was the school principal at the time and also sends his cndolences to all of Sandra's family.
Sending sincere and heartfelt sympathy to all.
Rest peacefully Sandra.Kylie (Verberne)

My deepest sympathy to all Sandra’s much loved family. Sandra was incredibly proud of you all. A dear friend and work colleague throughout her years working in early childhood. The children, families and educators you worked with are truly blessed to have been nurtured and cared for by you. Always ready with a cuppa. I will forever cherish our countdowns to Christmas. Each year starting the countdown for the next year on Boxing Day. 💕.

Sandra, what an incredible woman for the world, our community and your family to have lost 💔
