A Life Remembered

Every now and then you meet someone who stands out from others, making them memorable.

At our Wednesday Playgroup, one of the volunteers was such a person. On Thursday night we received the sad news that she had passed away after battling with cancer.

Now I can't actually say that I personally knew her very well other than to say hello to each week, but I had seen her often enough to take notice.

To those of us who weren't aware of her illness, you would never have known she was sick. She had such a cheerful disposition and was absolutely wonderful with the children. They were all "darlings" or "sweethearts", and she was more than willing to help both the kids and mums whenever she could.

It's people like Sandy who leave a lasting impact on all they come in contact with and I think her loss will be felt by all in our Playgroup.

How fantastic though that she will now be rejoicing in Heaven with her new body having a well deserved rest.

sorry. Even when you don't know people that well it can still be quite sad
