“Sandra lived, always with the most beautiful smile, and acted on what brought her heart joy.
“She absolutely loved her husband Tyron, son Connor and daughter Allegra, with her whole being.
“Sandra was strong and graceful through her suffering and inspired us all.
“She took her last breath in her husband's arms, her favourite place in the whole world, and is now finally at peace.
“For those who have been blessed to know Sandra, have been touched by an Angel.
“Rest In Peace and enjoy your wings gorgeous girl.”
