Saddened by the loss of Sandy who was a high school classmate at TJ in Dallas, TX. May your memories of her love of family bring comfort now and lasting joy in the time ahead.
Sandy was one of my best friends At Thomas Jefferson high school and we lived close in the same neighborhood in Farmers Branch. We sang in the choir together and just recently I found photos of us in the King and I production. Over the years we have called each other and kept in contact. I visited with her and Bobby a few years ago in their lovely home. I will miss her. She was always a great friend and lovely lady.
My heart is aching right now. Sandy was a dear friend and I
loved her dearly. Sandy worked with me for several years at Mercedes Homes. I met Sandy and Bobby when they purchased a Mercedes Home from me in Frisco, Texas. Sandy walked into my office one day and told me that she wanted to work for me and the rest of history. Sandy traveled with me at work and we became extremely close. She will be missed and my prayers go out to Bobby and Family.
My deepest sympathy.

I remember Sandra from choir and other classes at Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas. She always had such a beautiful smile. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved and knew her.
I remember so many great times with Sandy and the family. We worked so many years together at Deere, car pooling, being neighbors and just good friends. Sandy was such a sweet person with a calming nature. My heart goes out to you Bobby, DeDe and Kim and all your family for your loss. Sandy will surely be missed.
So sad to know of the passing of Sandra. She was a good friend in high school many years ago! I’ve always wondered if her husband was related to my family, in Corsicana, Texas, as my maiden name was Dickson. Prayers to her family for the loss they are experiencing.
