I have not seen Sandy many times over the years. I will always remember her with that instant smile 😊 She was always there for any of my family losses.
So sorry for the loss of Sandy. She’s surely reaping her well deserved final reward in heaven with all her angels and favorite saints and old friends. May she RIP. We loved her. ST. Wm’s Parish is poorer without her activities and smiles.

Dear Ray,
Your wife had a heart of gold. She loved spending time in Adoration at Saint Williams. She always took time to pray for me and offered kind words to heal in a broken world.
Her spirit lives on and she will always be in my heart.
God Bless,

Sandy was my God mother and she introduced me to Jesus. I have fond memories of roller-skating in her finished cellar with Gina, listening to her on the guitar, swimming in her pool, playing Barbie’s in her shed to stay cool, and making crafts with scouts with her as the leader. She was an entrepreneur and ran her own cleaning business for many years supporting her three daughters independently for many years until she found Mr. Turcotte. I have the fondest memories and will continue to keep her spirit alive in my heart. It is interesting that she went to Jesus on the same day (different year) as my granddaughter. My heart pours with love to her family and all those who she contacted. My parents, Gertrude and Ed, we close to Sandy as they were close in age and Sandy welcomed my folks into the neighborhood. She was an angel in her own right. God Bless.
