Dear Whittaker Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I knew Mrs. Whittaker from Kara and Matt(Kara and I are very close friends from college). Mrs. Whittaker was kind and gentle. She was like a second Mom to Kara. Kara would tell me how she would always ask about her college friends and families. She was certainly loving and caring. May you all find comfort in all the wonderful memories.
Sandy was a joy to be with and a bright star of the BWC quilting group. She was loved by all and her sweet presence will be greatly missed..

My nana would want her memory to be nothing but joyful. While this passing is extremely hard and heartbreaking, she would want nothing more than to be celebrated. I think if everyone could learn something from her it’s to live life to the fullest, forgive all and be kind to everyone. I will spend the rest of my life trying to be like her. To all affected by this loss, I wish you peace in knowing that she spent up until her last minute doing what she loved with who she loved. She will be greatly missed
Mike, Mark, Matt and families,
Our family is so very sorry for the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Your mom was very special.
With love,
The Leach Family
A mother is a friend, a mentor, a care taker, and coach. A mother is patient, is kind and warm hearted. A mother guides her children and spoils her grandchildren. A mother has endless love and compassion. She sacrifices for her family and never misses a child’s event. A mother is a cheerleader who never stops cheering others forward. Though she is no longer physically with us, a mother is FOREVER.
Much love to all your family. Sandy was a joy to know, a wonderful caring friend. We will miss her so much.
