I will never forget the talks Sandra and I had early in my marriage. She was so loving and encouraging. She was married to my cousin, Pete. I was so happy to hear they were attending a holiday or gathering we Blankenships were having. I’m so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for peace for your family.

Pete & Sandra were one of our first & best friends in Gaylord,Mi. until their move back to Arkansas in the early 70's. We spent most weekends together playing cards,camping,and enjoying the outdoors. We visited them in Arkansas on several occasions. We traveled to Mexico together and once again had many good times. They will forever be in our memory and we are better people as a result.

Lucy and I were sad to hear of Cousin Sandra’s death. I have many childhood memories of time we spent with all the Holts in Lonoke and England. Sandra, indeed, was a kind, wise and caring woman. She will be remembered and missed by her wonderful kids and family as well as her countless friends. I know we have a loving and faithful God and that she claimed the promise of John 3:16 long ago. With love, Michael & Lucy Kuhn

I was a sorority sister of your mom’s, Sigma SigmaSigma while at ASTC, SCA, UCA. Sandra always had a smile on her face and was so sweet and kind to everyone. I visited with her at Elmcroft where we caught up over 50 yrs and it was just like no time had passed. She told me of her sons and grandkids and how proud of them all she was. I’m so sorry for her passing but happy that she is in the arms of our Lord and family who were there to greet her. Prayers for her family and Violets for Sandra’s pathway to heaven.
