I remember attending Sunday School, Church, and Vacation Bible School with Sandra at Phillips Temple. She was always smiling and so much fun to be around. We even shared the same birth month and year. She was 5 days older than me. I am so sorry to hear about her transition. She will definitely be missed. Offering condolences to the Family.
