Dearest Sandy,
I have many beautiful memories of you.
You have been a big part of our lives as we grew up.
You were such fun, so beautiful.
I have always admired you.
From Ilam rd to the Marlborough sounds and Blenheim..... so many fun times and laughs along the way.
Wish you could have been here longer to enjoy your well deserved retirement. It just isn't fair.
You are a beautiful person inside and out Sandy.
We will all miss you so much.
Love you always.

Her love of her baby girl - Frankie and for ever out pounding the pavement together, rain, hale or shine. I remember fondly the many fun occasions we have enjoyed a cheeky wine together, lots of laughs and chats.A very special lady who will be so missed by all. xx

My dear Sandy

Lynleigh and I were incredibly saddened by the news.

I had so much respect for your professionalism, skill and willingness to help me when I had cocked-up! And you did it with wit, grace and patience.

You were relentlessly positive and always happy to have a gossip about our crazy travel world.

The industry has so much to thank you for and will be all the poorer for your loss.

It was a privilege to know you.

You are now at Peace.
John and Lynleigh Ashcroft, Rangiora.
