Here are Sandra's thoughts from her funeral program:
"I am thankful for "my turn on earth" and I have been greatly blessed. I have had what I wanted most in my life - a husband and children - and the Gospel to make this life meaningful The Gospel has been my strength during life's hard times. I am deeply thankful for it and Jesus Christ.
I am also grateful for the many friendships I have had and for the help many were to me. You have enriched my life and I was able to serve and be served. It has been a wonderful life with many contributing to making it so enjoyable. Sandra Hansen Van Dyke
