Our condolences to Diane, Nicole and families on the passing of our special friend, Sandra.
Over the years we have created beautiful memories with Sandra and we learned Sandra is a woman to her word and dedicated friend. My daughter Gillian will miss Sandra’s friendship and Sandra always “looking out for Gillian” in every way, and more so should I not be visiting PVT. This special bond and sense of security will be totally missed by Gillian, though Sandra will continue to do so as our ANGEL.
FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGELS SANDRA. You are now at peace with your Mom and family.
Sandra, will always remain in our hearts
Love Rosina, Gillian – your PVT Family Special Friend and Sheila Critch, which we were honoured you called Mom.
