Sandra was a beloved wife, mother and proud grandmother. She was born in Guisborough, England and immigrated to the United States at 10 months old. She was an amazing student who met the love of her life, Amir, at age 19, building a beautiful family and a wonderful, loving home. She was very passionate about charity work and served as the family documentarian with her love of photography. Sandy wasn't born a Chaldean, but she embraced this culture naturally and with much love. She was always caring, always smiling, and she made everyone around her feel welcome.

Thank You and May God Bless You!

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
Thy Kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil;
for thine is the Kingdom and the Power,
and the Glory, now and forever.
Amen
