Sandra Lee Taylor
12-25-2018 We lost someone very special to us.
The woman who had thousands of stories(even secrets).
The woman who loved animals.
The woman who loved football.
The woman who loved dirt track racing.
The woman who loved the warmth of the sun.
The woman who loved gardening, especially weeding.
The woman who loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
The woman who we got annoyed with to do better than she did.
The woman who nagged at us to not follow the wrong stepping stones.
The woman who we avoided when she was complaining about Donald Trump.
The woman we should have said I Love You To.
The woman who had seemed immortal, even in her older age.
The woman we never valued enough when she was here.
The woman who is now gone.
The woman who we still can’t believe is gone.
IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
To be honest, I’m happy she led a good, comfortable life. Her death was quick, unexpected even. She was with her family and now she’s in the place where souls reside. She can truly be immortal, where she will watch over us (and probably curse us for being irresponsible brats) But the grief of losing someone forever, the regret, the guilt of not having treated them better-stays with us forever! So we are reminded of the temporality of it all! So we remember to say I Love You more! To spread happiness among the living. To spend more time loving and less time hating.
WE LOVE YOU MOM, GRAMS AND GREAT GRANDMA! We’re sorry we didn’t say it enough while you were still here. We’ll take this as yet another lesson-to improve ourselves, and make you proud!
WE LOVE YOU!

I will miss her warm smile, friendly welcome and sharing life with her. I will remember her always as a strong, no nonsense woman dedicated to her family she so greatly loved and was so proud of. For all of her beautiful family and circle of friends who loved her and will miss her always, I pray for peace and comfort in this dark time of loss.

You are my hero. I will miss you

I absolutely loved working with Sandy and eating lunch with her under the trees. She loves her horses and always made me think of my mother. Ride high Sandy.
Sandy was an amazing woman. Caring and compassionate yet tough as nails. We sat many times discussing life over many pots of coffee. She was there through some extremely rough times and always, ALWAYS had an ear to listen and my favorite of her advices…I hear that in my head and it makes me chuckle. She always made me feel at home, as does the entire family. I admire her in many ways and will definitely miss being able to sit and talk with her however I know she is still here with us in some way and she is probably up in heaven with Dolly, Sugar, Lucy and Cheyenne keeping a watch over everyone and keeping everyone safe. RIP Sandy! Your presence will me missed for a very long time! You were loved by many! To her family, she was proud of each and every one of you and loved you all so very much. I am so sorry for your loss!
I couldn’t believe that you left this world, you were such a lovely women and I’m honoured I got to meet you. My deepest condolences, may you rest in peace.
What a beautiful summary of what seemed a women who filled many shoes and in so many peoples lives. I did not know her.. but I pass on my condolences to Michelle and her entire family and to those who did know her as well. Xo
Michele, Troy, Rob I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I didn’t know Sandy very well but whenever I did see her she always had a smile on her face. She loved her Michigan sports teams, I think thanks to her kids. She always appeared to be at ease. And she had a way of making you feel that way too. I lost my mom at 9 years old so be glad that you had her so close to you all for such a long time, even until the end. Hang on to al those great memories that you all have with her. Heaven gained one of the good ones. Dave Dykstra
