Your mother will be greatly missed; may you be comforted by your many memories of her and with her.
I will miss our times spent together. Whether it be decorating the Lobby for a holiday or gossiping on the balcony.
Thoughtful, kind, sassy with a great smile. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Thank you for the wonderful memories Sandy.
You taught me about plants when we first moved to Cathcart Street. We laughed about the effort I made to save a scrub tree. You picked up and disposed of the dead possum baby that I found in our back yard when I was afraid to touch it.
You gave our dog Keith his first Christmas present and treated him and Collin to love and treats each time you walked past our house. I remember the love and pride you had for your dog Jubilee and hope you are able to reunite with all of your canine best friends.
We are grateful to have shared many years as your neighbour.
You were loved and appreciated.

I was very sorry to hear of Sandy passing. My mother amd sister knew her well. Donna and Sue. I will miss hearing my talk about their time together.
Your mother talked about her “boys” often in our card class on Monday mornings. We all loved her feisty nature and her special T-shirts from her sons. We shall miss her, but like you, we will hold our fond memories of her in our hearts, and recall them at will. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom, Mark and David. I am going to miss Sandy, my wacky and wonderful next door neighbour. We shared recipes, cookies, squares and other treats and I soaked up all her gardening tips. She talked about her two wonderful sons a lot and shared stories of some of their adventures. Lou Lou and Sandy took great care of my furry roommate Gizmo. Gizmo loved it when Sandy and Lou Lou took care of him when I travelled, for they spoiled him rotten. This floor won’t be the same without you Sandy and I am sure you are already stirring up things , up in the great beyond!!
Sandy was one of the most genuine people I knew. She said it as it was, regardless of who it was to or what it was about. She was abundantly kind and thoughtful. Beneath her gruff exterior was a heart of gold. I will miss Sandy, her tales of the neighbourhood and Lou Lou, the exploits of her boys and her ‘colourful’ (ahem) tee shirts!
Sandy was a great neighbour and will be dearly missed by the Fletchers: Steve, Gail, Ben and Iris. When we moved onto the street, Sandy showed us great kindness, generosity, selflessness and a hearty dose of great stories, laughter and a wicked sense of humour. The many years of support, birthday cookies and dog walks will remain in our memories forever.
Our sincere condolences to Mark and David and the rest of Sandy’s clan.
I met Sandy when I was new to London joined card classes. We had many conversations about anything and everything. She was a kindred soul to me with our love for dogs but she had me beat with her t-shirts sayings. She had a heart of gold and accepted me into her circle. She will be missed greatly by all.
Sandy will be missed by many. Sandy and I knew each other for 30 years. What started as her being a client turned into a long time friendshop and confidant. My Tuesday mornings will be empty with out her. She loved her boys her pets, her neighbors and people in the neighbourhood. With a quick wit, wonderful sense of humor, you could trust Sandy to help you with anything. I thank you for letting me know you. may you rest in peace my friend and forever be on our hearts..Thinking of you always. Sue
My sincere condolences for the loss of your mom.
Sandy will be fondly remembered by so many. She was an icon in the building and neighborhood. I am blessed that we were neighbors first and fast became friends. RIP our dear angel. Will miss you
My deepest condolences to Sandy’s family and friends. I joined the card class a few years ago and knew I was ‘finally accepted’ when I was included in the quips Sandy threw around to the various members of the Monday morning group. A colourful yet kind woman with her t-shirts which often conveyed her thoughts for the day …. She had a big heart and our class will not be the same without her. My husband, later in the day, would ask how class was and more often than not, my answer would include a story about Sandy. Gone too soon but she will not be forgotten.
I didn’t know Sandy for years and met her at our T’ai Chi classes. We always had a few laughs prior to class and she always gave me confidence when practicing. Keep up with the practice and the laughs on your new adventure.
Sandy and I have been friends for nearly 40 years. In fact, I am honored that Sandy considered me her best friend.
We have had many many good times together **
We were escorted out of Provincial court division of traffic by 2 burly police office
Asked to settle down from laughing at the Mammography department at St. Joe’s hospital.
Shushed at the Worley Road public library.
Elbowed at church to stop laughing at a funeral.
Asked to stop talking at Aqua fit class at the YMCA. Any many more adventures together.
We just enjoyed each other’s company.
I could see well behind Sandy’s crusty facade.
She showed me how to bury a pet in the backyard. How to grow flowers of various types and introduced me to her favorite flower…the Gerbera Daisey.
Sandy never grew vegetables because she never enjoyed eating them.
I moved from London 23 years ago to Lindsay Ontario. Sandy helped me move.
I was worried about leaving Sandy behind but I needn’t have worried. Sandy has many good friends in her apartment building and neighborhood…both human and otherwise.
Sandy introduced me to Bruce, whom I later married. Sandy was my Matron of Honour.
I will never forget you Sandy. You live in my heart.
Cathy
My sincerest condolences to Mark and David and family.
I met Sandy (and Lou Lou) just after the “pandemic” hit. I found myself moving into an apartment across the hall from her at a difficult time in my life. She came knocking on my door mask and all, with cookies and dog treats, to welcome me and my big mastiff Cora to the neighborhood and building. She was quick to introduce me to other long time building residents and Cathcart street dwellers! For the next three years we went on to share tea, recipes, books, walks, treats, advice, life stories and the occasional glass of wine. She always had a key to my apartment as she had my 120 lb Cora girl wrapped around her finger. Like many others I have several of Sandy’s cards tucked away that she gifted me, and feel tickled to have contributed to her t-shirt collection so fondly remembered. I moved away almost 2 years ago only to just recently return to London. I was looking forward to meeting up again when I received a phone call this past week of the news. I know Sandy’s legacy of love, kindness, and humor will carry on through the stories shared. My deepest condolences to her family and all who loved her.
So sorry for your loss of your Mom. I will hold fond memories of her from card making class
I am late in discovering this very sad news, and heartbroken. We intentionally built our fence facing Dunkirk Park only five feet so we could still see and talk to Sandy and Lulu when they passed. I only wish I had known so that I could pay tribute at her service. Sandy, you were a joy to know and a bright light in our neighbourhood. Rest peacefully friend, and know that your neighbourhood family will always be there to lend a hand in Lou Lou’s care if needed.
Sandy was a kind, compassionate lady. I met Sandy at the YMCA many years ago. Sandy had the best sense of humour and had the best tshirts. Sandy always had an open house for her birthday with all her friends in the social circles she was in. It was an honour to know you, Sandy.
