    Dearest Sandra, our last girls night dinner together was barely a week before you were so tragically released to the stars. We talked about your trip to Australia, your surprise new love in Tasmania and your fierce pride and intense love for Sean and Cameron. I loved having you as a tenant in Christchurch. Your laughter, intelligence and humanity will stay with your friends forever. Our deepest deepest condolences to Sean and Cameron and all those who treasured Sandra, Her friendship was a gift taken too soon
