Sandy became my friend when we worked together. She was one of the gentlest, kindest people I knew. Sandy always made time for people she was an exceptional listener but she loved to have fun and we laughed a lot. Sandy and I became such good friends as we both shared a great love for our families. I know she was extremely proud of hers, especially her grandchildren, but her interest in my family shone through too. Sandy was always keen to hear about my son and daughter, as is Bobby. Sandy saw me through my son's University days and my daughter's teenager years!! We also shared a love of photography and only this week when my cheery tree was blossoming I realised my lovely friend wasn't here for me to share my photos with as I did last year, nor the robin who has visited us everyday, I know she would have enjoyed seeing them. My heart goes out to Bobby, Elaine, Karen and their families, such a big loss for you all. Sandy was greatly thought of by many at NCI and she will be very much missed. Rest in peace my lovely friend, much love Jane, Graeme, Tom Rosie and Jake xxxxx
