C’est avec une grande tristesse que j’apprends la nouvelle du décès de Sandra. Elle était toujours discrète, résiliente et courageuse face à sa maladie. J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer Sandra à travers les années et de partager tant de merveilleux souvenirs avec elle, fête d’avant Noël, journée annuelle au chalet, et souper d’amies. J’étais toujours contente de jaser et adorait sa force et sa franchise. Je présente mes sincères condoléances à Mark, Jeremy et Alexa, qu'elle aimait tant et dont elle était si fière, une vraie bonne maman. Elle va sûrement veiller sur vous, d’un peu plus haut. Bon courage, Nadine
