Please allow me to express my deepest condolences for your family's loss. I hope that you will find comfort in the real hope that the Bible gives of being reunited with your loved one again. In the Bible at John 5:28, 29 it reads, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.". The Bible there promises that your loved one will come back to life again in the resurrection. (Acts 24:15) The Bible also promises that soon death will be no more. (Revelation 21:3, 4) I encourage you to visit JW.org for more information about this wonderful hope.

Please accept our condolences during this time of distress. While it is indeed sad that you are mourning the loss of your dear Sandra, it saddens God more. In the days ahead, you will reflect on seemingly small, yet precious memories. While doing so, take comfort in knowing that just as you have memories, our creator, almighty God remembers as well. But only He has the ability to restore perfect life on earth to those in His memory. Therefore, you can appreciate how the Bible further stress the fact in this video:

Ali and Dave, I am so sorry for your loss. We were only around Sandra a few times, but what few times we were around her she made a tremendous impact on both of us. You could just tell how kind and sweet of a person she was. I have fond memories of Sandra and Dave bringing Ali to Chincoteague to visit her friends and boy friend and talking to all of you about possibly buying a house on Chincoteague. Ali, you were extremely blessed with a wonderful mother and although it is sad to lose her it is great to know that she is in a better place and that you will get to see her again. Take care and we love you.

Mrs. Custis, Dave, Cindy, Tammy, Ali and family, words cannot express how sorry I am for your family's loss. As you all know well, Sandra was a very special lady, with a special gift that she imparted to so many kids over the years. Her passing has brought back many fond memories of our time at BA. Take comfort in knowing that she touched so many people so deeply and her memory will live with all of us forever. God bless,

I am so sorry to hear about Sandra's passing. I "observed" in Sandra's classroom years ago at Pungoteague Elementary School when I was in college. My memory of her was she would throw food/snacks out to the 1st graders if they answered questions correctly or spelled their words correctly before a spelling test. She loved her students! Keeping all of her family and friends in my thoughts and prayers!

May God comfort you and give peace to all of you. I have known the Custis family all my life and watched Sandra grow from a baby into a beautiful, loving, caring, and kind hearted woman. She probably did not realize that she was an inspiration for many women battling Cancer. She fought her battle with beauty and great strength.
My heart is heavy knowing her light here on earth has dimmed but pray you find comfort knowing she is now glowing brightly in heaven. I am thankful that she is no longer suffering and someday we will meet again. God Bless each of you during this sad time.

Dear Family,
Mrs. Millard was one of my favorite teachers at the former Machipongo Elementary School (in the 80's). I will never forget her smile and caring persona she had for her students. I pray that the peace and comfort of God will surround you all. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I do hope that you will find joy in the loving memories created with her.
Sincerely,

God has definitely pulled back one of his angels into his arms when he called Sandra back. Her love and compassion was genuine and we will miss her immensely. We send our love and prayers to all who grieve Sandra's loss.
