Sincere condolences to Peter and family. I have fond memories of the caring attitude Sandy always had, and I remember the fun we had competing in the Eltham CGC debating team over 53 years ago. My thoughts are with you all. Kind regards Hugh and Ruth McKenzie (nee Sulzberger)

Ruth McKenzie

Our dear Aunty Sandy We love you and have so many treasured memories of staying with you at the farm when we were kids. We loved feeding the lambs, riding on the Land Rover, and playing with our barbie dolls that you handmade all those clothes for. You were a treasure of an aunty and Sarah and Loren and I will never forget your warmth and kindness. Our kids will be wearing your beautiful knitting for years. Love to your family forever and always.
