Sandra and I met in the 80s as neighbours in Shoeburyness, Essex. She was really friendly and we bonded very quickly, being the same age, with the same middle name and our birthday's only a day apart. Sandra was always upbeat, positive and a breath of fresh air. We had some fun times together before she moved from Essex but we kept in touch over the years and never missed birthdays or Christmas. I will treasure the memories and never forget her lovely smile and kind words for everyone. My thoughts are with Nigel and all her family and friends.
