Beautiful Ceremony

The funeral for Sandra Martin was held yesterday amongst the native bushland of Pinnaroo Crematorium. I think everyone there would agree that the light rain was a very calming and cleansing climate for the service where some masterful arranging and performances ensured that Sandy received the funeral that she would have been proud of. Our sincerest of thanks to the following people from all of Sandy's friends and family.
  • Phillip and the drivers from Simplicity Funerals,
  • Leanne for her calming and sincere celebrant skills,
  • Denise who managed to summarise a life full of never ending adventures,
  • Sandy's godmother Pattie and her son Peter with a wonderful poem so aligned with Sandy and her artwork,
  • Friend and surrogate family, Mil with her delightful description of such a lovely vessel,
  • John and Penny for taking time out of their busy schedule to play such wonderful music

and

all 160 wonderful people who took time out of their busy lives to come and see Sandy on her final big adventure.

She will be missed, however her spirit will never be far from all the people who have known her.
We thank you all.

All going well, we will be posing transcripts of the ceremony for those who could not be there.
