In Loving Memory of

Sandra Lee Hanson

July 23, 1955 - November 13, 2019

Remember me with love and joy,

Let gratitude fill your heart.

Thankful for the time we had,

Gone…yet not apart.

If we measured life in moments,

Not in months or years,

I lived a hundred lifetimes,

Loved by all who hold me dear.
