Her memory will live on in her paintings I have on my walls. I always enjoyed our conversations. She was a friend to St. Luke Community Clinic and donated many of her paintings to help the clinic in their silent auctions. She will be missed.
Much love to her family.
The world will miss having Sandra Varney in it! She was so special…kind, loving, giving, and a wonderful friend. She came into my life at one of its darkest hours and became a source of joy for me to just be in her presence. I have a painting of hers that she named for my younger son. It holds a prominent place in my house, as well as my heart. Watch over us please, Sandra.
Condolences to the whole family, Mrs Varney was always very kind and thoughtful to me.
