I never had the honour to meet Sandra - however, I felt like I knew her from how much Matthew would speak of her. She and I would have been bosom buddies! What an incredibly rich and rewarding life she led with Matthew by her side. A life well lived and loved. My deepest condolences to Matthew and family and friends. Her legacy will live on. Hugs to everyone.

Though I never had the privilege of meeting you, I have heard beautiful things about you through conversations with Matthew. The way he spoke so highly of you with love, respect and admiration made it clear how extraordinary you were.
My heartfelt condoleances to Matthew, as well as to family and friends.

Although I never had the privilege of meeting you, from the conversations I’ve shared with Matthew, it’s clear that you were a truly remarkable woman... so bright, courageous, and very inspiring.
Matthew always spoke so highly of you, with such warmth and respect, and it was easy to see how much you meant to him.
My heart goes out to your family, friends, and to our wonderful colleague Matthew during this difficult time.
Sending my deepest condolences. <3

As a child, Sandra and I hung out at times; we went to movies together, went for food etc.. We saw each other mostly at Christmas when family would get together on Christmas Eve at our Grandparents house in Burnaby and we would watch our grandparents open gifts and have a Blackstock Family Christmas dinner together.. I remember her as being kind and sweet. We lost touch after awhile as we got older and life became busy. Sandra moved away on to bigger and better things. I would always refer to Sandra as a "Professional Student" as she was always in school. She was brilliant ! I often thought of her and Susan and hoped they were both doing well. My dad and her mother were siblings
Rest in Peace Sandra

I was sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing. My sincere condolences to Matthew and family. I knew Sandra as a colleague and friend, but lost touch with her and Matthew since my retirement. She was a wonderful, kind and considerate person who brought a high degree of professionalism to any position she occupied. As others have stated, the obituary covers her contributions quite well. She will be missed, but not forgotten.

We never had the chance to meet, yet the stories that Matthew shared about you, your intelligence, strength and courage were truly inspirational. May your light shine forever and your kind eyes continue to shine.

Sandra and I worked together for only a short time. But she bought, grace, charm and wisdom to every meeting we had. And frequently a cheeky smile! She will be missed.

I was saddened to learn of Sandra’s passing. I knew her at a distance as a colleague from the time of her appointment in psychology at Grenfell, but I probably saw more of her after I retired, walking the Corner Brook Stream Trails with her dog Moose. At that time, I was walking our beautiful golden lab / husky mix, an athletic but emotionally fragile dog named Sam, who suffered from serious anxiety disorder. It was always a treat to cross paths with Sandra and Moose because they had a way of calming Sam down. That was it really. We would chat for a few minutes before going on our ways. I knew Sandra was a dedicated teacher and researcher, and, in time, became one of those unusual administrators whose ambition is primarily to serve. What I appreciated, however, was her reserved but warm and humorous manner during our encounters on the trails. Five or six months ago she made her way across a crowded atrium at Grenfell to say hello, and I found myself unexpectedly moved by this. I could see she had been sick. I asked her about Moose and she told me that sadly he had died. She already knew Sam had died some years before. It is, I suppose, an unremarkable memory, but I know it will stay in my mind as long as I can call one my own.

Sandra, I didn't know you well, but when I needed someone to answer my questions, your door was always open. You greeted me with a pleasant smile and took the time to listen. Thank you for being there and for supporting me. I am deeply saddened by your passing, but I know the angels have you now. RIP, your kind words and pleasant smile will always be remembered.
My deepest condolences to her husband, Matthew and her family.

Matthew and family
Clearly the obituary for your beloved Sandra describes a life --well lived -indeed -on many levels -
On all levels of her life she was a leader -possessed of academic brilliance she had an outstanding teaching career .
When a person passes at a relatively young age - we are saddened of course -however we do believe that in her shortened time --Sandra accomplished much and leaves an enduring legacy .
Sincere condolences to Matthew and all who mourn her passing
May her eternal rest be in peace -
Godspeed Sandra

Sending my deepest condolences to Matthew, and all of Sandra's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Sandra this past year while she was Interim Dean for the School of Arts and Social Sciences. Or as we call it, SASS. She was incredibly kind, fair, and patient. We learned that we shared a Birthday just days before the actual date and had a good laugh as we both like to keep those things on the downlow. Well, that particular Birthday was celebrated with balloons, flowers and some treats. I will always cherish that memory.

I'm very very sorry to hear of Sandra's passing. She was truly devoted to Grenfell Campus and was a hard-working, intelligent, and fair dean. I used to like to chatting with her when she was taking Moose for a walk. The obituary to her does her justice. It's true, she accomplished a great deal in her life and she did have a big beautiful laugh. She'll be much missed and I wish you all the strength as you navigate this difficult time.
