Vandra and my husband and I got to know Vandra thru emails from your neighbour and her sister Karen. Our church and myself had been praying for her. Our daughter had premee twins at the time your premee was born and Vandra was always so interested
in them despite her pain. How I wish I could have met her in person. Her compassion and Christian love and caring affected me greatly. Our love and sympathy to all your family. We will continue to pray for you Alban and for your family.
Met VANDRA when we worked at the BAC – many happy memories of that time and later with our families. So sorry Alban, your wife, Daryl and Fenton your mother, was a wonderful friend to me and loved you all so much – she will never be forgotten. Eileen
Alban, Fenton, Daryl and families. Our sincerest condolences on the passing of a woman who fought so hard. She shared with me many times her arduous struggle to stay here for awhile longer so she could still be with her family, but alas, her time here on earth was to be no longer. She is finally free! Free of pain and suffering and enjoying her eternal home! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time..
We have so many special memories of dear Vandra, including such a wonderful time together with Alban in the Rocky Mountains. She is our loss and heaven’s gain. Her courage in the face of suffering amazed us but her strong faith and trust in our Saviour always shone through. Until we meet again in glory we will treasure the beauty that is and always will be Vandra. Our love and prayers to Alban, Daryl, Sue, Fenton, Rena, Natahsa, Alura and all the family
