I was very saddened to hear about her passing. Ms. Guegel, as I knew her, was such a wonderful person. I had the privilege of being one of her students for 2 years and although she could be hard at times, she also showed me patience and care. Because of her love for teaching she made a difference in so many of her students lives. I was not able to keep in touch with her unfortunately, but in prayer I thank her for her kind words to me during my years in her English class. My condolences to her family.
sandra was a lovely person inside and out…she loved her family and friends so much…she cared about her students and kept in touch with those who kept in touch with her…thankfully, i was able to get back in touch with her and we spent many fun-filled times together at one of her favorite places (mine too)…i’ll miss her so much…as her cousin holly put it so well sandra left us the gift of having introduced us to each other…until we meet again sandy…my deepest sympathies to her family
Michele still has the dog you made her and her son Blake loves it too. We will miss your Christmas letters. Enjoy your new life.
She will be missed. But wonderful, fun memories of “mother” Guegel live on.
Sadly due to illness at home, I will miss the funeral, but a donation in her memory is on the way to the food Pantry. Rich
