In Sandy's 66 years, she made a difference in many, many lives, especially all the children she taught at school and church. Always sweet and kind. I will be reminded to pray often as Sandy and her family come to my mind.

Sandy was both of my children's kindergarten teacher and she was amazing! Thanks to her, we have numerous videos and other memorabilia from their first year of school. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gaylene, Mindy, Brandon, Speedy and the rest of the family.

Sandy was a great uplifter and supporter of the Pocola community and school. She always had a ready smile and lots of love to give. We knew her through her tireless efforts on the behalf of our children teaching and coaching. She will be missed so much by everyone. We are blessed to have known her. Prayers for you all. In sadness, the Joe and Shirley Richison family.

I knew Sandy from childhood. I know that God has His timing and it's not for us to understand. But this is going to be a loss that will be felt by many. Prayers for her family and friends. Sharon Hines (daughter of Gene and Lela Smith)

I was so sad to hear about Mrs. Wilson. I remember when she first came to teach at Pocola. She was quickly a favorite among us elementary students. I hope in this time of great sorrow that you are all comforted by the Bible promise of a resurrection (Acts 24:15) and the hope of a world with no sorrow or dying (Revelation 21:3,4)
