Sandra HOULDER Obituary

It is so very hard to believe that we will never see your beautiful smile or hear you laugh ever again, you were one of this worlds truly beautiful souls, you were not only a loving, caring and understanding sister and sister in law and an awesome Aunty, but you were an amazing friend to so many of us. Not a single day goes by that we don't think of you in some way, so many things trigger such great memories. We miss the sound of your cheerful voice when we come to visit. All of the memories of time spent with you will be cherished so dearly for ever and ever. We love and miss you more than words can say. Fly high Beautiful Angel
Love always Mark, Mandy, Samantha, Daniel and Simon xxxxx

I miss you so so much my beautiful friend, Sandy, beautiful face, beautiful heart, beautiful soul, our friendship imprinted in my heart forever. Life is a journey, and yours was far too short, but I am so thankful that memories are forever. Love and miss you always, beautiful angel friend. Ros

A very tough year for Ian & your wonderful children, but you would be so proud. You have given them so many wonderful memories to carry in their hearts, to give them strength.
I think of you often, dear Sandra & it always puts a smile on my face. All those nights you & I danced & danced at the CBS nights out, until our feet ached. How you loved to dance :) Now a dancing Angel

Sandy I find it hard to believe that it is now more than a year since I last got to speak with you. I think of you and your family so often. I remember the first time we met and am so glad that we hit it off straight away - that led to wonderful memories of you. Still have photos in my phone that I come across when scrolling through looking for others. Always pause and have another look at your beautiful face. You would be very proud of Ian, James, Bridget and Liam.

We only met Sharon a couple of times but such a lovely lady wecouldnever forget her. Our love and prayers go out to you all. Auntie Eileen and Uncle Will

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen,unheard,but always near,
Still loved,still missed and very dear.
Love from Maureen Barrie & Family xxx

It's been a year now since I saw your smiling face for the last time yet the pain of losing you is as strong today as it was then. Nothing much has changed around here, your clothes are still handling in the wardrobe and fill the draws, your slippers still sit under the chair in the bedroom and all your jewlery and favourite nic nacs still adorn the dressing table. Your happy smile and infectious laughter still fill the air if only in our memories.
You will live forever in my heart, I will love you always, until we meet again in heaven or another life, goodbye my love, your ever loving husband Ian xxxxx

To share time with Sandra always left me with an uplifted and enriched warm feeling. Having known Sandra and Ian since we were teenagers, it has been a privilege to have been part of their lives. To share Ian and Sandra's courtship followed by their fabulous wedding, where we all celebrated their happiness with great enthusiasm was also a great pleasure. To share in their joy of James, Bridget and Liam was especially precious. And to share the anecdotes of our children and what they were up to was always a pleasure as we delighted in them. Sandra's unswerving patience, thoughtfulness and genuine belief in the good in all were an example of how we should all live our lives. Sandra's depth of her love for her family was known to everyone who met her as it was everything Sandra stood for. Sandra holds a very special place in all of our hearts which we will carry with us always. All our love Liane, Bob, Alexandra and Jack Leeming xxxox

Fly high my darling. Love you always, until we can be together again, you are always in my heart xxxxxxxx

Our darling sister, daughter-Inlaw and Aunty Sandra, we have been blessed to have shared in your love for us all.

We know that you are always with them, making sure they are OK, guiding them on the correct path in their life journeys. Our lives are richer because of you. You will always be in our hearts and never ever forgotten. May your beautiful angel wings soar high. Until my lovely we see each other again. We love you. Mum and dad Houlder, Sharon and Jonathan, Sam and Nicole and baby and Scott.

My dearest Sandra, it has been a year since you closed your beautiful eyes and took a piece of my heart with you as you opened your beautiful angel wings and went to heaven. Not a day goes past that I have not missed you. I love you with all my heart my lovely sister. Until we see each other again in heaven. I love you, Sharon xxxx

When our family moved to Melbourne in 1999 the Houlder Family were our first new friends. We met at James and Daniel's weekly soccer training sessions and games the boys formed a special friendship and then Liam and Casey became friends too. Sandra, you were someone we trusted with our precious sons and someone we knew loved them and cared for them when they were in your home, as if they were your own. Every time we think of you we see your smile, a happy face, a happy wife, mother and friend. We were blessed to have known you and our lives are enriched because of the footprints you left. We will remember you always. You will never be forgotten. Your beautiful children each shine because of you and in each of them, you are there.

Such a sad loss to all our family, thinking of you often. With much love from your cousin Audrey & family xx

To my most cherished friend,
You entered my life 27 years ago, and until this day I could not have imagined spending my life without you.
You have touched not only my life but my families lives and for that I am forever grateful.
You were my rock, my shoulder to cry on, and a friendship soul-mate whom i was able to look to in my happiest and darkest of times.
You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
Forever in our hearts. xoxo

Sunny personality
Amazing mind
Nesting for her family
Diplomacy came easy
Resting now
Absent but not forgotten

Tears still fall when we focus on the loss. Hearts feels fuller with her in mind.

For you Aunty Sandra thoughts of your precious face are remembered daily xo

Dear Sandra, I knew you for many years, but due to the distance between us, did not have many opportunities see each other. This made our meeting in Munich last summer so special and we are so pleased that we could enjoy this time with you. Thank you for spending time with us and we will miss you. With all our love Carol Günter and family

On your way through life sometimes you have the good fortune to meet some special people and Sandra was definitely someone special. Sandra and Ian I have considered to be part of the family from their teenage years. I have seen them both mature into the wonderful adults they became, and then producing their wonderful family. We have all been fortunate to have known Sandra and Ian has been blessed to have had her for a wife and the mother of his beautiful children, James, Bridget and Liam. We will never forget Sandra - she was one of those special people and we count ourselves lucky to have known and loved her. Lesley and Walter Berge.

We knew from family that you were a lovely person to know.
We only wished that we could have met you. God Bless Pete...Jackie UK..xxx

Miss you so much my beautiful, warm, funny, brave and loving friend, Sandy. What a precious soul and what a huge impact you made in my life and so many around you. Life is a journey, yours far too short, but memories are forever, and these are deeply imprinted within. Love you angel friend. Ros

Sandra, a beautiful young flower laid to rest for everyone she did her best.
To far away to hold her near, the pain became to much to bear. She slipped away in a very deep sleep but beautiful memories are ours to keep. God bless and love to all her family, lovingly remembered by Aunty Amy (Newby) and cousins Robert and Susan Newby and partners and families in New Zealand.

I feel so very blessed to have had you as my dearest friend and I miss you so much, I admire your amazing strength that never faulted through all that you went through.
Every time we spoke or met it was a time filled with fun and laughter and I will always treasure your beautiful smile.
Love you heaps Viv xx
