Dear Auntie Josie and Family,

So very very sorry. In a family as large as this there are many of us who know very little of each other. I am so grateful that Reah and I connected – I will miss our conversations that were always without failure laced heavily in humor.

Rest well Reah – love to all the Sandmair family.

Rhea had always been my older sister in a sense. She had babysat me when I was young, guided me through those awful teenage years, she was always the women I wanted to be. Rhea was always so accepting, so understanding, supportive and amazingly trustful. Rhea will be deeply missed. Rhea will always have that part of my heart and character she helped to create. Love you Josie and my prayers are with the whole family.

Love you all

Dear Brenda, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Brenda I did not know your sister, only through your love and devotion to her. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Love Chris

To Rhea, peace and harmony to you on the other side. To Rhea’s family, peace and harmony to you on this side. Susan McGee.

Rhea was a lot of things to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons, but to me she was someone I cared about and could chat and laugh about anything. You will be missed Rhea. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Sandmaier family during this sorrowful time. Love Colleen, Ryan and Chad

Dear Family of Rhea,

Had a visit with Rhea on one of her

trips to the coast, a group of cousins went to the 4-Mile Pub for dinner, a small family reunion to treasure. Love to you all. Colleen

Dear Rhea, always a smile, a joke, a kind word for everyone. Your positive additude was so inspiring. You will be in our hearts forever. Our condolences to your family, our thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Rhea for over 30 years, lived with her in Toronto, she was my maid of honour at my wedding. Though I have not been in her life in the last couple of years except on an occasional visit I will always be glad that I went to see her near the end and her voice and spirit where the same old Rheee-rhee I will alway picture and remember. Josie my prayers and thoughts are with you. Shanon

Rhea will be missed, her larger than life personality, laughter, kindness, the absolutely sweetest cousin among so many. Rhea, though we saw her seldom was one that it was like only yesterday when we got together. We will miss her amazing smile. Our heartfelt sympathy to her family you are in our thoughts and hearts.

The wonderful “lady in pink” Dear Rhea, a courageous person who always had a positive attitude and out look on life no matter what challenge she faced. Her huge smile and sense of humour made her a joy to be with. You will be missed.
