• Life will never be the same in Dominion City without you. I have wonderful memories that I will always cherish and you will always be remembered as a very loyal and generous friend.I always admired your amazing quick wit. Raising our girls together and Monday morning coffees were some of my most treasured memories.Her sayings,songs for showers, retirements, anniversaries were hilarious. Education and love of children were key in her life. Sincere sympathy to Len, Leah-Ann, Lenna and families. - Posted by: Shirley Berrington (Friend) on: Dec 08, 2012

• How does one pay tribute to a wonderful person like "Mrs. Schultz". She influenced my life in so many ways. I took so much of who she was and what she stood for and have continued to use it every day!. Heaven has a wonderful person who will definitely get them all organized, teach them the fine art of baking and make them laugh with her wit. Condolences to Len, Leah-Ann, Lenna and families. - Posted by: Ro-Jean Anstett (Friend) on: Dec 08, 2012

• I loved Sandy (or as we all called her, "Miss Ga-naz-ga-dowski". She taught me in elementary school and she was fascinating to watch and listen to. She had these wonderfully long painted fingernails and she would stroke a beauty mark on her face with them as she walked around the classroom. We couldn't take our eyes off her. On Mondays, just before lunch she would start a ghost story, and walk around the room, talking and stroking this mark on her face, and get us all totally enthralled, and would stop short of finishing the story and dismiss the class for lunch. She would keep this up all week long, and we looked so forawrd to her classes and she would finish the story on Fridays. It always amazed me that she made these stories up as she walked around. She had an amazing mind, and a wonderful sense of humor. No wonder she was such a great teacher. I consider myself very blessed to have known her. God's in his "happy place" with her there to tell her stories to him and the angels, and my mom, Georgina Taylor, who also loved her....My condolences to Len and family..She will be missed.

• GoodBye Schultz. I will never forget your words of wisdom around the table over coffee, on our long walks and in the hair salon. My kids treasure their cross stitched stockings you made and they remember sitting at the table with suckers doing their workbooks with you. They know your "get your papers first" mantra. Your sense of humour and wisdom will always be respected and remembered. We are so sorry for your loss Len, Leah-Ann and Lenna and family - Posted by: Sherry Johnston (Friend) on: Dec 05, 2012

• Mrs. Schultz is definitely one of those teachers who makes an impression on every student she came in contact with, whether in the classroom or just in the halls. She was one of my favourite ladies/role models growing up for sure. I will always remember the speech she gave at our Graduation and how honoured and special we all felt whe you told us you were planting a tree in front of the school in honour of our Grad Class! The world has lost a touch of class! My thoughts to Mr. Schultz, Leah-Ann, Lenna and your families. - Posted by: DeeDee Penner (nee Valdine Snydal) (former student) on: Dec 05, 2012

• I was so sorry to hear of Sandra's passing. Sandra was on the board when I was hired to teach music at RVS. She always believed in and supported me in my teaching career. Later she became my colleague and the staff room was never the same. Her quick wit as well as her poems written as "roasts" or rebuttals will never be forgotten. Above all, she loved children and put their welfare first. She also delighted in her grandchildren and we have had a great time sharing the "grandma" stories. She was definitely one of a kind! Our sympathies and prayers to you Len, Leah-Ann, Lenna and those precious grandchildren. I'm sure she filled their days with wonderful meteorites and dum-dums!! - Posted by: Wendi Neumann (Colleague) on: Dec 05, 2012

• We were very sad when we learned of Sandra's sudden death. She was a wonderful teacher, mentor, and most of all a great friend. Our years in Dominion City working and playing will always be cherished and Sandra will always be a part of our memories. Our sincerest sympathy to Len and his family.

• Sandra was a "very special" person! She lit the room wherever she was and her great sense of humour always put everything in proper perspective. Sandra was smart and had a great outlook on life. I am very fortunate to have gotten to know her. - Posted by: Luc Delaquis (fellow trustee) on: Dec 05, 2012

• I remember many times of laughter with Sandra as we raised our children as best friends. Times sitting in my car at Roseau Valley School will always remain dear to me. Dennis & I wish to send our condolences and prayers to Len & his family. At times like this it seems that words don't matter much, because it's true that there are things that words can never touch, but maybe it will help to know that those around you care, and if there's anything you need remember, we are there. - Posted by: Eva Macklem (friend & co-worker) on: Dec 05, 2012

• I was saddened deeply when I heard the news of Mrs Schultz's passing. So many wonderful memories will be cherished and remembered fondly. My thoughts and love go out to Mr Schultz, Leah-Ann, Lenna and family. - Posted by: Lori Grevstad (Macklem) (Former Student) on: Dec 05, 2012

• Mrs Schultz- I am so sorry to hear of your passing! I have very fond memories of time spent with Leah-Ann and your family. You were one of my favorite teachers and especially loved our Shakespeare movie days. However I am not quite sure what you were trying to tell us when you handed out "Dum-Dum" suckers so freely! You will be missed!!! Sincere sympathies to Mr Schultz, Leah-Ann, Lenna and their families! - Posted by: Sheri Martens (Student and friend) on: Dec 05, 2012

• Sandy will sadly be missed by all whose lives she touched. She was a remarkable, well respected lady. She was one of my favourite teachers as well as a dear family friend. I fondly remember the speech she gave at my wedding. Her words of wisdom and marital advice(spoken in a most comical way) will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathies to Len, Leah-Anne, Lenna and families. - Posted by: Sherri-lyn Sigurdson (French) (Friend) on: Dec 04, 2012

• Mrs Schultz was one of those people you never forget. Her sense of humour and laugh still bring a smile to my face even after all these years. A truly wonderful woman. My sympathy to Len, Lenna and Leah-Ann. - Posted by: Sean Grunewald () on: Dec 04, 2012

• Sandra was my Grade 3 teacher in Emerson. Even at that early an age, she had a significant influence on my life. She taught me to believe and always be the best you can be. We re-connected when I worked as Director of Care in Morris/Emerson Health Centers and Sandra was a Board member. Once again, her presence was a strong inspiration to me. When I married and moved from Emerson, Sandra authored a plaque that has always remained close at heart. She strongly advised the Board that they were never again to hire anyone married to a RCMP officer because they tended to move! She will always be remembered, and I am confident she has touched more lives than one will ever know. - Posted by: Pat Rodewald Cockburn (Former Student, Former Employee Morris/Emerson Health Centre) on: Dec 03, 2012

• I will always remember you for our friendly banters in RVS staffroom. For the kind words you spoke at my retirement. You will be missed. Sympathy to all your family. - Posted by: Clayton Pott (colleague) on: Dec 03, 2012

• I only met Sandy 2 or 3 times on my visits out to Winnipeg. The last time was this past Summer. I really enjoyed her wit and friendly manner. She was a lovely woman. Len and family I'm very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Judith Rae (friend of her niece Kathy Karleen) on: Dec 03, 2012

• Two things pop out about Sandra. Both families were having lunch at Sandra and Len's after Brianna's christening. As I sat there, I noticed a red light bulb attached by the patio door, inside the house. I asked what that was about. She tells me that they turn that light on to remind each other to let the cat back in the house! I'll always remember when she gave the toast to the bride at Jon and Lenna's wedding. She spun a tale of Lenna's upbringing, her quirks and such, all brought together in a way that absolutely had the guests astounded with her message and story. My wife and I still talk about that speech as the best one we've ever heard. Funny, gracious, and no beating around the bush with her. You will be missed. - Posted by: Darren Causon (Brother in Law) on: Dec 03, 2012

• I was on the Boundary School Board with Sandra for 7 years. She was a wonderful asset to the board. Her "word pictures" were a great attribute. The one that really sticks in my mine was "Mushrooms grow in the dark...not children". The context was putting windows in schools that had windowless classrooms. I remember she could walk into a classroom and there was just something about her manner that the children respected and listened to her! Goodbye Sandra...I think of you often and learned so much working with you. - Posted by: Cindy Smart (Fellow School Board Member) on: Dec 03, 2012

• Deepest Sympathy to Len and your family. So many memories. Judy Gilchrist - Posted by: Judy Gilchrist (Friend) on: Dec 03, 2012

• Good-bye Sandra. I will miss your quick wit. And I will always remember the day you fell into the flower bed. That brought laughter from all in the staffroom. You were a strong educator and had a passion for learning that you passed on to students and grandchildren. Coffee at the craft club during the summer with Nolan in tow will be fondly remebered. Sympathy to all the family at this sad time. - Posted by: Carla Van Rooy (Colleague) on: Dec 03, 2012
