Dean,
Pearl and I knew you and Sandy in Fairfield, CA. We were good friends of the Redds and were happy when you met and married Sandy. I always admired your background and entry in medicine. I have heard bits and pieces about you the past 30 plus years. We send our condolences and wish you the best.

Dear Dean:

Pat and I read with sadness Sandy's obituary in the Salt Lake Tribune today. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. We were with you on Lil Shepherd's Iceland Tour in 2004 and enjoyed our association with you and Sandra at that time. It was wonderful to be with, not only good Icelanders but, good people. You are the salt of the earth.

The Lord be with you in your loss.
The Lord comfort you in your sorrow.
The Lord remember you in your needs in this time of trial.
The Lord be with you this day and always

Brother Bristow,
Such mixed emotions as we think of Sandy's passing. We are so excited for her and so sad for you and your family. We are out of town and so will not be able to attend the funeral, but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sandy was one of the first people we met when we moved into the ward. I couldn't seem to remember her name but I was so drawn to her. She was always so kind and forgiving of me. I always had a special place in my heart for her.You are in our hearts and our prayers. Love, the Roquemores

Dear Bristow Family,
I feel so honored that I was able to rub shoulders with your wonderful wife, mother, and sister as we traveled through Iceland. Her sweet spirit was such a blessing every morning as our group prepared for the day and it was delightful to watch her excitement as she toured the homeland of her heritage. I pray that your family will be blessed with the comfort and joy the gospel brings us when it's time to give our earthly good-byes. Always remember you will be with her again and she'll always be near you until that time.

Blessings always!
