Sandy Davis - Memorial Tribute by John Davis
Father God, I am so, so thankful for having Sandy in my life. Fifty-five years is an impressive legacy. I have been blessed to be her husband and partner. How lucky I am. We made our partnership when I was barely eighteen, and she was seventeen for another six months. By any measure other than our love, we were too young. Despite the unlikely odds facing such a young couple, our partnership has borne three bright, kind, loving children, and six bright, kind, loving grandchildren. How can I be sad?
Sandy has been a faithful, loving work-mate to me. I avoid the overused “soul mate” and “best friend” descriptors. Best friends still fight. Soul mates still fall out of love and get divorced. I was an imperfect husband. We viewed the world with vastly different eyes and formed very different conclusions. But we were deeply in love. I intended to tell her every day that I loved her. I had read that unvoiced love atrophies. Don’t risk it. You tell your spouse every day, “I love you. You make me so lucky.” And hug. And kiss. And tell them again. Sandy has cared for me through health issues as recently as 2018. I will resist my impulse to pull up my shirt and display my proud scar from last year’s aortic valve replacement. Many here can confirm my doing that very thing. Sandy would say, “Oh, John! Not again!” I am thankful she cultivated in me a love of and a thirst for travel. She endorsed the statement, “There is no greater teacher than travel.” She infected me with the wonderful travel bug. As we added years to our marriage, we had the chance to add our 49th state, Alaska, in our 49th anniversary year; and our 50th state, Hawaii, in our 50th anniversary year. We knew we were lucky. We loved our great Alaskan cruise, and a month on Hawaii’s Big Island.
We have visited every Canadian province on the first tier of our northern border. We have visited three states in Mexico. We made wonderful memories that will bless my life and give me comfort. Sandy was an eager co-traveler to any audit location in Europe. We visited London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Frankfort, Lisbon, Milan and other great European cities. We loved each location. I remember specifically the beautiful Jacaranda trees with purple blossoms in Portugal; the great drives along the Rhine River in Germany; and frequent weekend visits to Rothenberg-ob-du-Tauber...an old 9th century walled city on the Germanic trade route. We remember walking “La Rambla” down to the port in Barcelona. Sandy was loving and caring to everyone she met. Her grace and dignity were constant, as was her beauty. There is no greater proof of how lucky I am in life than Sandy. Her poise and beauty were a needed offset to my roughness and frequent crudeness. Thank you, Father God, for blessing me with so much love and so many memories. They will help sustain me as I try to regain emotional stability after my horrible loss. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
