THE PASSING OF SANDIE MEYER, THE WIFE OF BR. VANCE MEYER

It is with great regret that I share this message with The Brotherhood of Phi Delta Psi.

"My mother, Evon Sandra "Sandie" Meyer, passed away this past Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 1:48 am. She lived a very full life, surrounded by family and friends that loved and continue to love her very much. Unfortunately, she suffered through many years of pain and complicated illnesses and finally her body just couldn't fight anymore. Our family has been so grateful for the love and support my mom and we have all received over the years, especially these past few weeks.
 Mom passed away pain-free and at peace, knowing that she was deeply loved. In celebration of her life, we will be having a memorial service and reception in her honor on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 2:00pm at Palisades Lutheran Church located 15905 Sunset Boulevard, Pacific Palisades.
In lieu of flowers, our family would prefer that contributions be made in her honor to: Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center Circle of Friends, Cedars-Sinai 8700 Beverly Boulevard, Suite 2416 Los Angeles, CA. 90048
Phone: (877) 427-2443   Please make checks payable to: Cedars-Sinai.
Please feel free to forward the above information to friends we may have accidentally missed or do not have their email addresses.
On behalf of my dad, Vance Meyer, my sister, Wendy Meyer Schochet and myself, thank you for your support during this difficult time. Fondly, Stacy Meyer Watkins"
