Sandie Bricker |
Our hearts are saddened this weekend. As many of you know,
the writing community lost a beloved friend, editor, and writer Saturday when Sandie Bricker
graduated to heaven.
Sandie was our dear friend here at Seriously Write. She
contributed regularly, on the first Monday of the month, encouraging and
coaching writers. Many of your hostesses here also knew her as a friend. She is
already sorely missed.
I first learned of Sandie when her 2009 book came out with
Summerside Press: Love Finds You in Snowball,
Arkansas. What an enjoyable and humorous story. Soon after I read, we
connected online. Then, I met her in person at an ACFW conference. She was a
delightful friend and most recently, a source of personal inspiration to me.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with Sandie’s family
and friends at this time.
Grief is a heavy burden. But it’s made lighter by the love
and support of many friends together. I invite you, our readers and friends, to
share your thoughts and memories here as we celebrate Sandie’s home-going and hold
each other up. Do you have special memories of Sandie you’d like to share?
Please do so below.
