Service Information
We are one week away from Sandy's Celebration of Life service. Details can be found on this website: Cozine - Sandy Peer
Sandy's service is likely to be quite different than most, if not all, other services/funerals you have attended. Sandy wrote or at least strongly influenced the vast majority of what will be said; it is her final lesson plan, one she began preparing for each of you not long after her initial diagnosis five years ago.
The emphasis is on JOY, one of Sandy's favorite words. We are to remember God's goodness, celebrate His faithfulness, and leave inspired and encouraged to live life to the fullest, regardless of challenges that cross our paths.
Joy and grief can certainly coexist, as we are experiencing firsthand these days. So many things are different. Different isn't bad! But it can require some time to get used to.
We hope to see many of you next week!

Thank you
Thank you to everyone for praying and supporting our family. It is hard to know what to do at times like this, but you all are doing it!
We are now set for paper goods for quite awhile, which is wonderful! Our dishwashers (and the kids who often moan about being the dishwashers) can take a break! We can feel your love and are very grateful that God used Sandy's life to bless so many.
Many have asked about meals...between Rod's self-admitted "pickiness" with which foods he eats and the dietary restrictions many of the other family members work around, having meals brought in can be tricky. The last thing we want to do is seem ungrateful, so please understand that we absolutely appreciate the willingness to bring meals. Perhaps, instead, you could take a meal to someone who lives alone, or a family in need, and share with them something about Sandy that has been an encouragement to you. In that way, your act of kindness can create a ripple effect through the community.
Service information will be posted soon. It will be in August, so don't worry about finding details for this weekend or anything.
Please pray for safety as Katie and Eric and the kids drive home from Arizona, and especially for the kids as they process this significant loss. Grandma Sandy cannot be replaced. But her love can live on through each of us.

Request for pictures and stories
As we have been looking through Sandy's boxes of treasures from the last 30+ years, we have found countless cards, encouraging notes, words of thanks, and lists of people she was lifting up in prayer. Each semester she asked her students to write a math autobiography, detailing their history with math, concerns and hopes, expectations and attitudes. I think she kept every single one. We are not reading them, because they are personal, a trust her students put in her at the start of each class. I imagine each of you have stories and pictures, memories, inside jokes, and ways your life has changed as a result of your relationship with her.
If you would like to share those memories with us, we welcome any and all. There are two easy ways for you to send things our way. You can text (316)247-2139 or email sandy.k.peer@gmail.com - please be sure to include your full name and any contact information you'd like us to have with whatever you send either way.
Sandy continues to be unresponsive but comfortable. Visitors are still welcome to come.

Little change
Sandy continues to rest. She didn't open her eyes today at all, though people continued talking to her as though she can hear - and perhaps she can. She is still having morphine every 4 hours, still snoring from some mild sleep apnea, and still seems comfortable enough.
Visitors are still welcome, though if for any reason seeing her in her present condition is too difficult for you, please don't feel badly about it. There are ways to love and support Sandy besides visiting. Thanks for continued prayers.
