Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.
In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.
Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.
There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.
Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together

In loving memory of...
Marion Sandefur "Sandy" Wallace, affectionately known as "Sandy," left this world on July 31, 2025, in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 71. Born on June 14, 1954, in Owensboro, Kentucky, Sandy was the cherished daughter of the late Russell Marion Wallace and Pauline Imogene Sandefur Wallace.

Sandy's journey took her from the serene landscapes of Horse Branch to a fulfilling career as an accounting clerk in various banks throughout Kentucky. Her dedication to her profession was matched only by her unwavering love for family. In a testament to her devotion, she returned to Ohio County to care for her aging parents, during which time she and her mother shared countless adventures, traveling to awe-inspiring locations like Nova Scotia, London, Paris, and Scotland, creating cherished memories along the way.

She is survived by her brother, Tim Wallace of Detroit, Michigan, as well as beloved relatives, including her aunt Jonell Patterson of Olaton and uncle Sam Wallace of Owensboro, alongside numerous cousins who will miss her dearly.

In accordance with Sandy's wishes, her family has honored her request for cremation. Plans for a gathering to celebrate her life will be scheduled in September. Those who knew and loved Sandy are invited to come together to share memories, reflect on her vibrant spirit, and embrace the love she brought into our lives.

Condolences may be left for the family at www.hartfordfh.com. Sandy's legacy will continue to shine through the hearts of all who loved her, a gentle reminder of the kindness and joy she shared so freely.

Two meals...one burnt after an hour at 900°F, the other cooked to perfection after three hours at 300°F.
Same ingredients.
Different results.
It was such a solid reminder:
Growth isn't about rushing. It's about the right pace.
In a world that glorifies speed and hustle, we forget that some of the best things in life.... skills, success, even healing...take time.
So if your journey feels slow right now, don't stress.
You're not falling behind.
You might just be slow-cooking something exceptional.
