Today would have been our 39th wedding anniversary. A year has passed already since the last time Sandy and I went out on a date together for our anniversary that included a road trip and fantastic dinner to celebrate another happy year together. She was such a caring person who always had a smile on her face and made others near her feel happy as well due to her cheerful personality. I cannot find the right words to explain how much I miss her. Sandy will always be a part of me and my love for her remains strong.

When Sandy and I lived in Minot, North Dakota, she learned how to fish for Northern Pike which can grow up to 30 inches or longer in length. She once got so excited after a fish took her bait that she screamed and threw down her fishing pole because she didn't know how to swim and thought the fish might pull her into the water. We both watched helplessly as the fish continued on its way down stream, taking her pole, sun hat and sunglasses along with it. I never laughed so hard before. A great memory.

My dear sister in law Sandy was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She always greeted family with unexpected gifts during visits or send gifts for no reason. Sandy always enjoyed being with our family & went out of her way to make us feel comfortable in her home. She will be deeply missed & my heart & prayers go out to my brother David & nephew Chang.
Sandy Kim Cox, 69, of Tacoma passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday August 16, 2017, during a surgery to detect lung cancer. Sandy was born in Korea as Kim, Sun Chong on May 21, 1948 to her caring parents in Seoul. She is survived by her loving husband David of 38 years and her only son, Chang, both of Tacoma, and also by other family members throughout Korea and the United States. She was a cheerful person with a strong desire to learn new things and was devoted to her family and close friends. She met her husband early in 1979 on Guam and was married in the capital city of Agana on August 15 that same year. She traveled with her military husband to Air Force installations in Taegu, Korea, and other base locations in the United States including Minot, North Dakota, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, and Oahu, Hawaii. She set up home in each new location and was well known for her tireless efforts in keeping her homes organized and spotless at all times. She amazingly learned English well enough to pass her test the first time and received her naturalization certificate of U.S. citizenship in November 1983, which included changing her name to Sandy Kim Cox. She held various jobs over the years at different places during her travels, but eventually became content to be a homemaker who looked out for the welfare of her family. She enjoyed traveling, fishing, and catching dungeness crab. She will be sorely missed by her family and all who knew her, but especially by her husband and son.
