On January 7th, 2006, Sandy Richert, wife of Rolly Richert for 38 wonderful years, went home to be with Jesus. To perpetuate Sandy's passions and life of ministry, Outside the Box Ministries and the Richert family have set up a special memorial fund in honor of Sandy. The purpose of this fund is to continue the legacy of love and service that Sandy embodied in her days here on earth. Each of the letters in the word "FOREVER" represent a part of Sandy's life, work, heart, and ministry. Donations received toward Sandy's FOREVER Fund are used in the following areas:
F: Flowers for Sandy
O: Outside the Box Ministries
R: Rolly's ideas
E: Evangelism
V: Volunteers
E: Estonia (missions)
R: Relationships

Sandy was passionate about each of those things. Sandy was always devoted to making Rolly's big ideas a reality. Through prayer and special counsel, she supported, encouraged, and challenged Rolly to hear from God and respond to His voice. Sandy was an evangelist. She was adamant about her desire to spread the Gospel to young people all over the nation. That's why we intend to keep that heart for evangelism alive through supporting evangelistic efforts, sponsoring students, and creating events with Jesus at the center. Sandy volunteered countless hours at youth groups and events, always offering a comforting hug, sound wisdom, and a beautiful smile. We want to bless others in the same way.

We could give you hundreds of examples of Sandy's heart and passions but the bottom-line is this: Sandy has touched countless lives, and we consider it our blessing and privilege to continue her life's work in these ways. The Richert family and the Outside the Box Ministries board will guide the allocation of these funds to the areas above.


Sandy and Rolly's Journal

During the last year and a half of Sandy's life, she and Rolly kept an online journal of Sandy's experiences, thoughts, and updates for family and friends to read. If you take some time to visit these words, perhaps you will begin to understand how a loving woman God can have such a tremendous impact upon everyone who had the privilage to be loved by or to love Sandy. Her sweet smile, scriptural encouragement, and daily love will live in our hearts forever. We welcome you to read more, in her own words.
