Sisters & Brothers,
Sister Sandra Nichols, a PO5 on #2 shift at the VMPP, has died from a head injury that she sustained from a fall at work on July 4th. She had been operating a stacker during the afternoon dispatch on the 4th floor by elevator 7/8 when she fell off the stacker and hit her head on the concrete floor, critically injuring herself. Sandra has been a postal worker since 1985, carving out a niche for herself at the VMPP. She had a good sense of humor and laughed easily, loved working a crossword puzzle and was a prolific reader. Her son Patrick Nichols works as a letter carrier in the Vancouver Local and has been very supportive to Sandra’s co-workers in their grief and during the weeks that Sandra was in intensive care. This is a tragedy that won’t be forgotten. Sandra’s co-workers, and all of her brothers and sisters will take time to reflect on this sad event and on her untimely passing.
Sincerely,
Robert
