In Loving Memory of Sandy
Sandy, from the moment we met so many years ago, you became a dear friend—a constant source of warmth and inspiration in my life. The world holds so few like you—caring, loving, and unfailingly honest in a way that made everyone who knew you feel both comforted and seen.
Your life was a testament to the power of kindness and authenticity. The love and admiration you inspired in so many was no accident—it was a reflection of who you were and the example you set for us all. You gave selflessly to those in need, showing us what it means to live a life of purpose and compassion.
I will never forget the memories we created together, nor the lessons I learned from your boundless generosity. Even when I moved away to start a new chapter in my life, I marveled at what you accomplished in that time. You continued to touch lives, creating lasting memories for everyone blessed enough to know you.
Sandy, you leave behind a legacy of love and light, one that will endure in the hearts of all who loved you. You were more than a friend—you were an example, a guiding force, and a gift to this world.
You will be deeply missed, but your spirit will remain with us, inspiring us to live with the same care and authenticity that you exemplified every day.
With love and gratitude,
Gerald Mosley

So fortunate to meet Sandy through our Granny commercials for Spangles. She was a joy to know and was the ringer every time. She WILL be missed! by her family and so many friends.
Sandy was one of my models when I had a boutique in the 90s. I loved her dearly as she was so fun to be with.
I didn’t know Sandy on a personal level, but i sure enjoyed her on all the commercials her & the gals. So sorry for the families loss and the loss to Wichita. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I enjoyed having lunch with Sandy every first Thursday of the month!!!! She was a joy. May you RIP
