Bill, you and Jewels and William already know all the beauty, wisdom, grace, honor, and sweetness that was Sandy.
When Trudie and I first met her it was if she had known us all of her life. She made everyone she met feel that way! We will both miss the gregarious, beautiful person that she was!
Our prayers are with you everyday.

Remembering Sandy, working with her on the first Senior expo and the organization of the Memphis Dance Community Dance Marathon, it was toatally easy to become friends with her, she and I were both "doers" ...she never let the grass grow under her feet and was always thinking of others. I will miss her...Prayers to her family. Sylvia Rose

Bill, she's left a hole in our hearts, hasn't she? For 17 years she was my assistant, friend, confidant, prayer partner, and encourager. You and she even got me hooked on dance! I miss her so - and that's only a fragment of how much I know you miss her. Prayers to you and family. Love, Jane

Sandy was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She was so dedicated to the Special Needs dance classes...I know she is dancing in Heaven and maybe organizing a class for the angels.

My heart is broken and tears just flow. I can't believe my friend had to go. It doesn't seem fair that the good die young and leave the rest of us to care on. You were always young at heart and that was the best part. Your smile, your wit, and your loving heart will guide your family through this difficult part. Even though you can't come out and play, I'll remember you until my last day. I love and miss you Sandy, it ‘sho wuz good'.

I only knew Sandra for a very short period of time, but I know she was a very warm, and outgoing person. It was obvious she and Bill had a happy marriage, and had two great kids. I have been blessed to have met them. I know that she will be missed.
