A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
May the many fond memories of your loved one provide you with peace and serenity at this time of loss.

My BFF Sandra, her bright light filled me with joy and laughter, her love filled me with a sense of worth on earth and her magnetic personality filled me with strength. For our angel on earth life has changed not ended for she has gained her everlasting dwelling place in paradise and now has everlasting life as our angel in heaven. My sincere sympathy to the family and I pray that your memories of her will bring you comfort and peace. With much love, Carole Lee.

I have such fond memories of Sandy. We were in High School together and I always enjoyed being with her. I am so sorry that we lost touch as I moved from Savannah right after graduation. We were in the Jr. Miss Savannah Pageant in 1965 and remember riding to rehearsals together. We laughed a lot! I will always remember her sweet ways and smiling face. I hope that her loved ones will cherish all the wonderful memories and will help ease their pain.
I will always remember Sandy.
With love,

I am so sorry to hear about Sandy’s passing, she and Capers were such good friends and wonderful people. We have been away from Savannah many years and we always heard from them on Derby Day and dined at Johnny Harris when we visited the area. I am sure you all have many wonderful memories and pray that time and memories help you during times of sadness.
