I just heard the news that lovely Sandra passed away. I worked with her for many years, featuring Sherway Gardens on Cityline. She taught me so much about colour, shape, drape and style ....and I always loved how she moved her hands and touched her bouncy curls as she spoke. ...with grace. Sandra was a wonder to watch, and she taught me skills I use every day. May her family be reminded of how so many of us were bettered because of her.

Living in Jamaica watching this lady on TV..for many years, how could I forget that fashionista, so many great ideas. Just learning of her death 2 months later:
There will not be another .
I recall years ago I was walking out of the first session from tennis at Roger´s Centre , there she was walking in to the night session, our eyes made four, she looked at me and smile and I did the same.
Sleep in peace

I found you were such a classy lady. Loved watching you on Cityline. Seeing how you proudly embraced your curls, gave me freedom to embrace mine. Rest in peace

What an inspiration she was! From head to toe, embracing her curls, wearing the best shoes ever, and showing us how to look good and feel good every day! She made me buy the outfits, buy the bag...you only live once... She lived it fully and leaves behind so many who loved her. She will be missed so much.

Sincerest sympathies to the beautiful family Sandra has left behind to mourn her death. I knew this vibrant, energetic , talented ahead of her time lady when she first started in fashion, (Toronto Life , I believe) as Rowan Legg. She had such a sense of humor and style and always ever so gracious to everyone ,when she came into Creeds she caused a `buzz´ , likewise when she was selecting items at Holt Renfrew, then she would have young interns following her in awe! Sandra, you were a delight to know , you leave a wonderful legacy . REQUIESCE In PACE. .

I watched Sandy so many times on City TV, remember her doing a program segment on the design show and thought she was so uplifting and positive. She was an inspiration to me through her fashion and I thank her for that. And those beautiful curls.

News of Sandra´s passing has brought me to send appreciation for her life and impact on Toronto women. Thank you for sharing your passion and expertise with us all. After having built my career, I decided to stay home for 5 years later in life to raise a family. Seeing Sandra on City Line was so energizing and informative, I taped Fridays to make sure I never missed her segments.. Thank you Sandra for your incredibly talented and sophisticated vision towards fashion.. and life! It inspired me and so many other women. Thank you to Sandra´s family for sharing her with us and supporting her in her passions. Her energy remains with us all....gosh I didn´t even meet her and I feel that...

Beautiful heart; exuberant zest for life. She was an extraordinary human who touched me deeply. I will forever be grateful for her kindness, generosity and fierce sense of style. You taught me so much. There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe what a wonderful presence she was. Much love to Michael, Daphne, Lauryn and Linda and to her beautiful grandchildren Indigo and Tao, you had the most incredible grandmother. I am better woman for having had the pleasure to have known her. Monique

Dear Lauryn and the Pittano family. Lauryn, I meet you in a first year Sociology class at Western. I stood with you as you spoke to your Mom on the phone who helped you work through the anxiety of an exam. I could hear her speaking to you, what a calm spirit she had. I did meet your Mom once at a taping of Cityline and was able to tell her that I had met you. I am so so sorry for your loss. May your Mom rest in the sweetest peace!

So deeply saddened to hear the news of Sandy´s passing. We worked together for many years on Cityline, styling the latest looks in fashion. She had an incredible sense of style and always admired her pushing the envelope. Her smile, wit and humour will be a memory I´ll never forget. She would light a room with her presence, with her fun curls and bold glasses. Everyone wanted to be in her presence as she was a magnet with her spunk & energy. Heaven gained an incredible soul.

Michael. Although we only met Sandra a few times at a wedding or funeral, reading her obituary and hearing about her from John, she must have been an exceptional person.
Our condolences to you and your family. Paul and Betty Pagniello.
