I was so sorry to hear of the beautiful and so talented, Sandra, departing this world to join the heavenly choir of angels. My prayers are for you Gary and family at this yime of sorrow. I will always remember how she would smile that beautiful smile when she would do me the honor of singing my favorite,"Sugar In My Bowl". Sandra and the boys provided this town with such quality entertainment. I am so grateful to have known such a classy, soulful lady. I'm sure once she met her Lord and Savior, Ella, Billy, Louis and Nina were waiting inline to welcome her with open arms.

I was one of the founding members of the Aiken Jazz Society, and it was my great pleasure to get to know the beautiful and talented Miss Sandra and "the boys" through our mutual love of music. Always smiling, hugs and kisses for all, bringing joy to so many by sharing the God-given gift of song. She now sings with the angels. Condolences to her family and dear friends.

To you the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2

Gary, I loved Sandra like I had known her for a lifetime and I loved the way she was always so kind to me. Her music and voice, her spirit and soul, her beautiful smile, her love for others. I could go on and on....., I will never forget her and had been thinking of her and you lately and then life takes over and goes on and on and then it's to late to tell her how much she meant to me. Rose Neal loved her so much and gave Sandra a pin that Sandra wore & made Rose Neal's last year of life so happy with her beautiful voice and kindness. God is lucky to have her and I feel my life was so enhanced for knowing her and you. May God watch over you and your family during this time. The memories can never be erased.
