I heard about Mrs. Sandra's death today and am dearly sorry. I loved your momma! She took care of me and loved me like I was her own. I, like Courtney, have SO many awesome memories of her. She was creative, fun and always up for an adventure. My prayers are with you through this hard season.

Hi Charlie and Lindsey, So sorry to hear about Sandy. After selling us our house in 79 she was the first friend I had in Ocean Springs. Then when the girls were born a month apart it just made our friendship closer. Sorry we lost touch after your move to Gulfport. Our prayers are with you. Jenny has tried to contact Lindsey, hope she succeded.

Sandy sold us our first house in 1977 in Magnolia Estates, D'Iberville. What a vibrant personality. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie and her family.

I regret that so many years have passed that I have not seen my cousin. I remember fondly the days when we were teenagers running around Biloxi in Sandy's car having fun. I am happy that her suffering is over and that she is resting in the arms of our Lord.
