Beautiful tribute! I’ve known Sandy a long time! She absolutely loved those babies more than anything! Her giggle was contagious! My prayers are with everyone who is grieving over the loss of my dear grade school friend! Our Grannies Gone Wild each year will have a vacant chair each year in honor of Sandy. She will be greatly missed @ our 40th Class Reunion this year that she was looking forward to attending!

I’m at a loss for words. I am deeply saddened and will miss her and our daily talks and our shopping trips. Sandy was one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known.
I truly believe she is now wrapped in the arms of Angels and still has that beautiful smile on her face. I offer my condolences to all of the family and pray for peace in your hearts in the coming days. I pray for your grief to subside and that God walks with you though this and eases your sadness.

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom, Grandma, every title you can think of. I worked with Sandy a lot of years in dispatch and even back then, her boys were her one and only concern. SO much love for them. We had so much fun working together on day shift. May all of you be comforted by prayers and loving thoughts in the days ahead….

Sandy was a fantastic person with a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor. I worked with her at Pier 1 and really enjoyed our time together. My thoughts and prayers are with tour family.

Sandy was a beautiful person and always had a smile for me. She’d share pictures of her grandbabies and tell me about their time together. Oh how she loved those little ones! Rest well and in peace Ms. Sandy.

We were sadden to hear of the passing of Sandy. I’m thankful for the many years of service that she gave as a Grand Prairie Communication Specialist. She was a great dispatcher. I worked many nights with Sandy at the console and always knew she had my back when I was out there. Every cop should have the privilege of working with a dispatcher like Sandy.

Deepest condolences to the Bell Family. I had the privilege of working with Sandy at Pier 1 and enjoyed the time we were able to get acquainted. She was forever smiling, bragging on her grand-babies and family. Sandy always had a kind word, shared smiles, loved to laugh, encouraged others and was always positive. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you all during this time of loss.

I had the pleasure of having a closer relationship with Sandy this past year and we were talking of rooming together next month. She had a contaigious sense of humor and a compassionate streak miles wide. I am happy that she is at total peace now, but I know the sorrow of losing someone special and dear to the hearts of your family. There is no easy way to grieve a loss like that, i hope you will find some comfort knowing many many friends are holding you in prayer. May you look to the One who holds us all, knows every tear we cry and comforts us like nothing else can. Fall in His arms find rest and comfort. I stand beside you on the path of grief, know you are not alone.

This was a beatiful tribute to a wonderful person. It made me cry. When I saw the elementary pictures it brought back such good memories for me.I lived next door to Sandy & we used to play dolls in the yard. We had so much fun together. I was so sad when my family moved Most people dont change much from elementary to adult hood but she did.One of her changes was she lost her red hair. Her brother Gary didn’t change at all. My love & prayers go out to her family. Rest in peace my beatiful friend. Some day maybe we can play dolls again.
