Mom,
It’s so hard to write this, I still cannot believe you are no longer with us. You were the most amazing mother-in-law anyone could ever ask for. You treated me like a son and I love you and will miss you very much. My heart feels empty knowing you are no longer there. You will be in my thoughts forever.
With Much Love,
Steve
I was shocked to hear of Sandy’s passing. It was only 4 months ago when she was consoling me after my mom’s passing. The Dunlop, Kinney family will miss seeing her smiling face. She was a wonderful friend to our Aunt Gayle Sheridan.
My condolences to Sandy’s family during a very difficult time.
We are so deeply saddened to hear about Sandy’s passing. She was a kind, thoughtful and beautiful person. We will truly miss her. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love and blessings, Jason, Neena & Family xo
First I would like to say “Sandra you were a friend to me when I was new in London”. We had lunches, shopped and shared. I know your thought were always for your family in the very kindest of ways. Carson and Avery brought a tear and sparkle to your eyes. You always went to those hockey games and we often sat together. I was very fortunate to have known your kindness, good intentions and the deep love you felt for your family.
I am very very sad at your passing and will miss just knowing you are not there. May you find eternal peace in the house of the Lord. A truly special lady.
We are saddened to hear of this sudden loss of our dear friend Sandy..we will never forget her kind heart…
Dear Dave, Christie, Carson, & Avery,
We are honoured and blessed to have known your mom and “papa”. She was a wonderful woman who always brought a smile to our faces. She was a blessing in all of our lives and will be truly missed. We are there for you for anything you need. Our most heartfelt condolences.

Sandy was a person who cared deeply for everyone around her. Her generosity of spirit and willingness to care for her family demonstrated her remarkable kindness. She will be missed by all, but especially her grandchildren and great nieces and nephews who delighted in her sense of humour, phone calls and presents.
She will live on in the hearts of those she loved so dearly.
We are so very sorry for your loss. A beautiful woman who was able to bring a smile and lift spirits. It was only a few years we were blessed to know Sandy. Years we are all going to hold onto forever. Dave, Christie Carson and Avery, you all are an amazing reflection of a great person.
A huge loss and our hearts go out to your family, who you loved passionately.
You were a truly Amazing person, so kind, caring, thoughtful and genuine and we were all blessed to have known you.
Thankful that in recent years you enjoyed the move to your lovely condo that was close to the kids. Always loved our talks and the joy you had for absolutely everything…amazing sunsets from your balcony, hockey games, your fabulous family and many dear friends. You lived passionately and positively with love and joy, thank you for making a difference in all our lives.
Forever in our hearts.

Dear Dorothy, Dave and family, I was so terribly saddened to learn of Sandy’s passing. It was a huge shock I am sure to everyone and while there is nothing I can say to ease your pain I just wanted you to know how deeply saddened I am. Unfortunately I cannot be with you on Friday but I will be with you in spirit and I will be in touch. Prayers to all. Susan xo
To Our Dear Friend Sandy: Our life without you playing a part in it is just to hard to imagine right now. We want instead to remember all the good times, the fun times we had together with our little group at Riverbend. You have been an incredible friend, warm kind and considerate, thinking about others, full of fun and always saying there was nothing better than a good laugh and a warm hug. Your generosity was endless and so was your down to earth advice that always made sense. It is just too hard to say goodbye, so how about we hold a place for you in our hearts and you hold a place for us til we meet up again. Best Friends Forever…….Bev and Don
Dave and Christie and family; we are so very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. We hope that the wonderful memories that you cherish will help you through this difficult time.
It is with deep sadness and sympathy to learn of Sandys’s untimely passing. The Parnell and Getliffe families go a long way back; over 80 years.
Sandy was a great and caring friend to my mother through many years; dropping by with goodies and staying for a chat. Mom loved seeing her and catching up on the Parnell comings and goings on.
Sandy lived a life full of joy and love, constantly putting others first. She had a huge heart and will be forever missed.
My deepest sympathy to Dorothy and family of Sandy. She will be remembered as a wonderful person, loving caring and a beautiful smile. She would always say hi when she saw you and stop for a chat. She will be missed at Mount Hope centre for Long Term Care. May she rest in peace.
We are very sorry to hear about Sandy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I sat beside Sandy at various hockey games and always enjoyed our conversations. She was a kind person.
Dave, thinking of you and your family at such a difficult time, holding you close in thought and prayer.
Our sincere sympathies in your loss of Sandy. May your memories of her comfort you and your faith sustain you during this difficult time. She will be greatly missed by many whose lives she touched in special ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Dave and Family,
So sorry to hear of your moms passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Hello Dave,
The loss of a mother or any loved one is never easy. Keep the good memories and smile when you think of them and your mom. If all you can do in a day is breathe… that’s okay! Give yourself permission to feel the way you do. Sincerely,
Janis
Dear Dave, Christie & Family,
When I think of Sandy I have only the fondest memories of her. She loved to host “Tea Party’s” for the kids so she could make fancy sandwiches & cakes, dress up pretty and wear fascinators..! Great memories for my children and for me too. I had the pleasure of being a guest at a luncheon she hosted when she moved into her new condo.. Such a great host & a classy lady not to mention beautiful inside & out!!.. I am honoured to have been a part of her life as are my children.. We certainly have been blessed to know her.. Say hello to my mom Sandy when you see her! Big Hugs to all.! Annette Brian Bryson & Kara oxoxox

Unfortunately, Dave, I do have a commitment on Thursday and Friday and won’t be present for the visitation or service. Just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dave, Christie, Carson and Avery,
We are profoundly sorry for your loss. Sandy was a beautiful women and we all enjoyed our visits with her at hockey games, laughing and sharing stories. Sandy was always quick to give a quarter for the candy machine and take the boys out for lunch. She will be greatly missed. The Grasso’s are keeping you all in our hearts and prayers.
Much Love,
Rachel, Dave, Ben and Faith
Dave, Christie & Family,
I was saddened to hear of Sandy’s passing. She was a delightful, genuinely kind lady. I always enjoyed our chats, sitting together at the hockey games. She will be missed by so many. Your sadness now will in time, turn to happy memories. Deepest sympathy.
Dear Dave and Christie – I was sorry to read of your Mom’s passing. Sometimes we forget that people in your profession also have personal losses, so I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you at this time. I remember your Mother as a gracious hostess the night of your rehearsal party. Blessings. Herbert.
This photo of Sandy Mullen really captures the spirit of the women I knew for nearly 35 years. Warm, energetic, full of life and always ready to engage and interact with her family and friends. Her passing is a shock to all of us who knew her. My deepest condolences to her family, particularly her two children, David and Peggy, her mother Dorothy and her grandchildren. Sandy was always there for the Sheridan family and was like an aunt to my brother and sisters. She was always eager to hear about our lives and was a dear friend to my parents for many years. Hopefully, the beautiful memories of her will help her family get through this difficult time. In sympathy,
Chris Sheridan

I’m very sorry to hear about Sandy’s passing. It was too soon! Dorothy, I know you will miss her visits. I know she will be missed by you as well as all of her other family members and her many friends. Please accept my condolences.
Peggy & David: We were saddened to read about your Mom’s passing. She was a very caring and thoughtful lady and we have fond memories of her from when she lived on Somerset Road. Our thoughts are with you and your families at this difficult time.
Dave became one of my first friends when I moved to London in 1985. Over the years, I spent a lot of time at the Mullen household. I have fond memories of just being goofy teenagers and eventually, young men. Sandy was always very welcoming, kind, positive, a really nice person. It saddens me greatly to hear about her sudden passing. My deepest condolences to all of her family and friends.
Dear Dorothy, Dave and Peggy and families. I am only learning just now of Sandy’s untimely passing. I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear of it. I am so sorry I did not know and not able to attend either the visitation or the funeral today. As stated in the many condolences above, her loss will be felt by so many, and what a wonderful legacy she has left for all of you. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and give you peace and comfort in the days and months ahead. Love Ronalee
