Sandy was the most caring person you could ever meet. She could lighten up your day just by walking in the room. She would always go out of her way to help you. You will be sadly missed. My heart and prayers go out to David (Mouse).
Sandy was a beautiful soul who went out of her way to help anyone in need.We will miss her greatly. Our thoughts & prayers are with Sandy's remaining family & friends.Please know she has gone on to her reward.
Sandy was always very cool to work with and she and her husband Mouse are both really special people. We very shocked and sorry to hear the news. We'll keep Sandy's family and friends in our thoughts and prayers.
You know someone has made an impression on your life when you know their cell number by memory. Thats how often she was called over the years, for advice...for support...just to say hi. I dont think anyone is going to be able to fill her shoes. We will miss you Sandy!
I don't know how we are going to adjust to losing Sandy. She was such a wonderful person to work with and to get to know. On a personal level, she was the greatest! What I'm gonna miss the most is her smile. She always made getting ready for the rally more enjoyable to us in the office. She had a way of making you feel better no matter how bad of a day you were having. To Mouse, Just remember how much she loved you! To Andrea & Mike, you have lost a wonderful co-worker and friend! Noone will ever be able to fill her shoes that's for sure. I will help you guys in any way that I possibly can. When it's time for pulling permits, we will work together and make sure that everything is done to Sandy's satisfaction! Sandy, you will be missed!

SANDY WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL WOMEN AND GOOD FRIEND TO ALL. SHE WOULD ALWAYS BRIGHTEN OUR DAY IN CODE ENFORCEMENT.TO MOUSE, MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
This was my first year working with Sandy. When she came to visit my tent, as she did all her vendors, I extended my hand. "Shaking hands are for strangers," she said as she gave me a nice welcoming hug. My few memories will be of a sincere, caring, genuine person who would have gone out of her way to help even the newest of friends.
I've worked with Sandy the last three years, and she was always someone I looked forward to working with because of her kindness, and her work in making it the best event it could be for our company. She will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
We will miss Sandy's kindness and sweet personality. She was always good to us as vendors and made the process run smooth. She would help in any way she could. It will not be the same in Myrtle Beach without her.
I am still in shock!!! God was obviously in need of a very special angel when he chose Sandy. What a wonderful woman, a genuine friend, a REAL person with such an uplifting spirit. She will be missed. And to Mouse, remember the good times, be thankful that you had someone in your life that loved you so much. You were blessed with such a beautiful soul to spend your life with. There is yet another angel above to look out for the rest of us left here awaiting our turn to go HOME! All my love and prayers, Sunshine
Sandy you truly made a difference in our lives, always a big smile & even bigger hug! Being the proud grandmother I am Sandy knew to ask to see pictures each time we saw her, last year at Daytona Sandy came by our booth and as usual ask to see pictures. As she flipped the pages she came to a picture of my grandaughter Aubrey and she just stopped right there, paused, looked up at me & said Oh my! She is beautiful! Then she started crying,got goose bumps, and said I don't know what it is I can't quit looking at her! Then again the next time she saw the new pictures of Aubrey the same thing happened. I know now what connection Sandy has.....she is Aubrey's angel. Sandy we love you & will miss you dearly
Sylvia and I will miss Sandy more than we can imagine at the present. She was the first friend we had in this industry and became much more than an associate. We love you Mouse and may God comfort you with his grace. http://picasaweb.google.com/usridernews/RIPSandyLeone/photo#5077538902595572658

To Sandy's family and friends...On behalf of the City of North Myrtle Beach employees that worked with Sandy, we are all very saddened by Sandy's death. She was such a great person to work with when she came to get permits for bike week. We will all miss her and you are all in our hearts and prayers.
We will all miss Sandy's smile and contagious laugh... She will never be forgotten. My hearts and prayers go out to those that were in contact with her on a daily basis as I know this must be hard for all of you. Please pass our love to "Mouse" I can't imagine how he must be feeling at this time.
The motorcycle industry has suffered a tremendous and unexpected loss with the passing of our dear friend and partner Sandy Leone. Caring, generous and well respected in the motorcycle industry, Sandy was instrumental with the launch of the Top 50 Rally Park.
Like all families who experience a sudden loss of a loved one, we are heartbroken, shedding tears, and remembering what a special lady Sandy was to us.
While the hustle and bustle of our Rally Park is upon us, we appreciate the special gifts that Sandy has left to each and every person on our team. There have been many lives that were blessed by her presence. She will live on in the hearts and souls of all of us who have been touched by her positive guidance and wonderful character.
Her past accomplishments, successes and experiences with the Myrtle Beach Rally have laid the backbone for the Top 50 Rally Park and we will forever be indebted to her for her involvement. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mouse, Miss Katie and her family.
We honor her memory because she was so dear.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to you recently at Americade. I have just been told of the tragic loss of your good friend and mine Sandy. How hard it must be for you to be going through the loss of such a great person. I also thought highly of her and will always remember being surprised to see her and you when you both came up to my booth in the Fourm at Americade. She was the best, and brought out the best in people she came in contact with. It was a pleasure to work with her as an attending vendor at your Harley store during Bike Weeks in the past 7 years that i have been doing your shows.
Please accept my condolences, my prayers are with you and your fellow workers. Shannon Estep Owner FLYING PIG EYEWEAR CO
My family and I would like to express our deepest heartfelt condolences for your unimaginable loss. I had the good fortune to work with Sandy for several Spring Rallies while promoting motorcycle racing at Conway Speedway and most recently as a Colonial Mall vender. Sandy will be missed very much by all who knew her, may she rest in peace.
Gary Densford and Family Desperado Racing Products - Myrtle Beach, SC
The success of Myrtle Beach Rallies should be shining testament to the many individuals that Sandy blessed with her personality, her wit, her charm and her talent... it is truly a great loss to not only the biker community, but in its entirety, that of Myrtle Beach. On Behalf of the family at HB Spokes, we off our condolences and prayers for Sandy's family and loved ones. We’ll miss you Sandy.
I considerate myself fortunate to have known Sandy as a co-worker and a friend. We worked through many Myrtle Beach rallies together and I have so many good memories in and out of work. My heart goes out to David(Mouse) and family.
"Hay Girl"... "Hay Chickie"... That's how we always greeted each other, whether it was in person or an email. Sandy was always smiling and had a twinkle in her eyes. I have worked for and with Sandy for 5 years. I will miss her terribly. The motorcycle community will miss her. I was just looking at the last email she sent me...her signature was “Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much” – what a testament to the person she was and the life she lived. Sandy, Your Love for Life will live on with all you have touched.
“To live in hearts we leave behind...Is not to die” ~Thomas Campbell, "Hallowed Ground"
I will miss Sandy so much. I have never worked with a vendor co-ordinator that was so accountable. I trusted her and in this industry. That says alot. I loved her laugh and her smiling face. She always cared about how I was. She always asked about my son Jarred. Myself and my crew are deeply saddened by her death. Myrtle Beach won't be the same with out her. Mouse, if theres any thing I can do.... just call.
Sandy will be deeply missed by us, we first met her in Daytona where she had asked us to come to Myrtle beach, while in Daytona our house in Michigan burned down, when we told sandy of all this she was such a caring person and very concerned if anyone was hurt, we also had new grandchildren and she would always ask to see pictures of them. A pleasure to work with. our prayers go out to her family.
Sandy was one the most loving and wonderful people I know. Her love for Mouse, Katie, and people around her was a joy for all. She was a special person in our lives and will be missed forever.
My heart goes out to you David.
May God bless and take care of you during your time of sorrow.
Your friend, Mike and Bev Wilson Mike Wilson Enterprises/frogg toggs
Sandy always had a smile on her face and a kind word for anyone she met. Her smile will always be that ray of sunshine we see peeking through the clouds. My thoughts and prayers got out to Mouse and her family. Sassy Orlando,FL
I was blessed to have spent an unexpected day with Sandy at Americade 2 weeks ago.
Walking around with Sandy was amazing. We couldn't go two feet without someone stopping us and saying “hi,” giving us hugs or just waving. What does that say? Plain and simple...this is a testimonial on how much people loved, enjoyed and respected this incredible friend and partner. They don't come any better. Sandy was personable, compassionate, patient, organized and incredibly talented.
Every email Sandy sent out had this saying on the bottom, “Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much,” a great example of how we should live.
Our team at Biker InCite is heartbroken by this sudden news. Thank you Sandy for making a difference with all your love and support. I will miss you beyond words.
Our prayers are with Mouse, Miss Katie and family.
Sandy was unbelievable. She helped everyone. She was always smiling and caring. She went out of her way for you. She became a friend even though she was a business partner. I am in shock and horror. She is in a better place, but will be missed terribly. To her family, my sorrows.
Sandy will always be with us in our hearts, she had such a effect on ALL the lives she touched. When a life crosses over and we go back home. We never actually leave the people we love. We stay in thier hearts, thats were we live. For those who are left behind, and it feels like the your heart hurts so bad and the weight is so heavy, it's because we have to adjust to the newness of carring that love, that someone inside our hearts. Sandy will live in our hearts.
To Mouse- May the love and support of all those who loved Sandy and all the joy and happiness that Sandy shared with others come back to you ten-fold and help you through this terrible time. We are saddened beyond words and our thoughts, prayers and hearts are with you and all of Sandy's family and friends. Denise and Bo Jackson, Tempe, AZ

In all of the years that I have been involved in the motorcycle industry, have I ever met a more loving and caring person.Sandy performed her duties as a vendor coorinator with such professionalism, yet she truly cared about each of us on a personal level. My crew and I will truly miss her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. Sandy, thank you for leaving us your words to live by, LIVE WELL, LAUGH OFTEN and LOVE MUCH

We will think of you often!! Doug Keim and Liz O'Brien Creative Cycles
I was really shocked when I heard the news and it will be very difficult to be at Myrtle and not have Sandy around. My thoughts and prayers are with Mouse and all the family and all their friends at this time and in the future. I am sure you will never be forgotten by many. I will definately miss you Brian from Vantage
As long time vendors under Sandy we join all others in expressing our heartfelt sadness in the tragic loss of this wonderful lady. Mouse - to you we especially extend our thoughts and prayers during this unbelievably sad time and pray you will find comfort somehow.
We were very sad to hear the news of Sandy's tragic death. Out thoughts and prayers are with everyone at Myrtle Beach H-D but expecially with Mouse. She left us with many good memories.
Greg & JoAnn Campbell & the entire Boss Bags crew!!
Great to work with, absolutely the best at what she did. More importantly was the way she treated people, what a role model. Thanks Sandy, we'll miss you.
It was comforting to know, when vendors were coming to town, it was great to have Sandy around. Having worked in the Zoning Dept. for 16 years, we wished Sandy was on-board sooner with the help she offered by making the permitting process so much easier. Everyone one that worked in Code and Zoning knew that Sandy would make sure to "get it right" and she did!! Sandy will always be remembered as a gem of a lady. Prayers to her family. Roland Meyer Horry County Zoning Administrator (Retired)
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF SANDY ,SHE WAS A GREAT LADY,I HAVE KNOWN HER FOR 4 YEARS AND SHE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL LIKE FAMILY,SHE IS GOING TO BE MISSED BY ME AND MY FAMILY,THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES,RICHARD MORABITO ,XTREME CUSTOMS AND CYCLES
Sandy, If you only had meet her for the first time she made you feel like an old friend. She was a great resource and raised the standard in the industry for all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at Myrtle Beach Harley Davidson.
We've been trying to find the right words to express our sorrow about the passing of Sandy. We had the good fortune of meeting her last year and couldn't wait for her warm greeting at each rally. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends and we will truly miss her. She was a a rare find!
We want to express the deep loss we feel in the passing of Sandy. She was a great lady, friend, and business partner. We worked with Sandy for the past few years at the Myrtle Beach Rallies, and starting last year with the Top 50 Rally in Piedmont, SD. We always looked forward to her smile and hug, and she displayed a very professional, honest, and fair character. She was, to us, "the cream of the crop" in Vendor Coordinators, and will be sorely missed. We express our sympathy to David, her family, and business associates.
I can't even begin to talk about all the great memories of Sandy. She was my matron of honor at my wedding, she was the happiest person I knew. She was always laughing, smiling and always wanted to have fun! We had so many laughs with her and I'll always treasure the memories. My favorite picture of her is when we were in Mexico at Mezicalitos and she had these funky sunglasses that she wore all day! That was the best day we had together! I'll miss her terribly as will so many others. -- Tina
Sandy was one of the most incredible people that I have met and worked with in my life. She always made you feel like you were apart of the family. She will be missed by all greatly, thank you for brightening up our lifes. Our prayers go out David(Mouse.
Sandy was a strong and amazing woman, Sandy always knew what to do and how to make it happen. Her smile brings tears to my eyes and there is not a day that passes I do not miss her and remember her words of wisdom and strength. I know she is looking down on my son Garet every night when I put him to bed as he hugs his favorite teddy bear that his Aunt Sandy gave him. Our hearts,thoughhts and prayers are with you David. Much love and respect, Jennifer and Garet Jurrens
I'm a former Pentagon employee and was there on 9/11. I founded the U.S. Angels, a female motorcycle club that raised funds for the returning wounded soldiers & their families with girls-n-bikes calendars. Sandy heard about us and called me, inviting me and the girls to Myrtle Beach. She was always so great to deal with - me and the girls just loved her. Ironically, I moved to SC last year and am hosting a local motorcycle show. Sandy had heard about it and emailed me congrats. I told her I had wanted to interview her at the shop - that her 15 minutes was way overdue. She laughed and promised to do it at the Fall Rally - the spring rally was just too crazy and hectic. I was literally getting ready to call her this week to get info about the fall schedule when I saw the info on MB Harley's website. I'm still in shock - what a tremendous loss to everyone who knew her.

Great to work with, absolutely the best at what she did.
More importantly was the way she treated people, what a role model. Thanks Sandy, we'll miss you.
It was comforting to know, when vendors were coming to town, it was great to have Sandy around. Having worked in the Zoning Dept. for 16 years, we wished Sandy was on-board sooner with the help she offered by making the permitting process so much easier. Everyone one that worked in Code and Zoning knew that Sandy would make sure to "get it right" and she did!! Sandy will always be remembered as a gem of a lady. Prayers to her family.

Sandy, If you only had meet her for the first time she made you feel like an old friend. She was a great resource and raised the standard in the industry for all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at Myrtle Beach Harley Davidson.
We've been trying to find the right words to express our sorrow about the passing of Sandy. We had the good fortune of meeting her last year and couldn't wait for her warm greeting at each rally. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends and we will truly miss her. She was a a rare find!
We want to express the deep loss we feel in the passing of Sandy. She was a great lady, friend, and business partner. We worked with Sandy for the past few years at the Myrtle Beach Rallies, and starting last year with the Top 50 Rally in Piedmont, SD. We always looked forward to her smile and hug, and she displayed a very professional, honest, and fair character. She was, to us, "the cream of the crop" in Vendor Coordinators, and will be sorely missed.
We express our sympathy to David, her family, and business associates.
I can't even begin to talk about all the great memories of Sandy. She was my matron of honor at my wedding, she was the happiest person I knew. She was always laughing, smiling and always wanted to have fun! We had so many laughs with her and I'll always treasure the memories. My favorite picture of her is when we were in Mexico at Mezicalitos and she had these funky sunglasses that she wore all day! That was the best day we had together! I'll miss her terribly as will so many others. -- Tina
Sandy was one of the most incredible people that I have met and worked with in my life. She always made you feel like you were apart of the family. She will be missed by all greatly, thank you for brightening up our lifes. Our prayers go out David(Mouse.
Sandy was a strong and amazing woman, Sandy always knew what to do and how to make it happen. Her smile brings tears to my eyes and there is not a day that passes I do not miss her and remember her words of wisdom and strength. I know she is looking down on my son Garet every night when I put him to bed as he hugs his favorite teddy bear that his Aunt Sandy gave him. Our hearts,thoughhts and prayers are with you David.
Much love and respect,
Jennifer and Garet Jurrens
I'm a former Pentagon employee and was there on 9/11. I founded the U.S. Angels, a female motorcycle club that raised funds for the returning wounded soldiers & their families with girls-n-bikes calendars. Sandy heard about us and called me, inviting me and the girls to Myrtle Beach. She was always so great to deal with - me and the girls just loved her. Ironically, I moved to SC last year and am hosting a local motorcycle show. Sandy had heard about it and emailed me congrats. I told her I had wanted to interview her at the shop - that her 15 minutes was way overdue. She laughed and promised to do it at the Fall Rally - the spring rally was just too crazy and hectic. I was literally getting ready to call her this week to get info about the fall schedule when I saw the info on MB Harley's website. I'm still in shock - what a tremendous loss to everyone who knew her.
