Sandra went on to share: “Growing up beside me, reminding me who I am, and somehow always knowing telepathically when I needed her. I was the Gilly to her steadfast Sally, then and forever. And that yummy, “Jet’s Jet black chocolate cake“ in the film, was created by Gesine for Diane. I’m so lucky I get to call you my sister. I love you more than words can say.”
