It is so rare in this lifetime to encounter someone like Sunny Diego.
Everyone who knew Sunny knows that to be true.
​
Sunny had a generosity of spirit that knew no bounds. If you had a lunch date with her, you likely got a candle as a gift for joining her. If you had a baby, your little one probably got a designer onesie. And if you were going though a hard time, celebrating a special occasion, or simply did something that caught her eye, you would get a note, an email, or text to brighten your day. There was nothing Sunny valued more than showering her family, friends and loved ones with tokens straight from her heart.
​
Her passion for her work energized the fashion industry.
When Sunny walked into a showroom or boardroom in her signature shades—often gilded with stars or blindingly mirrored—she captivated the room.
She was a fierce player, with a quick wit and a warm heart. She left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered.
​
Sunny treated everyone like a cherished friend, but there was no denying that her family was her heart. She was a loving daughter, proud mom to Gemma and a devoted sister to her best friend Suzy.
​
It's so hard to lose someone like Sunny, because her vibrant spirit was so comforting and nurturing. It's a beautiful lesson for us all: to continue Sunny's legacy and shower each other with loving kindness, compassion and generosity. Sunny would not want us to wallow in sadness, but instead honor her spirit by filling ours with the love and light that illuminated her so brightly.
