For the Sanders Family.

Im sorry to hear about Coach Sanders. Just know we will see our love ones one day. John3:16.

I am sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort be with you all in difficult time.
( 1 Peter 5 : 7 ).

I met Charlie in 1995 thru Mo Forte of whom were best friends,they met and played football for the Golden Gophers, the last championship team. I enjoyed the stories told by Charlie, Mo and Charlies wife Georgia. He was a great family man and spoke of them all with love, you could see it in his eyes when he talked of them. He will be missed and it is hard still to have to remember him!! God bless you Mr. Sanders, we love you always....

I remember Charlie Sanders, he was one of the greats on the field. Please accept my condolences. May Charlie's accomplishments on and off the field not soon be forgotten and may those memories remain with you until God's promises at John 6:40 are fulfilled.

May the lord give the family strength and courage in the days to come. Peace an Love to the Sanders Family.

One of the greatest of all time, but better still, he was a "good man." He was one of my first sports heroes. RIP fellow Panther.
