We were sad to hear of the death of our cousin George. He was one of the kindest people ever. Best wishes to Lois and family.

I knew Mr. Saunders for one day while he was a patient at Roanoke Memorial a couple of weeks ago. I'm a nursing student and he was my first patient on 8-south. He was a very sweet, kind man and I had been praying for him since I left the hospital that day that he would have a lot more time to spend with his family before he went to be with the Lord. His plight tugged at my heart, but I feel blessed for having known him for even that short amount of time. To Mr. Saunders's family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. I didn't know him well and I didn't know him for very long, but I hadn't forgotten him and I do know that he had a wonderful family who loved him very much. While he was under my care, I tried to give him the best care I knew how, and I got him to chuckle and smile a few times despite what he was going through. God be with you during your time of loss. You are in my prayers.
