Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Sanders' family. I have exceptionally fond memories of Dr. Sanders' graduate cog psych class--he made class funny and fun, no small feat with the subject matter. My time as a graduate student was significantly better because of him.

Dear Mary and Family:
My memory of Ray was as a professor in grad school who was so excited about his students' learning. His enthusiasm and energy are things that I aspire to demonstrate in my own work and teaching. My most sincere sympathy for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Dr. Sanders was one of my favorite Psychology Professors, and your family was one of my favorite families at King YSACC. My prayers are with you.

I did my graduate thesis under Ray in 1971 and have thought of him often over the years. He was kind, considerate, caring and a great instructor. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Mary and family,
I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and you have my deepest sympathy. May God comfort and keep you during this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Val Kortze

Dear Mary and Family,
I just want you all to know how often you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can only imagine what a difficult time this is for all of you.
Love, Pam Mattiazzo

Dear Mary, Brett, & Courtney,

Frances, Martina, Andy and I were sad to hear about Ray's passing. Our kids, Martina and Andy, remembered Ray in a unique way- they remembered Ray and I discussing the relative merits of the Cowboys and the Packers!

We are very sorry for your loss.

Dan, Frances, Martina, & Andy Svyantek

A lot of what I learned from Ray in his graduate course has served me well in my own teaching. I know that Ray's teaching lives on in many of his students.

Dear Mary, Brett and Courtney,
I am so sad to learn of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope all the happy memories will help you during this very difficult time.
Very Sincerely,
Jan Enright
