We were saddened to hear the passing of Mr. Sanders. Our loss touches God's heart deeply. He created the one for whom we grieve, and he knows very well the irreplaceable nature of the relationship you all shared with Mr. Sanders and the many memories we will have of him during our trips to and from (Highrise). God does not minimize or misunderstand our pain. He weeps with us and longs to console us with his love.

No one is immune to life's sorrows. No matter how close we are to God, we will still encounter periods in which dark clouds pass through our lives. God never promised that we would be exempt from pain or sorrow, but he did promise to help us through those times if we place our trust in him.

Please accept our deepest sympathy. He was such a kind and loving man. Was always smiling when he came to Maranatha. He also worked with my mom at General Motors
