Mrs. Sanders was wonderful! I assisted in her home care for over 4-5 years. Mrs. Sanders really loved the Lord. She wanted everyone to know about the man called "Jesus" whom she loved dearly. Mrs. Sanders never complained or even seemed down spirited. It was simply a pleasure to be one of her caregivers. I felt that I was a part of her family all of them embraced me, as being one of them. Her smile would light up my day when I entered her room. She was a woman that wore a smile all the time. If you wanted to see that smile grow brighter, just start talking about "Jesus". She loved her husband, I never meet him, but she spoke about him often saying his name with such tenderness, "Albert". She loved her children; her boys were mentioned on numerous occasions and we can never forget how she would ask for Merry Joyce, her daughter when she stepped out of her mother's sight. Rest in peace Mrs. Sanders, you are finally with your man, JESUS!!

Mrs. Sanders was quite a woman; loving, kind, a mother-indeed, not only to her children and grand-children, but to so many more who loved her. She was a starched Christian woman who would not send, but carry her children to church with her. She was wonderful and sweet, always with a smile on her face. She will be missed by many!

My sincere condolences to the Sanders family. It is so amazing to hear of those who have enjoyed such long lives, but even more amazing is the promise God has made a promise to give mankind the opportunity to live forever in the restored paradise on earth. May this hope for the future bring you comfort and peace.
