Condolences to the Sanderlin Family. Raymond and I attended Henry Clay Elementary, Ruffner Jr High School. I will always remember his kind heart and the love he showed his Mom and siblings. Raymond had a funny sense of humor and a very humble spirit. I was saddened to hear of his passing, however, we know God never makes a mistake. God continue to strengthen his wife during this time and let all know that according to God´s Word Joy will come in the morning. Be forever Blessed.
