Mrs. Saunders my life was made better by having the opportunity to spend time with you and your beloved husband, the late Mr. Saunders. I will forever cherish the Saturday afternoons I sat on your couch with you doing nothing. Those were truly some great times. In spite of circumstances you continued to love me and I loved you. Rest In Peace and may God bless you and Mr. Saunders to once again be together. Love and miss you!

I would like to offer my sincere condolences on behalf of my parents the late Arlester & Annie S. Ratcliff and myself Glenn Ratcliff. My father would often remind us that he introduced Miss Mildred to her future husband Mr. Edward Saunders. My Mom was one of her best friends and they both served faithfully on the Number 1 Usher Board at the Saint John Baptist Church. I saw in the two of them what true friendship looked like and how to be a good friend.
You were loved dearly by your children and they served you well and I know you are proud of the care that they provided for you. Miss Mildred Rest In Peace and tell my Mom and Dad that I love and miss them.
