Encouraged me in my preaching more so than any other. A great Christian lady and a family that stood out as being one of the best I ever met.

Sis Sanders was a very special person to our family. Enjoyed weekly visits with her. A very Godly woman. She was always sharing many stories of her and Dean. Our lives have been made richer by the friendship of Sis. Sanders. The family has our deepest sympathy and hope you will cherish the many great memories. Due to health we are sorry we can’t attend. Our thoughts will be with you for many days. God bless all of you.
