I would like to express my sympathy to the family. I am sorry for your loss. The death of a love one is a painful experience. Our Heavenly Father is well aware of the hurt you feel He promises in His Word the Bible to remove pain, suffering, and death (Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:3,4). We know that Almighty Jehovah God has not only the power but also yearns to fulfill this promise. Until that time, may you find comfort in this promise and treasure the memories you shared.

I want to offer my sincere condolences to my good friend Jacob Sanders and the Sanders family. I am praying for you. Always remember that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. Love you Jacob.

Love you Auntie.]

I want to offer my condolences to the Family and friends. Hebrews 4:15 says, “ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have, but without sin.” Yes, Jesus endured sufferings when on earth, including the pain of losing a love one (John 11: 33, 35, 38). It has been promised from our God of comfort that sickness, pain, and death will be removed ((Isaiah 33:24; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:4,5). An additional promise given is that all our loved ones in the memorial tombs will awaken from asleep in death to enjoy life as our loving Creator purposed (Isaiah 26:19; Psalms 145:16). Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.

Love you always Willie Sanders! I am honored that I got to work side-by-side with you for 11yrs. I will miss your laughter, jokes, quick come backs and out conversations. You were more than just a coworker you were family! Rest peacefully❤️ Nancy Evelyn

I would like to express my sincere condolences to your family in the loss of Mrs. Sanders. May you find comfort in the memories you have with her.
