Sending prayers of comfort for the loss of a beloved member of our family, our godmother. "Aunt Helen" and her husband, "Uncle Big Bill" were great friends of our family that even though weren't related by blood, were our god parents and a constant with our family. Their children baby sat some of us (if not all of us) when we were growing up. I last saw beautiful Aunt Helen at my mother's funeral in January 2018. She always had a smile on her face and remained the sweet and caring woman I always remembered throughout the years. You all are in my prayers! Sending love your way!

The Sanders' family has been richly blessed by having this godly Proverbs 31 woman as the matriarch of their family. From my first encounter with her I recognized her grace and wisdom. Truly this scripture only touches upon the beauty of Mom Sanders and her life. She is a precious jewel. "Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:29-30 NASB

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
