Posted at 14:32h, 07 JuneDear Sanderlin Family, your parents you!e so very precious. When I was expecting my second child, I was to be on complete bed rest. I can’t tell you how many times your mom & dad came by & took my baby so I could rest. Mari’ Lee gave some formals to an employee & I remade them for (Elaine’s) daughter. I visited them at London several times. Your mom used to go on diets often. Your dad said she would even throw away the vanilla wafers. The last time I was there I took vanilla wafers. We had wonderful visits with your mom sharing things she remembered from her childhood. I will surely miss them. Only for a short while though as we made plans to meet in heaven. May God richly bless & keep each of you!
