Rene and family, I am so sorry and I know how much you grieve but I pray the knowledge that you will join her again around the throne of Jesus will bring you comfort. I know Sissy is with her beloved Edo, my Aunt Dubbie and Daddy. Do you think there is a domino game in progress? Sissy was so much a part of our family gatherings that it was often hard to remember that she was a relative by choice not by birth. I will miss her. I will be lifting you all in prayer as you say goodbye to very special lady. I love you all.
Thank you Lynn.
Our families had such great times together.
Sissy was an original. I remember all the times my Mom and I visited with her at the ” Green Stamp” store! She loved all of Rene’s classmates. Thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Rene, My condolences to you and your family. May God give you peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time. I will be praying that God provides a loving embrace to you as you mourn the loss of your mother. Peace in Christ, Parker
I wish I could take away everyone’s pain but I know I can’t. My heart goes out to the whole family & all of Aunt Sissy’s friends. My auntie was one of a kind. I will miss her. I find comfort knowing that she is with Uncle Edo and so many of our family.

Rene, There isn’t a lot one can say at a time like this, other than love you and I am here. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Dear family,
It is so sad to read that Mrs. Sanders has passed away. May your memories of her as well as a hope of being reunited one day – John 5:28,29 – bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
Thinking of you and your family.
Thank you Mollie.
It is incredibly difficult.
Lola Pearl was one of a kind but when she and Dovie were together they made quite a pair. I can hear her now telling me I’m being mean calling her Lola Pearl instead of Sissy as she is belting out her wonderful laugh. How she will be missed but I know in my heart she’s having a grand time with Edo, Dovie, Daddy and all the rest of the family. My heart aches with her passing but The Lord will hold us in his arms during our time of pain and sorrow. You have another angel watching over you and your family. My love to you Rene.
Jeannie,
Thank you for the kind words. We had a great time growing up with all of you. She is at peace now.
