Sheryl...you are in my prayers. Elbert was funny, kind, and loved you! You will both be together in the future. He lit up when he said he was retiring to NC! Just keep him in your heart and talk to him every day....he does hear you!

I played with Elbert "Bug" Jr. and his older brother Otto during the summer months when we got out of school. "Bug" and I went fishing together and swam in Dry Creek back in Coatopa, AL where we grew up. He and I walked to the school bus stop together at Jack Mundy store.  

I have fond memories of "Bug", and you the Sanders family, are in my prayers.

God be with you,
Roland Maye


We hope the memories of Elbert comfort you today, tomorrow and beyond.

Thou tomorrow will start without Elbert (Uncle) we will forever cherish the memories of him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked on the Obama campaign with Mr. Sanders. He was always kind and helpful to everyone. The last time I saw Mr. Sanders and his wife Cheryl was on 12 /11 at WalMart. We had a very nice conversation. He look very well. I just can't believe he is gone. He will be missed.

Rest in Peace Elbert.
Blanche V. Williams

The Lord God will wipe away all tears!  Though Elbert will be apart from us for a while, hope it soothes your soul to know we we will meet him again. You and your loved one are both a special part of God's eternal plan.  He was my cousin, growing up with him, I knew him affectionally as "Bug".  May God grant you peace and the strength to endure.  We the Alabama cousins offer our deepest sympathy and prayers.  God Bless!

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Elbert Sanders, I've been friends with his wife, Sheryl, on line for over 20 years.  I'm in shock and very sad about this.  May Elbert dance amongst the stars and the angels, and sit at the right hand of God!
