    Doug and Family,

    Heartbroken to hear of your loss of a son. My deepest sympathy to you all. I never had the good fortune of meeting your young man. As I read the Charlotte paper I can see he was much like his grandfather, Ed, and you, Doug. He accomplished so very much in such a short time. Such a promising, productive future. I know you are very proud of his many achievements. There are no words to describe the depth of your sorrow, but you have many friends who are praying for you all. Peace be with you.

    Lynn and Doug,
    I am heartbroken to learn of the sudden death of Jeffrey. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Jeffrey, anyone can see he was a handsome, very accomplished, hard-working young man.
    He was blessed to have had your dad, Ed Sanders and you, Doug, to provide the love and guidance he surely had growing up to accomplish as much as he did in such a much too brief life.
    I have no words that can provide you and your family any comfort. You
    have many friends who morn your great loss. You Doug and Lynn are in the thoughts and prayers of so many people who have known you and the Sanders wonderful family over the years.
    My heartfelt condolences to all of the Sanders family. Peace be with you all.
