  1. On behalf of the Saunders family, past and present, Mildred and I send our thoughts to the Wells family at this difficult time. Our father and mother thought the world of Mrs. Wells. She was wonderful to the patients in the doctors office and a sweet friend to all of us. RIP Mrs. Wells

  2. Skeeter and I will miss Aunt Doris . I remember her as a nurse as a child at Dr Saunders office. She was always so sweet and kind when I had to get shots. She made it all better. Such a sweet heart and always loved everyone so much. Hugs and prayers for her family. She will be missed so much. Huggs and love from Skeeter and I both.

  3. One of the sweetest people in the world. Loved her so very
    much for a very long time. So sorry I had not been able to see you in a few years, but she was always in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with each member of her family in the coming months without her, especially Mary Leta and Gordon, Jr. ( that I used to baby sit when they were little) I love you all so much.
