<div>Dear Friends and Family of the Sanders,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with the heaviest of hearts that we update you. On August 8, 2025 at 4:49pm, Lavell (TJ) Sanders lost his hard fought battle with gastric cancer that spread to his liver. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TJ was best known for being the most incredible human being, with the kindest heart and joy for all. He meant so much to so many and he brought light to all that knew him. TJ was an amazing father to his three children, a wonderful husband, and the ultimate coach, who always puts his family's needs above his own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nicole, his spouse, is asking that we honor TJ in the way that he lived-full of heart and joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We, their friends and family, are also reaching out today to ask for donations for the family. The goal is to give the Sanders as much time as possible to remain together in their home without the added stress of financial strain. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate; any amount, big or small, makes a difference. We believe in the power of community and the strength of prayer and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love,
</div>
<div>Friends of the Sanders Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you prefer Zelle, please contact Nicole. (714) [phone redacted]
