Harry and family, We were all sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. We send our sympathies and pray God’s comfort for you in the coming months. Carol always had such a cheerful countenance and joy in the Lord and she faithfully remembered all our birthdays and anniversaries with special cards and words of encouragement. We treasure the special Christmas stockings she made for Robin and Lindsey years ago. She had a big heart and she will be missed. Love and prayers, Mark, Linda, Robin and Lindsey Snyder
