Chris and Family,
I loved spending time on your childhood farm. Your mom was such a very hard worker and she could sure cook!
I’m so sorry for your loss of your mother. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Angela
Much love
Carol was a fine woman who loved her family and worked very hard alongside her husband. She was a devoted mother and friend to many in the community.
Chris and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. She was one of the kindest people, always with a smile on her face. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We’re here if you need anything. Love you, Paul and Karen.
Extending my sympathy to Carol’s family, We were neighbors on the farm in Tiro and so grew up with she and her brothers, mom and dad. Such a dedicated family and hard workers. May you cherish the many good times. Praying the Good Shepherd holds you in his arms.
