To all you Stauffer kids, I’m so sorry. Your mom, was like a second mom to me , and I loved your whole family as my own. Prayers for all of you…🙏
Just imagine stepping on shore and finding it heaven and touching a hand and finding it God! Carolyn was a dear friend and I had talked with her many times about our time we’re going to be together in heaven! See you later Carolyn see you soon. Thanks for being such a great friend. Love from Sherry Howell
My condolences to Craig and his family.
Sorry to hear Carolyn passed into the hands of Jesus,
Andrea, and family, so very sorry to hear of Chris’s mother’s passing. Hoping you all find peace and comfort knowing she’s no longer suffering.
I noticed that her maiden name was Stauffer. My Grandma Miller, from Smithville, was a Stauffer. Maybe we are related??
May the Lord bless and keep you all.
So sorry to hear of Carolyn’s passing. I got to know her through the TOPS chapter. She was a faithful member and contributed a lot at our meetings. She sent many cards for birthdays and many with words of encouragement. We have missed her and will continue to miss her presence. I am praying that God will comfort you in your loss.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mrs. Curtis. She was an important part of the Triway community.
Mrs. Curtis was my first bus driver, and my favorite bus driver. Thank you, Curtis family, for sharing her with so many children over the years. I cherish my memories of her. ❤️
