Jim and I would like to extend our sympathy to you. We have a lot of fond memories from their earlier years in Wooster.
Carolyn was a Proverbs 31 lady if ever we knew one! We can’t say enough good things about her. She was dearly loved by her husband, her family, and everyone who knew her. Beautiful on the outside and the inside! Most of all, she loved her Lord & Savior and wanted others to know Him, too.
We’ll see you on the other side, Carolyn!
Thinking of you and your families during this time.
