Dear Cousins,
Well, this is my very last Aunt. I know where my mind will be today. She truly was the kindest person I have ever met. I don't ever remember her being without a smile. My Brother Jack and I always enjoyed being at her house and eating her delicious food. She made us feel so welcome in our summer visits to play with John and Carl. In the past years I have cherished her letters and cards. May God be with your family and all of your treasured memories.
Love Always,
Arlene (Bird) Snell

No matter how old we are,
Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know,
But her goodness, her caring and her wisdom live on,
Like a legacy of love that will always be with you.
Carl & family, Please know that I am thinking of you.
Christine
