Corinne and I loved seeing our Spring City neighbors Janet & Harold Knechtel any opportunity we had. Janet was a beautiful person with a spirit of love and affection, as her positive demeanor was so infectious. We will miss her wonderful smile, and will pray for Harold during this tough time. With love from Freeman & Corinne Doster.
