Meeting you just once was all that was needed to experience the character and strength you possessed as a role model to your family and friends. It became obvious to me through experiencing your Snyder family that you passed these traits on to your children and grandchildren.

Dad,
Thank you for giving me everything you could and being there when I needed you. Somehow you raised and educated four children in a tiny house with a lot of patience. I think I inherited some of that from you. Mom can take care of you now.
Make some room for us when our time comes. And whether you like it or not, I'm bringing some of my pets along.
See you soon,
Love Jackie
