I OFTEN THINK OF WHAT EDY SAID:
"MOTHER IS CALLING HER CHILDREN HOME ONE BY ONE". SHE CAN NOW REJOICE IN GOD'S LOVE AS WELL AS GRANDMA'S ARMS. I WILL MISS HER EXHUBRENCE FOR LIFE.

I will forever remember you Aunt Edy for leading us in singing carols at the Snyder Christmas parties. Thank you Jesus for granting her eternal peace.
