Our hearts go out to you, Carol and all your family. We had hoped to drive down for the funeral but find we are not up to a road trip. God will comfort you at this time and you will be our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to seeing you at Moose Lake soon. Love from us

My deepest condolences to all - such a shock so soon after Lynn's passing. Carol - I can't imagine your loss. I am holding you close in my heart and praying for your courage and strength in this time of sorrow. Love, Teri
Tim and Paula,
