"I only met her once, and that was when les and I drove from South Carolina and surprise her. I honestly thought that she was a very sweet lady. I do think that we most likely overstayed our visit. I know Les wanted to see her everyday as he was not certain if he would see her again. I pray that she didn't suffer anymore than she was daily when she passed and went to meet Kerwin once again. I wish the best for each and everyone of you. They never are completely gone as long as you hold onto your memories of them in your hearts."
In loving memory of
Sadie Nina Schneider

"May Memories Comfort You, The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land, The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains....... For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. May your memories bring you comfort and keep your loved one close in heart. With my Sympathy, Carla Kay "
