Yesterday Cathy’s sister called saying their grandma was not doing well. She passed away during the night. I just returned from taking Cathy to the airport for the funeral and time with her family in St. Louis, Missouri and Industry, Illinois.

Mary Snyder lived a good life and finished well. She followed Jesus and gave much of her life working as her church’s secretary. Cathy has a lifetime of fond memories with her, and I have almost 20 years of them. She was the only great grandparent Andrew and Audrey really knew. We will miss her.
