He only takes the best God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put His arms around her and whispered, “come with me.” With tear filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away. Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. “Thank You” Richard, Shane & Roberta, Wendy and Lori along with their families would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of support, beautiful flowers, delicious food, visits, phone calls and cards following the loss of a beautiful wife, mother and Nana, Carol Howell.

Janice Sanderson, we thank you for the beautiful solo and hymns. Thanks also to Glenys Rott and Paul Martens for the lovely music. Thank you to all who helped with lunch, to Gerald Sanderson and Garry Packard as well as anyone who helped in any way for the memorial service.
