    Gary, Kelley, and Caryn, You all have our love & prayers. We will always miss sweet Carol & remember Carol's happy, down-to-earth spirit. She was always smiling & laughed so easily. She was so welcoming to me (Tanya) when I married Brad & joined The Rendall Family... that meant the world to me! She was quick to share her recipe for "Merry Ole' Soul" ..one of our favorites! We are going to make that in the next few days in her honor. We will be praying for each of you & the deep hurt you feel. We will be asking our sweet Jesus to wrap His arms of comfort around you & carry you through the days to come. We hope you all will sense His love & presence. Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." In Him & Love Always, Brad, Tanya, Brooke, Hannah, & Nash Rendall
