May 12, 2022 at 4:11 pmFor those of us that grew up with grandparents living out of state, Grandma Snell was our surrogate Grandma. She loved us, and we loved her. I am certain there is a special place in Heaven for her with a front row seat looking down on us to make sure we don’t step out of line. God Bless you Grandma Snell. You made the world a better place.

May 23, 2022 at 7:47 pmShe and her sister Janet were so much fun. I remember Halloween in the Norwood backyard. It was always set up with grills going and Cokes flowing. You sat and sorted your Halloween loot, took a breather and headed out again. For a decade after the new owners disappointed parents and goblins. Smile when I think about her. Lots of trips to Sunlight Pool. I am sorry for your loss.
