Baker Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers during this hard time.
Bill & Carol, the first time you made your donation first pick up at our store, I instantly knew you had a good soul. I looked forwards to you coming and chatting briefly and always gracious when faithfully picking up the Churchs donation. I always enjoyed seeing you. Now rest in the arms of our savior, may peace and the eternal love of our Savior Jesus be your reward. God Bless you Carol & your family. Donna Adams from Madison Giant Eagle.
