In Memoriam for William Warder Carroll
In loving memory of our father William Warder Carroll who died one year ago on December 7. An open gate at the road's end and a light we cannot see mark the path beyond where our loved one finds happiness and rest. There is comfort in the thought that only a loving God knows best. Sadly missed by his children.
