Community Yard Sale for the Carroll Family

I think most of you are already aware of the recent passing of our neighbor, Steve Carroll. He, his wife Jenny, and their 3 kids have lived in our neighborhood for 6 years. Their kids go to Antelope with many of our kids. They are also on the rolls of our ward and belong to our community family.

This last month, I've seen amazing compassion and action by sisters in our community in Jenny's behalf. Thanks for showing us what sisterhood is all about. Jenny needs our love and support and it's an inspiring thing to be a part of... participating in our little army for this family.

September 12 we will be holding a community yard sale to raise money for the Jenny and her children. I hope we can all find a place to participate. Our purpose is partly to help the Carroll's financially in whatever way we can, and partly to show Jenny that she is not alone, that we are her sisters, and we're here when she needs us. Please let me know how you can help miriamwang@comcast.net We still need a place to store donations the week leading up to the sale, so if anyone has a cleaned out (or partially cleaned out) garage and you don't mind parking your car in the driveway for a week... please let me know. :) Thanks.
Miriam
