I was saddend to learn of Mrs. Crabtree's passing. However, a smile came to my face thinking of times at I was at Cliff and Janice's house. They were both wonderful Christians, though we will always miss them, that now dwell in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
It's my prayer that Carol and the extended family somehow find with their grief the same smile as I had when we know we'll all meet again someday. God bless the family.
