Crafton family I offer my deepest sympathy to you at this time and may the God of tender mercies continue to give you comfort.

In tears we saw you sinking and watched you fade away our hearts were almost broken and we wanted you to stay but when we saw you sleeping so peaceful and free of pain how could we wish you back with us to suffer that again ? It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you when god took you home. Daughters , Son and grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren and friends you bade no one a last farewell God said you were getting weary so he did what he thought best and whispered Come Agnes and take your rest.
