To the Crowl family and friends we are so sorry for the loss of our dear friend Mike. He always had a smile on his face and positive things to say about everyone. The last time I was in Toledo we got together like we always did. Mike brought up the fact that we had been friends since we were in the first grade together at Trilby school.We will see you in Heaven one day. With love your friends Bud and Stephanie Gilbert Atlanta Ga
