To The Family,

The Family is in my prayers.
Ms. Crouse was a woman to be admired. Growing up on Springhill Dr. she always displayed such dignity and we gave her respect. She didn't get upset when Charmaine would let us sneak some grapes off her grapevine. She was a great virtous woman. After my husband passed and trying to raise my kids on my own I often thought about her and the example she showed through her life. I've learned a lot from her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Ma Fannie and Family: I am very deeply sorry for your loss. I will truly miss Grandma she was a wonderful lady who lived her life to the fullest. She was also a great card player and advice giver. You and Pops and the rest of the family are in my prayers....but we all know when it's time to go home the Lord comes for his children and He knows best. If there is any thing I can do do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely Wee Wee and the Childress Family

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Love gives us memories that no one can take. May your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. Psalms 147:3 tells us "He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots." God will give you peace in the days and months to come and will sustain you now. Your family will be in my prayers.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Crouse Family. I only knew Mrs. Crouse for a few months as her nurse, but in those months she grabbed a piece of my heart and became very special to me. I know she is wrapped in the lords arms and is in a much better place. It was a pleasure to take care of her and a joy to meet all of you!!! Take care and may you all be blessed!!!!

To Charmaine and The Crouse Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Myrtle was so much more to me than a friend she was more like family. Growing up I saw Myrtle serving GOD and living according to what she believed and boy could she cook :) I can remember Charmaine and I sneaking pieces of ham and yellow rice as we were heading out the door :). She was a remarkable mother and grandmother, I am sooo blessed to have had her in my life growing up. Myrtle is now in the presence of the LORD and even though it may be a sad time here on earth I know she is rejoicing in the heavens and that brings me comfort. May GOD's peace be upon each of you.
