We send our heart-felt condolences and most sincere love to all of you. Knowing there are no words to ease the pain, we simply say we love you and are praying for you. We also understand to some degree the pain you feel, but God understands your emotions the best. Lean and depend on Him as well as all of us. We are a big clan, so reach out to us when you feel up to it. We are here for you. Your Jones-Crummer cousins and Aunt Barbara are praying your strength and love you very much. Psalms 91
