I was in third grade when the Crubaugh family moved here in Sturgis, MI. Pastor Crubaugh was a kind, good, Christian man. His two daughters, Gelene and Cheryl were good friends. I will also be thankful for the warm memories I have of all of them. Mrs. Crubaugh was special too. Cheryl and Gelene may God wrap His loving arms around you during this sad time.

It was our privilege to hear your father preach on several occasions at Kelly Crossing Church of God, Frankfort. He was a mentor of our former pastor, Daniel Miller. He and his wife, Thelma, we're a blessing and inspiration to many! May the Lord give you peace and confidence that he is reunited with Thelma, and enjoying the glory of being in Jesus' presence!
