I want to extend my heartfelt sorrow to Bobby and the Crenshaw family.  Although it has been quite some time since I have seen you I loved Bernice and I can only imagine the pain you must be going through.  Please know that God - in His wisdom - knows where each one of you is right now in your personal stage of grief.  And He can and will give you "beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness...that He may be glorified", Isaiah 61:3.My prayer for you is that you always remember the love of your dear mother, because love never dies.  Would love to hear from you.
