To My Beloved Crawley Family,

Words can not adequately state the loss of this beloved mother that my heart can truly express. Yet, this beloved mother has touched my heart and will occupy a special place inside of me. Death has no victory or sorrow that I should grieve, but the glory of the Lord has prevailed unto eternal life for His glory to this beloved woman who shall forever walk in Your presence. Thank you my Father (God), for You have chosen well; for Your wisdom is supreme. May You receive all the glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen

Dear Mr. Crawley, Matthew and Michael,

I remember Mrs. Crawley fondly--especially her deadpan humor and the many winks we shared at St. Phillips. I hope that happy memories of your lives with her will help ease your sense of loss.

Best. Jo(ellyn) Craig
