Heaven's Kiss
In Memory of Charles W. Crane
Father, brother, uncle, son
Grandfather great, and husband to one.
Worker, tinkerer, giver, reader,
In his way a quiet leader.
Well informed, dabbling Mr. Fix-it
Quick with a hand or word of wit.
Returning now to his loved Maker,
Eager to meet life's giver and taker.
This unorthodox man will be greatly missed
But we'll weep not for his joy at heaven's kiss.

Thankful to have had the opportunity to be around him a little. Able to see him in his son's and family. Loved his smile and welcoming spirit. He shared his name with my Dad and now they can meet in Heaven. Love and prayers going up for all of you. Cherish the memories and they will become lasting treasures. Until Jesus Christ calls us home.
