A special life has passed from sight... Embrace the memories that will comfort you. Because of Martin's passion for the game many looked to him as a great player. May the God of comfort be with his family and friends during this difficult time in your lives. It is refreshing to know that God's word speaks of a time when all sorrows will be gone and that mankind will live in beautiful surroundings having nothing to fear no pain or sorrow. Isaiah 65:17, 21-24.

Diane also suffered with Hodgkins Disease and died at only 32.
The wonderful Richard Doocey was also her Oncologist.

Our family have been constantly thinking and praying for Martin during these last few years.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Lorraine and all the Crowe family.
We have walked your path with you,in particular, the last few months.
