It's hard to believe it's been a year since Crank's passing. I think about him every day. My granddaughters and I often talk about him and remember the good times and all of the laughs we shared. What a great friend he was. We consider Helen and him and their families as a part of ours. R.I.P. my friend until we meet again.

My heart aches after losing such a long time dear friend. Every day since his passing I think about so many great times I've had with him and his wife Helen. My heart is truly broken. It will take a long time to heal from this loss of such a great friend. I am here for Helen as she knows for whatever I can do for her. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a spouse of 46 years. The emptiness of them no longer being here must be so difficult. Everyone please pray for Helen and all of his family and friends.
