I know it is so hard to lose your soul mate and best friend. My Mom was my best friend next to Ray.

Dear Faye & Family,
I am saddened to hear of the C.R. passing away. I was always in awe when I would see the two of you together. If there ever was a couple that loved their mate with every breath, it was the two of you.

I'm sure that there will be sad days, lonely days and days ahead that you will think the gray clouds are never going to lift. However, if you rely on God to pull you through that darkened valley, He promises us to do so. Also, keep those happy times that you both shared a vivid memory; that will certainly bring a smile to your face and a song to your heart!

Take care, and know that you are not alone in the loss of such a precious man, everyone that ever knew him was touched by his geniune personality.

God Bless Each Of You,

John Williams

Dear Fay,
Growing up with Keith,Sharon and Jimmy, you and C.R. were always a part of my life. I'm so saddened about his passing, but I know your wonderful memories of him will live on. He was always good to us boys, and gave us guidance when we needed it. I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Faye & family,
I am so sorry to hear that you've lost such a wonderfully Godly person. May you be comforted by knowing that he's with his lord and savior and is enjoying the beginning of his eternal life! That knowledge is what has comforted me since the loss of my daddy. I always think of you all and am praying for you all during this time.

Dear Faye and family, I was so sorry to hear of CR's death. It seems as if it were only yesterday the two of you, and Charlotte and O'Neal Scott were dating, and spending time at Annette's house in Springfield. And of course, I was always there trying to keep up with the big girls. Keep your memories alive, and I pray that God will give you peace.

May 3, 2011

Rest in peace CR, tell O'neil and Alton that I miss going to Harvey's Landing on hot summer days as teens.

Dear Faye and family,
I was sorry to hear of C.R.'s death. Thinking back on you two and Charlotte and O'Neal Scott, spending time at Annette Altman's house when you were dating seems like such a short time ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.

Sending our heartfelt sympathy and prayers. C.R. was a wonderful man of God, he modeled it every day in his life, it showed in his dealings with others and in the way he cared for his family. He will be sorely missed here, but heaven is definitely a better place now. We are only a phone call away if we can be of any help at all.
With much love,
Matt and Angie Trull

Dear Faye and family,
I cannot believe that C.R. has been called home. It seems God is slowly weeding out His children for the peace and glory that awaits them. I have known you all for so long - every since going to the Nazerene church in Bloomingdale. I am so sorry for the pain that you all are feeling right now, but know that he is at peace. I can see him, momma, daddy and Jan all singing together in the choir up there - remember all the songs we used to sing together in church. Just wanted to let you know that you are being thought of by all of us Blake children. We loved you both so much, I still remember when we stayed with you when Kathy had to have surgery. seems like it was yesterday. Just remember, he is there waiting for you and will be always. I love you. Vanessa Blake

We are so saddened by CR's death. He was a wonderful man.
I recall our time together when he and I helped his Dad remodel the garage apartment for Ray and me to live in back in 1971. He will be missed as well as his wonderful parents. He is now in heaven singing with his parents.God bless you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. CR's passing. He was a extremely sweet man that I will never forget. Your entire family has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I love all of you so very much. CR will always hold a special place in my heart. It never failed everytime I saw him he would tell me that he loved me everytime we parted ways (as if I was one of his children) We all know he is no longer suffering and that he up in heaven looking down on us now. He is at peace with Keith and Dell now.
