To the Crumpton/Phelps, I was very saddended to learn of Darryls passing. I worked with Darryl at Fairwold School and also attended St. James A.M.E. Church . I knew if Darryl was in church because you could feel his smile anywhere you sat in church. Darryl will be missed but his presence is going to be felt forever. Just remeber Darryl is spreading that infectious smile all over Heaven. Much love to the family.

FOR THE CRUMPTON FAMILY
(In Memory of Darryl Sinclair Crumpton)
The Chariot (Because I Could Not Stop For Death)
By: Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.
We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible.
The cornice but a mound.
Since then 'tis centuries but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
From Brenda Belton Johnson and
Patsy Lewis Wallace

I wanted to cry when I heard you were hurting, but then I stopped and realized I was only feeling sorry for myself. I can't take your pain from you, but at the same time, you aren't asking me to. Your life is a gift to me and I want to give something back. A warm hand to hold, a listening ear. An errand or a meal. You see, anything I can do to help you, is really helping me. We're family and we're all in this TOGETHER!
