Mr. Crabtree and Billy:



My condolences go out to you and your family. I never had the blessed opportunity to meet your mother and grandmother, but I did have the grace of meeting two fine men that she has brought into my life and I thank God for that. Mr. Crabtree I was one of your tenants and Billy we still have contact every now and then here at work DCHD. I pray that God continues to bless you with her presence at all times, may you find JOY in her memories. GOD BLESS YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

Mrs. Crabtree was a light in this world that will never burn out. She touched so many people with her wonderful zest for life. I know my life is a lot brighter for having known her. May God bless all the family, and may they have peace knowing she is in a much better place. I know heaven is full of laughter.



Love,

Yvonne

Richard, Tommy, Billy, Jimmy and your families...

There are some people one thinks of as always being there. Your Mother, to me, was one of them.

We "Miller girls": Mary, Kay, Judy, and I are deeply saddened to learn of her death. She was a strong and beyond remarkable woman who always seemed capable of finding humor in life's absurdities.

I have fond memories of her laughter

and loved hearing her and my own Mother talking and laughing (most often about your Father's and Jack's antics).

It's a lesser world without her. I'd like to think she's in a better place - and I'm certain she and my Mother will have much to talk about.

With deepest regret and sincere sympathy,

Brenda (Miller) Webb
