Dear Crouch Family: It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much. We are reminded in the Bible that God sees our pain and sorrow and has promised that soon death will be done away with…swallowed up forever.(Isaiah 25:8) He will mend our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again.(John 6:40) I hope in the days ahead as you reflect on Joy’s life, and the wonderful memories left behind, that you will also find comfort in God’s promises to us for the near future. I am so sorry for your loss.
Condolences to the family
Dear David, Timothy, Rosie and Ronnie,
Please know that my heart is saddened to learn of the loss of your mother. We had a very special relationship (all of us) many years ago and it still brings me great joy to think of the fun we had on our outings and picnics. You were all very little and you have no idea how much you gave me that prepared me to raise a family and do the work that I do. You will always hold very special places in my heart. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. My mother, brother and sister send their condolences, too, as do my own children and grandchildren. God is always good and always loving and merciful. Your Mom is with God and you are in His loving care. Think only of good and fond memories and pass along all the good things you learned from your Mom. She will always be with you, as will my love and prayers. Love, Ted Hanley (409) 682 6218
