My heart is broken. I thought we had more time. Although, I’m happy to have been a small part of your life dedicated to Jehovah. You were such an inspiration to me and the congregation. I understood patience, from watching your life! Your undying love and devotion to your wife April and family, was stellar. Go rest and very soon, like the angel told Daniel, “you will stand up for your part”, in the 1k year reign of Christ. I can’t wait to see you again, healthy and full of life! I’ll do my part in being there for April. Love Always! Your friend -Jeanine Crawford
