I pray God will comfort and wrap His arms around all of you. I will miss her. She was a great lady.
I extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. Sis. Crotts was always so kind to me. The last time that I saw her was when she attended a benefit singing held on my behalf. How symbolic of the life she lived...I will always cherish her memory. I hate it so bad that I can't attend her funeral but I have to preach a funeral for a 17 year old boy in Morrilton that same day at the same time. May God's Grace Bless You and Keep You. Sincerely, David Downum
