Dear Fowler Family'
I'm so sorry that I unable to attend the celebration of the life lived by my dear friend, MS Velma.
To the family, she loved you all so much. She lived her life for the glory of God. I shall never forget the impression she made on me and the inspiration she was to live a life to the honor and glorify our Savior and Lord.
Because of her love for God and his word, I will be making a donation to the Gideons in her memory.
My love to you all. Thelma Crutchfield

I hope you know how much she meant to me and how much I loved her and all of you.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
