I have no words to express my how sorry, I am for each one of you.
When I close my eyes I can see
Sis Crawford on streets of pure gold, sitting at the feet of the throne, shining in the light of His glory.
I am praying God helps carry each of your sorrows and pain. Even though we know she is not hurting any more, it doesn’t stop us from being heartbroken. Our God is a way maker light in the darkness and I know that He is going to help see you today and in the days ahead of you.
I love each of you so much and I know that Gods got this & Gods got you !!!
So sorry I could not be there with y’all today.
