Dearest Katherine,
Remembering how difficult it was to lose my daddy, I know the pain you are feeling and the void that losing your father will leave. However, I also know our heavenly Father will comfort you, hold you in His everlasting arms and keep you in perfect peace. His grace is sufficient.

Sis Crow & Family,
So very sorry to hear of Bro Crow’s passing. You’re very much in my thoughts and prayers. To coin a phrase Bro Crow used to say in reference to other Saints can now be applied to him: “He has done graduated”. Our loss for now but Heaven’s gain. I look forward to seeing him again, a very good friend and Pastor. With love and many blessings to all- Bro Lloyd
