My sympathy to you, Paul, Annette, Arlie, Mary and your families. Peter and I cherished our friendship with your dad and mom. Dave and Mame were a true Christian man and woman. The word of God was not only spread by them it was demonstrated, too. Love to you all.

Paul, Annette, Arlen and families: I want to express my sympathy in the passing of your mom. I also want to express my gratitude for the kindness your mom and dad showed my mom at PR in Lawrence. They set a loving example for all of us.

Dear Family Crabb:
It is with fond memories of Dave and Mamie that we write these condolences. I, Carl, use to do church services at PR in Lawrence and a Bible study that Dave was in. They were two people obviously in love. They attended our 50th wedding celebration at the Mustard Seed Church across the street (now called Rev City Church). Now they are together for eternity. What a privilege it is to know the Lord and to experience all of His blessings, here and throughout eternity. Well done, good and faithful servants; enter now into the Lord's rest. Carl and Joyce

Dear Crabb families, I am so sorry for your loss. I think the world of your mom (and dad) and regret losing touch with them. They were surrogate parents to so many youth, including me through church, Sunday school, church camp, and the electric shop. They made all of us feel welcomed and loved. Thank you for sharing your parents with us! With deepest sympathy, David and Mica, Gastonia, North Carolina (millsdav@aol.com).
