Condolences

Dear Mrs. Crowder,
I was very sad to learn of your loss. Mr. Crowder was a gentleman in the truest sense. He was a loyal Christian who lead by example in such a quiet way for the 30 years I knew him at Ocran Church. I treasure the pieces of furniture he refinished for me even more for the care and attention he gave them. May you find comfort in the fond memories of your many years together.
Sincerely,
Barbara Lewis

I cannot remember a time when I walked in church throughout my young life and did not see Hugh Crowder. He was part of the fabric of the church and one of the best men I have ever known. He will be remembered with a tear and a smile.

With sympathy,
Doris Leonard Pritchett
