My husband and I wanted to send our sincere condolences to the family and dear friends of Charles. Mr. Crawford's obituary caught my attention, because not only does my grandpa live in MO, but he and myself included, spent a good chunk of our lives in Joliet, IL. It is so heart breaking when we lose a loved one in death. Even though they have experienced so many things, we know in the back of our mind that almost 100 years of history, experiences, joys, stories, etc. went with them. Thankfully though, or God is giving us such a wonderful privilege in the future. That of seeing our loved ones again. A time when they will be happy and healthy. For instance Isaiah 33:24 points out how one day no resident will say "I am sick". And 1 Corinthians 15: 24-26 brings out how soon the "last enemy, death, will be brought to nothing" or destroyed. Which will be a wonderful day indeed. All in all, please know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time, and we hope that you are able to get plenty of rest as well. With love, The Wilds
