Condolences for the family of “William Crosby”

Condolence from Virginia Hollins on October 3rd, 2017 7:11 am

I hope that our Lord brings you and your family the much-needed peace during this sad time. My condolences to you and your family.

Condolence from Kim Dillard on October 3rd, 2017 9:16 am

To the Crosby family, you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. Death is truly difficult for parents, especially when their child had their whole life ahead of them. Romans 6:7 says, “For the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” How is that? Verse 23 of that same chapter says, “For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” May you find comfort in knowing that God promises, no, He guarantees that William will live again!

Condolence from Mary Ervin-Grubb on October 3rd, 2017 9:42 am

May peace and Prayers surround you at this time. To the Crosby Family, I wish this for you. There are no words to express after the loss of a child. We as parents never expect to bury our children. I will fill the air with my thoughts and prayers for all of you through the coming days.
Love is eternal.

Our hearts weep for the loss of one with so much promise in our eyes. But we know that God’s eyes see farther and deeper. He knows that Billy’s legacy will have the same or greater impact than those who live to be 90 or more. In any case he will be sorely missed by all he knew and loved. Our prayers are with you, our family, and please know that we are so sorry for the loss of one so dear. Our 3 sons and grandson, his cousins join him in collecting tennis shoes.

Condolence from Robert and Jacquelyn Cammon on October 3rd, 2017 12:22 pm
