To all the Taylors,
ReplyDeleteThere are no words that can express the sadness and only prayers that the LORD will be your Comforter in a special way that only He can. We are so sorry for your loss but we have hope that David is at Home with the LORD now and in perfect health doing all the things he loved here.
Our family will always have special memories of David and for many years now and probably always, we can never hear the name "Knucklehead" and not smile and think of David.
Thank you for sharing your son and brother with us at wrestling matches and allowing to consider him a friend. The LORD blessed you with a very special man in David and we will continue to have your family in our prayers for a long time to come.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you all.
Ralph, Shelly and Eric Crawford
