Brady Lewis Crumpton

Happy Birthday to my son, Brady Lewis Crumpton on Dec. 2nd!
I will never stop thanking God for you!!!

Published in my church Bulletin after Brady died.

Dear First Baptist Friends,

There are no words to express the appreciation I have in my heart for you. Your prayers, visits, cards, food contributions and attendance at my son, Brady's funeral mean more to me than mere words could ever express.

Nor are there words to describe the loss of one you loved so much. How enriched my life has been because I was blessed with being Brady Crumpton's mother. I am a better person today for having been blessed with this most special child to raise. He taught me so very many things, and we learned so much together in our journey of taking him from a 6 pound beautiful baby boy to to a 170 lb. handsome young Christian man. My life is forever enriched because of him. I survive the pain of living the rest of my life on earth without him because he didn't leave me until he handed me a huge bouquet of the most beautiful and precious memories.

When he was a baby learning to walk, I would follow along behind him, ready to catch him should he fall. I did indeed catch him many times throughout his 23 years. This time he fell into the arms of Jesus.
