I didn't know Mr Crockett, but it seems I knew everyone around him. My Aunt Patsy in Brusly, told me good things about him and that he was from my Moms home. My good friend and neighbor Wade Wilson's sister lives next door and I live just around the corner. It seems many people I know knew him, and all had good words to say about him. That's why I felt I should take the time and send my condolences to the family, and let them know how well thought he was.
Sincerely,
Paul Harrington Haynes Jr.

To be absent from the body is to be present with God! Tonight I light this candle for you. To celebrate a life well lived. To rejoice in The Lord for your salvation. It's a beautiful thing to know that you are resting in The Lord. Though my heart is heavy and I will forever miss you. It's a comfort to know that I will see you again. So this is not goodbye it's only see you later! I know that this Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. I love you Dad and I thank God for you! Your first girl....
