Praying for family and friends.
Deepest Sympathy…
Steve, Naomi and family, my thoughts are with you. I pray peace, comfort, rest and remembrance of wonderful memories for you all.
Steve & Naomi and family
you all are in our thoughts and prayers!
May the peace and comfort of God flood your hearts.
Heartfelt Sympathy to family and friends
Carol,
I know your heart is heavy with your loss. I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.
To have been blessed with such a wonderful man for husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather is truly ‘beyond all that could be asked for or imagined.’ May that Ephesians 3:20 knowledge carry you all through with great comfort in the days ahead until you are all together again in eternity.
Dear Crymble family, please accept my deepest sympathies. I am very sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death can leave us with feelings of sorrow and grief. But there is a beautiful hope we can look forward to. Isaiah 25:8 says, ‘He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.’ So not only will Almighty God eliminate death, but he will remove the feelings of sadness that come from losing someone we love, and replace those feelings with comfort and hope.
Steve and Naomi, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you strength, rest, and comfort.
‘And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:7
My deepest sympathy to the family of this great man. May his memory live on in your hearts as they will warm you on the coldest of days. Gods blessings to all his family as they learn a new way of life without him.
My love and prayers to his Daughter Carol whom I’ve never met in person but she has touched my heart all the way to Minnesota.
Deep sympathy for your loss.
Linda and family,
I love to hear about the faithful life of one of God’s adopted children. Your father’s heart to see people know the One True God just amazes me. Thank you for all of your faithfulness. Praying that all the things your father did would produce beautiful fruit and that he is with Jesus now hearing how many people’s lives he touched and didn’t even realize. Someday you all will see the results too. Praising the Savior all the day Long!! I am sorry for your sadness though. Praying you all will be comforted.
One of the greatest and and most dedicated Christians that I ever
knew. It was a great blessing from the Lord just to be one of his friends.
This is a man and a brother in Christ, that loved the Lord and lived for
Him. I will see him again when I get to Heaven and have the blessing of
shaking his hand.
How we thank God for His faithful servant!
Pastor & Mrs. Crymble prayed for us, encouraged us, and supported us throughout our 40+ years of overseas missionary work. What a blessing they were’?not only to us, but to the many who were touched by our ministry. We look forward to renewed fellowship with Pastor Crymble in glory.
Meantime we pray that God will surround you with His love and fill you with His peace and comfort during these days of adjusting to life without one who was so precious to you. Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us, and part of His preparation process is populating heaven with those we love.
‘The memory of the righteous will be a blessing’? (Proverbs 10:7).
With our love and prayers for all of you,
Bob & Sandy Barber
We recently heard of Pastor Crymble’s passing. He was such a blessing to me as I served at Grace Baptist Church in Ramsey. He was very wise and it was obvious that he loved the Lord completely. We are praying for Mrs. Crymble and family, that God will cover you with His peace and love during this time.
Lee, just received your letter. Our thoughts go out to you during your recent loss.
David was instrumental in teaching & leading by example how to reach out to those unfortunate. He encourage me for several years to go to the Rescue Mission in New York City during 1987,88 & 89. Who knew (except God) that I would be working at the Winston-Salem Rescue Mission some 30 years later. God Bless you and you family –
