To the Wallace Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Though we did not know Deacon Patricia intimately, we met her and Deacon Alton many years ago during a marriage ministry conversation at ASBC. We enjoyed the energy that this beautiful couple shared between each other. And, we valued the words of wisdom that they shared with everyone that evening. The Wallace’s spoke of marriage as “seasons.” They said that during a marriage, couples go through seasons (summer, fall, winter and spring.) Some seasons may last longer than others and the seasons do not always come in order. Each season represents a different stage, filled with different challenges and rewards. But the seasons are always connected…and, as a couple, you grow from each of them. We are deeply sorry for this extreme loss and want to extend our sincere condolences to the family. We wanted to especially send our love and thoughts to Deacon Alton. We cannot imagine how deeply painful this must be for him. The love that this couple shares, is love that transcends space and time. It inspires others. And, we will ever forever be admirers of their love story. Sincerely, Ray and Melissa Crawford XOXO...
