The Blessings of a Big Family

 

The blessings of a big family are only seen by a few A few of the chosen ones that God has given this blessing too

The blessings are so numerous it’s hard to even start to number or to name them but they all hold a place in the heart

The heart of every person in a big family is unique it’s uniqueness makes us special and should not be critiqued

The memories that are made are more precious than gold from babies to weddings from young and to old

From grandparents to grandchildren and everyone in between the many special relationships that are built and could have never been foreseen

Thank you God for my big family I will treasure through the good times and bad the memories could not be measured

Thank you God for birthdays, simple get-togethers and even the tears for I pray that these blessings last many, many more years

To have a big family can be a lot of work, not just play but life is too short so I THANK GOD FOR MY BIG FAMILY TODAY!

WE SORROWFULLY INFORM YOU OF THE PASSING OF CHARLES JAMES CROWDER, JR., OF ARDMORE, PA.  CHARLES WAS VERY CARING, CHEERFUL AND A HARD WORKING PERSON. CHARLES WAS A MEMBER IN THE EARLY YEARS OF OUR PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER WILSON LAKE HERBERT FAMILY REUNION CIRCLE. COUSIN AND FRIEND, RALPH HERBERT, SR., WHO INITIALLY CONTACTED THE SHERATON HOTEL AT 17TH & JFK BLVD ABOUT A CONTRACT, STATES CHARLES WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING OUR CHAPTER SECURE EXCELLENT HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS AT THE FIRST PHILADELPHIA WILSON LAKE HERBERT FAMILY REUNION WHICH WAS IN 1975. HE WAS EMPLOYED AT THE SHERATON HOTEL AT THE TIME AND NEGOTIATED WITH MANAGEMENT, STATING THAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND HISTORICALLY WAS NOT A BUSY TIME FOR HOTELS BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE TRAVELED TO THE SHORE AREAS AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY NEEDED OUR BUSINESS. WE GOT A VERY GOOD DEAL. THIS BECAME ONE OF OUR FUTURE BARGAINING POINTS FOR PHILADELPHIA.  CHARLES WAS THE LOVING BROTHER OF CARMITA C. POE AND SHEILA C. MOBLEY.  HE IS VERY FONDLY REMEMBERED BY OUR FAMILY.
