I am sorry to hear of Avis passing. But at the same time am happy for her. I had a long talk with her one time and she didn't want to end up in a nursing home and being a burden on her much loved family. Now she is home with Dick and Nancy. I always enjoyed visiting with her at the store. She was a very nice lady.
It is very hard to lose those we love and am sending hugs and prayers to all the family who loved her. You were her world and she loved you all.

Dickie, Jack and Cindy,
A Corbin neighbor we all loved. Avis was one of those people you just wanted to hang out with. Always fun to chat with her. She lived a good, long life but it's difficult to see her go. Thinking of all of you. Jo

Just discovered your passing. Richard and Avis were friends of my parents Norman and Frances Morrow of Lubbock, Tx. They always spoke very highly of that funny, loving Crumbliss clan. I remember Dickie very well. I hope one of the family will read this and bring me up to date on the Crumbliss family. Larry Morrow 214-215-2635. Thank you and God bless you all.
