    I Pray that all who knew you and will miss you use this time to reflect on their life and give Your life to Christ. For this journey is one we all must take and we like Ambrose don’t know when that will be. GOD tell us to Watch and Pray, we need to be prepared for our Eternal Life with GOD the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT. Prepared for our departure from this world, Rest on the JESUS RETURN!!!

  • Ashley Crittenden Posted September 29, 2022 8:51 AM

    Dad- I’ve known you since I was 5… Ambrose would always talk about you in school.. he literally admired you and thought you were untouchable.. He felt nobody could beat his dad!! when I finally met, you immediately became my dad. You always treated and called me your daughter. I will miss our talks, you telling me how much you love your “Lizzy Boo”, or you always reminding me that my husband owes you 50 cent. I hate our time was cut short; I love you dad. Your love and laughter will always be remembered.

    Love Always,

    Ashley
