To the Crowther Family: I was saddened by the passing of Tyrone. My fondest memory of him is when he sat and broke bread with me during the home going celebration for my cousin, Vera Miller, at Pilgrim Baptist Church. It had been a while since we had seen one another but he really uplifted my spirits as we reminisced old times. You will be in my prayers as you go through the process of healing. Continued Blessings
