"Update on my dad, Richard Crawford, His liver is failing and we aren't sure how much longer he will be with us. They have moved him to a regular room (321) at the Heart and Vascular Center Augusta. Mom has already said that lieu of flowers she is going to ask that donations be made to the Sam Davis Youth Camp, because dad believes in it so much. He and Stephen were the first ones to really promote the camp. Dad was a Brigade Commander and he and Stephen visited every camp in his brigade promoting the SDYC, the following year in Crawfordville (how appropriate since my maiden name is Crawford) SC had the largest number and of those from SC his brigade had the most.
Dad made it a point to take Stephen with him to every camp so Stephen could talk about how great the program was and how much they learned. It is dads love for all things Southern and his Confederate Heritage that myself, John, my niece Anna, and nephew Stephen will be at the Battle of Aiken, Saturday working, Dad gave us our "marching orders" and we were told to be there to help. He has said how many times he hates he is going to miss it.
Dad's bilirubin keeps going up so he will eventually just go to sleep and not wake up. It could be days, it could be weeks or months, it's all up to when the Lord decides it's his time. In the meantime I ask that you remember us in your prayers.
Thank you everyone for all the support, I love you all. God Bless"

===================================================================
Dixie and I will return for the fifth year this summer. Considering how much Miss Shannon's Dad loved the SDYC, a fitting tribute would be to send your children there this and every summer.
