Please accept our deepest condolences to the Croft family. My last words with Paul at our family reunion in Ringgold. We spoke in remembrance of my mother and father Mack, and Charlotte Hudgins sharing our loving memories. Paul expressed nothing but respect for not only myself but my mother and father as well. I hope he understood the great respect I've always felt for him.

Rest in peaceful slumber Paul, and we keep you in our hearts in remembrance of Paul, and the family he leaves in his legacy.

In loving respect Michael and Petra Hudgins family ❤️❤️❤️❤️🛐🛐🛐🛐
