    Kathy Crawford was looking forward to selling her wares at the Buttons and Bows Arts and Crafts Show for the first time this year, but it wasn’t to be,

    Her friend, Susan Brunkow, ended up operating Crawford’s booth on Saturday, taking over after Crawford died of cancer three weeks ago.

    Brunkow met Crawford at the Cancer Companions support group made up of Christian women who gather to assist one another as they battle cancer. After Crawford’s death, Brunkow and others decided to run a stand at the 44th annual event in her honor.
