Stephen Crowder, who lost his wife of 20 years to ovarian cancer in 2008, was greeted by the unthinkable when he returned to the home he’s renovating in Spokane Valley on Tuesday. A box containing Nancy Crowder’s ashes was among the items stolen by burglars during a break-in earlier this week. Stephen Crowder said the theft of her remains, among other items valued in the thousands of dollars, is the hardest to comprehend. “It’s almost like she died all over again,” Crowder said. “Because she was gone unexpectedly, and now she’s gone unexpectedly”/ Kip Hill , SR.

Question: Every time I think I seen how low an individual can stoop to hurt another individual, a two-bit thief like the one who stole the ashes of this man’s wife comes along. Thoughts?
