To the Wooley girls, I am so sad for your loss of your sweet mama. I know your hearts are heavy. I am currently fighting that ugly flu bug so don’t know if I will be able to make her service, but wanted you to know the Crosby family is thinking about all of you and sends our condolences.

I can’t tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your mother has been a dear friend and extended family member to our entire family. I met her when we first moved LaMarque/Hitchcock 1987 through my best friend Jeannine. She has stayed close with us the last 30 yrs. The Rygaard family has known her for much longer and have fond memories with her as their closest friend and extended family. She will be greatly missed by many but know she was so happy to be rejoined to her best friend and husband James. Jeannine, I love you dearly and cherish our friendship. Prayers of comfort and strength to you each.

Ann – I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew what true heartbreak was until my own mother passed away a year ago, but I surrendered to God and He covered me with His grace and love and healed my pain. He will do it for you, too.
On a lighter note, when I think about your mom, I can’t help but smile and remember the slumber parties at your house in the late 70s. She was right there in the middle of all us girls: laughing, listening to music and just having fun. I’ll always remember her that way.
Kay, Ann, and Jeannine, can’t begin to tell you how much I miss my friend and neighbor. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t look at the house, think about her, and wish that Dottie were still with us. But, I realize that she is in a better place. She was a sincere friend and will be greatly missed. All I had to do was ask, and she would be there for me. I love your mother as a dear friend. Be Blessed!
