Thank you for so many memories through the years. As I slide with my kids, in the snow, or gather and have delicious goodies like Mrs Crawford made, playing darts, dancing with you at weddings, camping etc you'll always be with me and your spirit, excitement, and kindness has extended into my family over the year in how you were. You have always been welcoming of everyone. Hugs to you, Mr. Rick Crawford and give hugs to Audrey Crawford and R Dwayne Crawford from Roselle xoxox
I am so happy that you were posted and had a home on McGill Ave on the end unit we lived at, we never would have met! I wouldn't change a thing for we never would have met your family and extended family throughout the many years!!
