We were besties in high school she was my roommate at BGSU, she was a bridesmaid. We lost touch but got together several years ago. I will miss her, but she will always be in my heart.

Nan Crawford will truly be missed. She was a very talented educator who dedicated her life to working with children with special needs. She had a wonderful ability to connect with children and encourage them to be the best that they could be. She was well respected by fellow educators in schools where she worked and was often sought out by local universities to host college students in her classroom who were training to be future teachers. She was taken far too soon. May you rest in peace dear friend.
