To Tom and Family, I will always cherish the many years that I have known you and Jo Ann, especially my years at CHS and at Duffield Elem. School (when Jo Ann was principal) and at Slocum Elem. School(when you were principal). It has been a privilege to have known Jo Ann and greatly admired her and you for keeping the love alive that you share with each other and your children. I will surely miss her. She is a guardian angel now and is keeping you all safe. My deepest condolences.. Rita Schmidt

I didn't know Mrs. Croci, but knew from seeing Croach and she together at church that she was a beautiful wife and mother. Tom, the love you showed for her whenever you spoke of her was an inspiration to me when I was looking to marry. Your love for her was evident and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of your very great loss.

~"When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above."
