To the Family; Pye and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy. Gayle and I grew up together and although we hadn't seen each other much since school,whenever we did see each other it was just like old times,talking about all the things we did in school. She is at peace now and no longer suffering. My heartfelt condolences are with you. Love Debbie (Hamilton) Crewe and Pye Crewe
