You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. Crum was a good and loyal friend to my father during their time in the legislature, and my daddy had much respect for the work that Crum did in his career as a legislator.

Crum Foshee was very good to me and at my young age of 25 made me feel such a part of the Senate family. I have loved he and Cherie for many yeas and shared many, many good times. I love you Cherie and Crum will be forever missed! Lots of love and prayers...Cheryl Perdue Freeman

Crum Foshee was a hero to many folks around Covington County. My mom and dad worked for his farming business for years and he was always a good man and a good friend to them. I remember, going door to door, passing out flyers as a young man, when he was running for State Representative his first time. He left a legacy behind and will be missed by a lot of good friends.
