Throughout the years and the many wonderful exchanges of friendship and fellowship, my family has had the opportunity to share a great relationship with Tiny and her entire family. It is with a heavy heart we read this news. It is, however a comfort to know Tiny will be above with the rest of the Angels. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends as they remember, celebrate and cherish Tiny's life. May God be with you and keep you all in his hands. Jerry Crawford and Family.

God Bless Each and Everyone of you. I had not seen Tiny in a long time. But I remember as if it was yesterday; she always made me laugh and always had a smile. She will always be remembered.
Keep your heads up and hold onto God's Unchanging Hand; he will see you through it all.

Its been several years since I saw her last, and had been many prior to that. Tiny still remembered me as I her from our school days. That wide beautiful smile was still gleaming. I was shocked yesterday when a friend from the area called to inform me of Tiny's untimely death. To the family, may GOD continue to be the tie that binds and guides you through this difficult time. Celebrate her life for the remainder of yours. She was an unforgettable gem!
