Not sure what to say?

Dr. Cross- Just yesterday we learned of Mrs. Cross' passing. Please accept our sincere sympathies for your loss. Such a wonderful person has left us. Both Sandy and I have always enjoyed seeing her each time we had the opportunity, and we are deeply saddened by her passing. I will miss her warmth and tremendous sense of humor. Hang in there, you have lots of people who love and care about you. - Sincerely

I did not know my Aunt Aleen, however I've heard wonderful things from my mother about her. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I'm glad I was able to see Aleen again at the family reunion a couple of years ago, and mourn her loss. She was a lovely woman and the remembrances here are a testament to the wonderful friendships and memories she leaves behind.

Although I hadn't seen Aleen for many years, I feel truly priviledged to have known her. I worked with her at Sparrow CCU for a brief time 30 years ago and we became fast friends. She was indeed an admirable person and will be greatly missed.

She and cousin Anita did an unbelievable amount of work putting together a family history that I treasure. She was a...

I too remember the Teeny Tiny Woman, and all the loving work Aleen did to preserve the family history. I've never heard anyone speak but words of affection for her. My love to the family and condolences to the Teyssier-Crosses.

I remember Aunt Aleen reading to my daughter, Abby the "teeny tiny woman". She was so kind and gentle, and sticks in my mind always. The memory of Aunt Aleen is sweet and kind.

I will always remember Aunt Aleen for her kindness and enthusiastic spirit. When I was a little girl visiting Aunt Aleen and Uncle Aureal and all the cousins, I remeber how special she made me feel, even with five children of her own needing her time and attention! You can tell what a great job she did as a mother when you look at her children living caring lives of service and pursuing a wide range of life pursuits. Aleen was my mother, Trudy's, sister, and so I grew up knowing the strong...
