Dear Susan and Richard, you may not know this but I was eight years of age, living with Doris' parents when she was born in Darlington, SC in 1933. (Doris' mother, Willie Crocker, was my sister; my parents had died in 1931.) I continued to live with Doris and her parents for four years,1931-1937, and came to love her as a little sister. She will always be a sister to me rather than a niece. Life on this earth was not very kind to her - the early loss of her husband and this terrible...

Dear Susan, I didn't expect your mom to leave us this soon. I'm still in shock but God knows best. Now there is another Angel to help Him to make all of us a shining example like your mom. She was like a sister to me in so many ways. Doris would come and stay with me and my three little ones every night while my husband Virgil was at USC in Columbia studing for the SC Bar Exam. Every weekend your grandfather, Albert Crocker, would let your mom and Albert, Jr. use his automobile. They...

Dear Richard and Susan and families,
I was sorry to hear the news about your mom. I was thinking of all the fun we had in Woodland Park. She was always good to all of us. Just wanted to let you know we were thinking of you

Dear Rick & Debra,
So sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you at this time.

Dear Susan, Richard and families, Although I knew your Mom for many years, I did not see her often. I know, however, that she was a wonderful, loving and caring, Christian person. Knowing that, we know that she is now receiving her heavenly rewards. My sincere sympathy to you all in your time of grief. My husband was Marshall just to identify myself.

Our deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
Dot was a wonderful neighbor and so good to us. Susan,
we especially want you to know how
much we think of you and your help to your mom
especially these last years of illness that you
watched over her and cared for her.
Our prayers and thoughts are with
you at this time.

I am so sorry Susan. Your Mom is now free of Parkinson's. I hope your thoughts will be flooded with all the good memories.

Susan. I was 9 years old when this sweet, loving, and always caring girl was born. She was the greatest.
