“In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth
lasts beyond departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things she touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. She lives on in your life and in the lives of all others that knew her.”
This quote by Andrea Patri says so much. I loved your mother, who was my Alpha Xi Delta sorority adviser and of course, as the wife of my dear, dear, Professor Crosby, your father. I will miss her so much at Theta Alpha Phi breakfasts. God Bless you all, may you carry on her wonderful legacy.
