I shall always remember Mrs. Mc Crudden and our car pooling days at Mount St Joes Academy. She was also great friends with my parents Bud and Mimi Quinn. The Judge and my Dad went to law school together and I believe they used to all pal around together (from the 50's). We were neighbors and grew up with the Mc Crudden Kids. She was always the kindest and sweetest person. Always a kind word for everyone. She also had a great sense of humor and a lot of patience. She always was intersted in what you were doing! God Bless the Mc Crudden family in their loss but I think she is seeing old friends in Heaven. She will be missed.

I count myself among the legion of people who greatly admired Mrs. McCrudden. She made me feel welcome, valued and important whenever I was in her presence. It was a blessing and a life-lesson to have known her.
