It was put in my spirit to Google Fannie Crook because periodically I have been calling and never would get an answer. I couldn't leave a message because the mailbox would be full.

I was saddened to see that she made her transition in July. My family and I would like to send our belated condolences to the family. We will continue to keep you all lifted up in prayer.

Extending my condolences and prayers to the family during these times of bereavement. So sorry I am out of the city and can't be there to express this in person. Your mother was a loving and caring mother who dedicated her life to her family. Her main thoughts were for her children. I know it's going to be difficult being without her but remember she's in a better place and she's not suffering anymore. Be strong and know that God is still on the throne and in charge. Call on Him for strength and guidance and He will direct you. Call me anytime, if needed. If I am in town, I'll be right over- if out of town, will be there as soon as I can.
