Our thoughts and prayers go out to each member of the Crisco family. When I visited her in the nursing home she always had a smile when talking with her. She’s in God’s arms now and will be watching over her children and grandchildren. Use all your warm memories and God’s love to help you get through your loss of a wonderful mother and grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Lonnie, Kenny, Nancy and All the Family, I want to express my sadness of the loss of your Mother. Although we all know that she is at peace and not suffering, it still doesn’t make it any easier for those still here that’s going to be missing her. No one will ever be able to fill the hole in your heart right now, but it will get a little easier as time goes on. You are all in my prayers. God Bless You All. Love Debbie (Russell’s Place)

Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss! Jane was one very special person to me. My evenings with her and our “good coffee”meant more than you can even imagine. Her jokes and smiles and jolly laugh were all joy to my ears. I have no doubt she is running all around in heaven saying don’t cry for me I am fine! She was a special lady and I feel so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross and I was able to call her my friend! Never a night went by on my last med pass did I not say, I love you and goodnight and she always returned the jesture! She LOVED all of you….never ever doubt that for one second! May God’s arms wrap around you and comfort you!
