It was a pleasure to meet and take care of Ms Jean
We only knew Mrs. Crawford for the 41 days my Mom was at Givens Health Center, but want to express our condolences to you for the loss of such a lovely lady. Mom joined her for many a dinner in the dining room there. Mrs. Crawford, always with a smile, was so welcoming and pleasant, helping Mom feel at ease. Her piano playing was comforting and a delight to all. We’re so sorry to hear of her passing, and want you to know that even for that brief time, Mrs. Crawford had an influence with her kindness and optimism.
The MacLean family is sending love and prayers to the family of Jean Crawford. We loved the stories Candy shared of her dear , sweet Mother. A glorious and fulfilled life surrounded by a special family and friends.
Dear family, I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Crawford. I always enjoyed talking with her at church and at the gatherings for our mature adults. She was always so sweet and friendly. I know you will greatly miss her here on earth, but what a happy reunion it will be in Heaven. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Family,
I pray God’s immeasurable comfort and peace over you as your celebrate the Homegoing of such a dear one. I did not know her by name but I know her sweet face from seeing her at church and we prayed for her in our prayer group. I know she has left a great legacy to all of you and there will be a jubilant reunion one day!
David,
So sorry to about about your mom passing away. Prayers to you and your family. Mark & Matthew Baldwin
So sorry I was unable to attend the services. Candy and David, your Mom was such a Special Lady! I was always encouraged and blessed by our conversations, and will surely miss those opportunities! Praying for God’s peace for all the family.
Her daughter, Angela, was one of my best friends in high school. I spent so much time at their house. She was a very kind lady. Sending loving thoughts and prayers to David and Candy.
