My sincere sympathy to the family of Mrs. Crandell. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her. I still have fond memories from my “after-school days at St. Mary’s.” Especially the days when I was able to go out for lunch (sometimes get an ice cream cone from “Highs”) with my Mom and Mrs. Crandell. I still remember Mrs. Crandell joking that her initials used to be “TNT” before she was married. 🙂 I also enjoyed the time our families would visit around the holidays. I know that she will be greatly missed by family & friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sid and the rest of your family. She will be missed. It was always a joy to see your parents sitting under the trees with the Trotts, Mrs Windsor, Mrs Turner, and my grandparents watching the softball games.
