The first time I met "Momma Crowder" she hugged me and said, "You sure are tall." Momma was one of the kindest Ladies you could count on, and you could feel the love she covered her children with every time you would be in their home. I didn't get the opportunity to see her as much as I would have liked, but you couldn't go for to long without thinking of her with a smile. Christina...Heaven gained one of the most precious gifts to the rank of an Angel the moment she last exhaled. I know Angela agrees with me when I say She will Always be the "fun Momma" we all wanted!! Forever will love You and Charlie, XOXO Katherine (Edwards) Astaneh

Katherine, thank you for your kind words, mom always loved my friends, and most of Ricky's. You were taller than her in the 3rd grade when you came over. I hope I am at least half the momma she was.

Christy and Charlie, I want you to know I loved Eva aka Mom so much. She always made sure to feed me and make me feel like I was part of the family every time I was over. I can't count the number of times I spent the night . Your home became my home . Some summers I spent more time there than any other place. She is praising our Lord and singing with the angels , enjoying that mansion our Lord has made for her. I'm happy to know this and to know she is in no more pain. We will join her one day and give her a hug on the streets of gold. God bless you both as you move to the next chapter of your lives. I love you both so very much . Love, Angela Wilson

Christy Crowder
