Guestbook/Condolences

Daughter Tracy and her family, please accept my condolences. This was a very special lady who I will always visualize walking through the halls where Tracy taught. She walked with a purpose, always sporting that beautiful blue eyeshadow and her lipstick applied expertly. She was making a beeline to Tracy’s classroom, and always mentioned where she was going. But she always had time to talk and flash her smile. It’s not hard to visualize her catching up in heaven. There are so many who waited a long time for her. May she Rest In Peace there with others whom she loved.

I am so sad for your loss. Your mom was a great woman, and mother.
I glad she’s not suffering any more and can enjoy being with your dad and other family members.

Dear Crookston Family-
Your mother was the most energized, fun and lovely lady I have known. She raised 7 great kids and had a great legacy. I love that she did Facebook in her 90's! My love and prayers go out to all of her family. Enjoy her memories.

Dear Crookston Family, we are so sorry to read of your sweet Mother’s passing. Bev was always so friendly, positive and kind to everyone. We enjoyed many years of wonderful times with your parents as part of the “Salt Shaker” group. She was adored by many. Best to your family at this sad time. Donna & Kent Yano
