Truly, one of the most kindest, most caring, most sincerest and honest people I had ever met. I knew Mr. Crosby and his loving wife through his sons during our school days, and came to know the family well. You always made me feel welcome when I visited your family home. Love to all the family. Everett

He definitely did not want another dog, however the moment he held her in his arms at 8 weeks old she took his heart. The bond him and his little princess finessy as he called her was truly mutual love and affection by his side, she always made him smile

Although our hearts are broken and we will miss having you here so much, we know that you are now at peace in Heaven with Granny Bea.

Rest in Peace Grandad,
Your loving grandsons,

To the family of Sean, I was taken aback yesterday when I heard Sean's name being mentioned at St. Barnabas. I was chatting with him just a few weeks ago on the way into mass and he seemed in good spirits. I had been trying to get in touch with him to let him know about our Mum but his phone was off. We found a lovely photo last week of Sean with our Dad putting the fence up from years ago, he has such a lovely smile. Yet another one of Kilkenny's great gentlemen. I know that he will be sorely missed, my deepest condolences to you all.
