She was such a wonderful person, as well as a blessing to me as a mentor in school. I only wish I had kept in touch with her longer. May she rest in eternal peace, but may her light continue to shine through those who knew her.

Lallie was such a sweet soul and a true joy to be around.

My beautiful and sweet Aunt is finally at peace. She taught me so much and I will always hold her in my heart. All my love, Kathy

Condolences to Tom, my cousins from Lallie, my mom and the brothers, and all who loved Lallie. Her ability to forget herself in laughter brought joy we otherwise would not have known and made life better for all of those whose hearts she touched. I am grateful for the love and moments you shared with me. Rest in peace.

On behalf of Franklin Heights Church, we are very sorry to hear of Mrs. Crim's passing. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. At the same time, we rejoice in the promises of God.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I remember the time we went to the art museum together. Slowly walking through admiring each piece, our eyes catching the same details. You and I appreciated art in the same way. I wish we could have shared more artistic experiences together. Love you always. Your granddaughter, Tasha

I will dearly miss but never forget her gentle soul and vibrant spirit!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
