Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

To the Crawford/Horton family, I remember singing on the Gospel Chorus at Mt Hebron and was always a joy to be around, earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal.

Albern Curry

My mom Valerie was one of the managers at Evergreens landing apartments . Later on we became neighbor. Blossoms into more we just neighbors. We was family. There wasn't anything we would do for one until I moved. Everyone I came to Gastonia I would come come see her. I'm truly going miss her.

Cierah Brooks

Cheryl. My childhood playmate. My teenage running mate. My lifelong friend. My world is a little sadder without you in it. A lifetime of shared memories and laughter will keep you close to my heart and ease the sadness whenever I think of you. You've finished the course set before you. You fought the good fight and you kept the faith. Rest now, my dear friend.

I offer my deepest condolences to Cheryl's family and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
