It's with a heavy heart I compile my memories of you Mrs. Mary into a mere paragraph. The entire Crooms family welcomed & added my siblings and I as though we shared your DNA. I remember your smile, your laugh and your no-no sense parenting. Thank you. You definitely deserved to hear me and many others say that more often. Thank you for sharing your love, light and family with me. I could never tell how much that meant. Thank you for gently nudging me to stay on course and out of trouble. Our conversations were building blocks to the way I move to this day. You will be deeply missed. And to the Crooms family: y'all still stuck with me and my siblings. I'm only a quick message away. Blessings unto you and your families. Lovingly - Tika Tillman

Expressing deepest sympathy in the passing of Mary. We were friends and next door neighbors in Riverside. We shared the same front porch and those were the good old days. We would sit on the porch, talk, laugh and have a good time especially when her mom Ms Annette was was in the mist. Remember when she had her first beautiful baby girl, Tasha and I was delighted when Mary would let me hold her. May all her precious memories be a keepsake forever in your hearts. God bless and keep each and everyone of you.

To the Crooms We take this time to express our personal condolences to the family of Mary Crooms. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family during this time of great sadness. Yes, once again we have entered a period of darkness. When we lose anyone in death, it is like the lights have gone out. Now we find ourselves grieving the loss of someone who we held dear. The lights however will come back on. This will take place because of this wonderful promise that God makes known to people everywhere they reside. The promise is recorded at John 5:28-29 where tells us that He would cause a calling to go forth to those in the grave to stand up in life again. All today can have strong faith in this promise because it serves as a guarantee that the resurrection to life will take place. It will take place because God is the source of life for all things. (Psalm 36:9) Yes, even if a person should die, God has the power and the desire to make persons like Mary, and a great host of others alive again. God wants all to have strong faith in this promised arrangement. For that reason, He has taken the time to preserve nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about the restoring of life that will take place in the very near future. Here is just one such example that is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that all will get a chance to see how these wonderful verses will be applied to Mary, and billions upon billions of persons worldwide. In closing we encourage all to please keep this promise of God near your hearts at all times. Remember that when God makes a promise, it becomes reality. For it is impossible for God to lie. ( Titus 1:2)

Auntie Mary, You will forever be in our heart and there will always be Joy and Laughter from all the memories you left us with. To my Cousins, I love you and I'm sorry for your loss. Please remember that grief is patient and will wait for you. There's no reason to rush the healing process of displaced love that is only intended for the one person who has left this earthly life. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I love you all FOREVER!
