I write this with a heavy heart today as I remember my wonderful aunt Betty. I have so many wonderful memories of her and uncle Stan growing up. Many weekends were spent together as the Crosley clan would go to Mankato shopping or just to "go see Betty and Stan". We were always greeted with a warm smile and of course lots of hugs as we would come through the back door of the store. Even though aunt Betty was busy running things at the store, she always took time for us, and even sneak away to do some shopping with us. Then back to the home they loved for some coffee or supper. These are just some of the many great memories I have of Betty and your dad. I wish I could be with you all on friday, but be sure you are thought of and prayed for during your loss. God's blessings and peace be with you.

The thoughts and prayers of Bethlehem Lutheran in Mankato are with you as you remember Betty, and commend her to Christ our Lord.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. You may not know me but I spent 11 terrific years with your parents and worked side by side with them at Hilltop hardware in Mankato. My name is Kris Schumacher and I loved your parents. They treated me just like I was one of the family..... I learned so many things from both of them and everytime I work in my home, I think back to the hardware store & smile. YOUR PARENTS WERE THE BEST.... I still remember the day that your dad fell off the roof putting Christmas lights up on their home.... I was at home with a new born baby and a 2 year old .... I was asked to come back to work early, to help your mom out at the store... I made arrangements and I was at work at 8 am the next day. I will never forget the smile on her face when I unlocked that gate and walked in. We were like a BIG FAMILY there. Love and kisses to all of you. Kris Schumacher of Eagle Lake MN 507 340 1367.
