So sorry to hear of the loss of your precious mother. I worked with Mrs. McCruter for over 20 yrs. at Head Start. She was a gracious lady who inspired all who came in contact with her. I especially admired her common sense approach to the many problems she had to deal with during her years as Education Director. She will be missed by all who came in contact with her. My deepest sympathy to all family members. Our loss here on earth is heaven’s gain. May God give you comfort with all the wonderful memories you have of her.
Sincerely, Judy

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear mother. She was a wonderful lady, a strong mentor and a true woman of God. She touched and changed so many lives and I know that she sits at her Masters feet where she will continue to watch over her family. It was truly my honor to call her “Mama”….she was my friend.
