    His beautiful daughter Marilyn (God Bless, Rest in Peace) was my bestest friend. Together shared a lot of memories with the fam..boy, it is big! All of you will always have a special place in my heart. Why I practically grew up with you?! Momma Crosby is the best baker in the whole world! AND "Bill" Crosby, well he was a "Kick in the pants!" Cherish your family always; you only have one. I'll miss all the stories he used to tell..God Bless Colleen C
