Hi Cross Family-

I just wanted to take the time to say that my hearts go out to each one of you but know that God's got it and He will give you the strength and inner peace, just ask Him for it!

I have been a best friend to Angela for over 20 years and I looked at Mr. Cross like my dad. We truly grew up together and I have fond memories of him and will keep him in my heart forever.

Luv you always and you have my support whenever you need it.
