My memory of my cousin is a multiplicity of things, but one thing that I will always remember is; he was a Jokester. He always made you laughed and loved to tease people.  My Father James Sylvester Crawford aka "Uncle Sylves" would bring me and my brother Larry to Slidell to stay a week or two at Cousin Martha's house and Aunt Arthell's house, so we became very close to Brother, Nelson, Patsy and Sister. We lost touch after my Father passed and everybody grew up and went their separate ways.  However, when we saw each other after that time, it was always like the very first day we met.  I could not make the Memorial Service, but "I will always hold him close in my heart." 

I can't believe it is almost a year since you left us. I miss you and Al so much, especially on our birthday. RIP 

Your Niece
Angie

Jason, Damon, Nelson Jr. and your families - I am sorry for the loss of your Dad, my Uncle Leroy. Keep your faith in God and HE will get you through this time of sorrow. I love you all!

GOD BLESS!!

In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no other one can fill. God saw you were getting tired and whispered "Come to me". In tears we saw you sinking and saw you fade away, our hearts were truly broken, we wanted you to stay. "Nelson" you earned your eternal rest, we love you dearly, but we know God loves you best, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best !!!! pearleta and Family.

To Tanya, Jason, and Tumaini - I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Pop. He's at peace, well, and home now. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. May He bring you comfort, encouragement, hope, and His peace.

Life is a journey that everyone travels. and sometimes we're lost in the depths of the night. Yet even in darkness, our hearts will be lifted, tears will be ended, hope will shine bright. For out of the place where our grief is the deepest, up from the valley and on towards the height, through every shadow, we walk in His presence, gently and graciously led by His Light. God's promisesare true and truly meant for you in this sad time 
With Deepest Sympathy

To the family of Nelson Cade, I'm so sorry to hear of your lost. I work with your dad and he was a great friend.  My God bless your family at this time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the Family of Leroy Cade
