I was so shocked to read that Shan had passed. We were recently planning a girls day/night out; I'm so sorry we never got to do this. We were friends in high school and she was a great basket 🏀 player. We'll have a girls day out in Heaven, Shan😞! Prayers for the family...God's Blessings to the family.
Our family moved to Sandy Hook, MS IN 1974 just across the LA. line. We meet so many wonderful people at the church. The Crosby family was one of the first to befriend us. They told us to come to their garden and get fresh vegetables. The Crosby’s, Williams, Askews & Boutwells all became such dear friends to us. Shan became like one of my daughters because she was at our house or Gloria was at her house. All of the kids loved to play together on Williams Hill. I remember one incident where they were running the cane mill. A mule would pull the wheel to press the cane juice out. All the kids wanted to ride the mule. Gloria was riding it and Shan thought it should be her turn. She reached up and yanked Gloria skirt......it was a wrap around and just came off leaving Gloria exposed in her underwear in front of the men. Gloria was so mad at Shan but later they became the best of friends. We always laughed about that memory. We loved Shan and her whole family dearly. We moved back to NC but have kept in touch over all these years and visited as often as we could. When we come now we will miss Shan’s bear hugs and her crooked smile. We will miss you my friend Shan.
Shan is and always will be one of my heroes. She struggled with many of the same issues I do. She was always joking laughing and genuinely fun to be around. When no one else would speak to me she took me in off the streets and tried to show me a better way. I love miss and respect her very much. RIP cousin
My sincere condolences to the Crosby family.. You are all in my constant prayers at such a difficult time.. May you all find comfort through your unwavering faith in our lord.. My love to you all.. Amy Markham Lantier
