Barbara Ann Cross

On October 18, Barbara Cross, 71, born July 10, 1936, known to all including her doctors and nurses as "Grammy", went to Heaven. Many familiar angels came down to embrace Grammy and help walk with her up to Heaven. People preparing Heaven for her include her mother and father, sister, daughter Diane and son J.R. Staying here to carry on her memory and teachings are her sister Mary Ellen and husband Dee, daughter Mary Ann with her fiancé JoJo, son David, daughter Loretta Jean, and son Jesse Persianni; her grandchildren Tammy Marie, Patrick Earl, Jenean Renee along with her husband Michael Garza Sr., Clarissa "Sha-Sha" along with her husband David Steinke, Jessica Jean along with her husband David Roberts; her great-grandchildren Keelie, Michael Jr., Timothy, Nina, Xena, Caitlyn, Joseph, Raquel, Colton and Johnny. We will all miss her dearly but we are all glad she is no longer hurting. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Meghana Bhandari and Sherin V., R.N. on the 10th floor of Memorial Southwest Hospital.

Before Grammy passed, she asked if she could have a dog or bird on her cloud in Heaven – Grammy, please let us know!
