I did not have the pleasure or the good fortune to meet and get to know Sarah Crowe, but through her progeny I know her to be an amazing woman. She is a gift to the world and amazes me still, as she lives on in the form of Kathleen, Veronica, Katie and Grace. May God grant her peace and we her strength to carry on without her. My blessing and prayers for the family.

I work in the Members Dining Room. Sally was a delight to work with. Whenever I had a check with a congressmens hen scratch signature I couldn't read, Sally knew it every time. Rest in peace Miss Sally. Say hello to my parents up there.

The Gift Of Knowing You
There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.
But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.
When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.
Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.
I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.
For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.

I only hope that I can be a fraction of the tremendous, incredible woman that you were. I will always love you and try to live up to your example.
Love, Your granddaughter Veronica

Sally was my mother-in-law and treated me to many good times in Greenbelt and Ireland. I will miss her and the glass of poteen she always offered me when I visited her home. She worked on Capitol Hill right up to the end, where she was the happiest joking with Congressmen and their staff. there.

May God bless and keep you close to His heart, Mrs. Crowe. I knew you as Kathy's mom and one of the strongest, most dynamic personalities I'd ever met and, fifty-odd years later, that compliment still stands. You made your daughters the strong, successful women they've become by being 'you' and I know you must have had enormous pride in them and in their families as well.
Rest well, Mrs. Crowe; job well done.

Sallie was a dear friend whose friendship, sense of humor and enthusiasm made all of my visits to the Members Dining Room memorable events. She will be truly missed by everyone that had the good fortune to know her.

I worked side by side with Ms.Salley for 3 and a half years in the Members Dining Room. I had just started on Capitol Hill and Ms. Sally took me under her wing and guided me through. I was so nervous. She would always say, " It's alright my dear. Just pray about it and God will take care of you". I could always count on her for a kind, wise and true word or two.We shared secrets,laughter and tears. I loved Ms. Salley with every beat of my heart and will miss her dearly.

As a Capitol Hill staffer for more than 15 years, I regularly ate in the House Members Dining Room where I got to know Sallie. Words can't express how grateful I am to have known her. She was kind, considerate and cheerful. I don't know her daughter, but I feel like I do, because she always kept me apprised of how her daughter was doing out in the world. I'll miss her tremendously.
