I'm so sorry to hear about Noah's passing. Such a kind, gentle man...I'll miss seeing him at pow wow's.##imported-begin##jerrilyn hamley##imported-end##
Dad, there were many things that we talked about and many things that were left unsaid but I knew in my heart how much you loved me. I know you were proud of me for all the things I have accomplished in my life but some day I hope that I may be the man that you were in yours. My "Old Cowboy", may you ride your spotted pony over the plains and be with the buffalo and the sunflowers once again! Love, Son##imported-begin##Robert Long Crane##imported-end##

Now we are walking the Red Road and sharing with others wherever we go, a beautiful spirit. We will always remember what you gave. Happy birthday...Hoyt and Hagoneh...Until we meet again.##imported-begin##Rainai Jimicum & Marvin Hannah##imported-end##

Many called you "Grandpa" but I had the privilege of calling you "Dad". You
bestowed your name upon me via your son, and gave me my other name
"Wintersky." You honored me by having the trust in me to handle your
personal and legal affairs. You blessed me with your quiet strength, your
smiles, and your love. I miss you but I'm happy for you... I know you're
visiting and dancing with those who went before you, and you are happy to be there and no longer in pain. We're having your Birthday Party tomorrow, and I know your spirit will be felt by all. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Loving you always, Linda Long Crane##imported-begin##Linda Long Crane##imported-end##

I have so many happy memories of Noah, a gentle, loving man, with a kind word for all and a sense of humor that put a twinkle in his eye. For the family, I wish your sadness to be shortlived, and that your memories will give you joy. With love to all...##imported-begin##Lois Long Crane##imported-end##
