Crystal I don’t even know where to start. You have been in my life ever since I can remember. You was more than my cousin you was like a sister to me a built in bestie. I could talk to you about anything and we always had so much fun together. So many great memories together that I’ll never forget and always cherish. I still can’t believe you’re gone and I’m broken knowing we will never hang out again. You’re the sweetest person I know and I’m going to miss you forever. I love you girl. I till I see you again.

When I look at your picture, sweet memories, I recall a face full of sunshine and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message to my dear cousin up above. Tell her how we miss her and give her all our love. I little knew that day God was going to call your name. I loved you dearly in life, and death, and I still do.
