My sincere sympathy to the Hankla family. Crystal and I were friends in high school, I was hoping to see her at our 40th class reunion this summer. I remember Crystal as being dedicated to her church, being very kind hearted and having such a good sense of humor! She could use that humor to transform an ordinary task --such as mixing up a batch of rice crispy squaresinto a hilariously fun and funny event! It was good to laugh together during our teenage years. I am grateful for...
