I am completely floored by this. I haven't been in contact with Crystal for some time now; I tried to contact her around Christmas time. When I didn't hear back from her, something told me to do a Google search. As I feared, I came across this article... To the Harlow family, I am so sorry for your loss. Crystal and I used to be very close when she worked at Mercantile. She was a very good person with an incredible heart. She always put others first and went out of her way to make people happy. I will sincerely miss her and will never forget her.

Many prayers for the Harlow family during this time. Crystal and I were close friends during our years at Arlington Baptist School. She always had a smile and a deep love for her friends and family. The sorrow you must be facing is indescribable, but I do know that God has promised to comfort you during these times. "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." May you sense His presence and comfort in the days and weeks to follow.
In Christian love with many prayers,

To the Harlow Family: It had been many years since I had seen Crystal, but I remember all too well how very sweet and bubbly she was. Much like her sister, Susan. Many years ago I lost my oldest brother in the same manner, so I know all too well what your family is experiencing. I do know God will help heal in His own time. Just hang onto each other. Love to all of you, Kathy (Trainor) Papesh
