Dear Crystal, Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I will always remember how well you treated me when I was living with your grandmother.

Crystal, Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother so suddenly. It's so sad given your father had passed not too long ago himself. I remember sitting with your mother and my sewing basket, talking and looking at the contents of my sewing basket.....years ago.

Crystal and Wade,
I have just read of your mother's passing in the paper and find it hard to believe. It wasn't that long ago that your Dad passed. WOW! It makes us realize how short life can be. May God be with you all and your families during this time of sorrow. Please email me so we can get back in touch. I love you both.
