I think of Crystal often. So many things remind me of her even now. It breaks my heart to think of how much of each other´s lives we missed out when life took us down different paths. I´m so sorry I never got to say goodbye to her or offer you, her family, my condolences in person.

I know this is long time to have gone by, but I´ve only recently found out about Crystal´s passing. Our senior year of high school we became very close friends. I have so many fond memories of her. She was my closest friend for a long time. Sadly life happened and we went different ways, but I´ve always thought of her and I know she is missed greatly. I´m so so sorry.
