Crystal Gale Shiflett

Me and Crystal knew each other since we were in kindergarten and that grew into a beautiful friendship, then later Crystal grew into me. She not only was my best friend she was my sister. Me and Crystal had our crazy times in middle school, then when high school came along Crystal was the one who molded me into what I am today, If it wasnt for her I would not be accomplishing the things I am right now. Crystal you are my HERO baby!There were the times when me and Crystal would have our lil...

As I read through the guest book, A tear sheds thinking my "CARROT" is gone. I look back at these weeks and it seems so surreal. Why does this happen to the best of us? We ask the most ridiculous question as to why knowing we will never get the answer. The truth is that our LORD only wants the best of us and I'm kinda jealous knowing how Lucky my carrot is to be up there with our lord.
It hurts to be left behind but I already assigned Crystal a job of taking car of all of us! She will...

I really didnt know her but I got to talk to her through my friends that knew her. She is an angel to us, she will always be in our hearts. No matter what I will always remember her with a huge smile and a warm heart. And to her mom, Ms. Gale, remember she will always live on. Crystal, all your friends down here are gonna miss you but we all know we will see you soon, in our hearts and in our dreams. Michael Merino is sad to know that the one he loved dearly is gone. He cant picture...

I didn't know Crystal all that well living so far away, but I know through family how wonderful and intelligent she was. And meeting her that summer that you guys came down, I got to see how beautiful she was. I feel so extremely blessed and proud to have someone as wonderful as she was named after me. Crystal, though I didn't know you that well, you've always had a special place within my heart and it aches to know that I never had the chance to really get to know you, but I rejoice in the...

Crystal, you are so beautiful and very loved. I am very proud of you and I will miss you. Your mother is so proud of you. She always told me about your accomplishments. You are her world.
I love you!!

I am a 2nd cousin to Crystal. I met her only once but those of you who knew Crystal knows that it only takes one time for her to have such an inspirational impact on your life. Crystal came out to Oklahoma two years ago and we sure didn't want to see her go home. Her bright red hair, big smile, and open joyful personality just touched us all. My heart goes out to you Aunt Wanda, Gale, and Sara. I love you guys very much. Remember, Crystal is no longer our earth angel she is now our guardian...

My deepest condolences to Gail, Crystal's mom. I had the pleasure of working with Gail and she ALWAYS spoke so highly of her "baby." I too, lost a son in an auto accident so I KNOW the PAIN she's going through and will keep her in my prayers.

Crystal was my 2nd cousin and I will miss not being able to see her on my visits to the valley,but I know she's in Heaven with the biggest smile on her face because that smile is for God and all the beautiful Angels. Gale and Wanda I am sure Crystal is and will be watching over you too.

My Thoughts and Prayers are you

Love
Brian

To the family and friends of Crystal

There is nothing harder in life than losing a child. I know, because I, too, lost my son, Casey Tilbury, on July 5 due to a tragic car accident. He was 17, and his birth date was March 29, 1985. He IS my only born child. He, too, was gifted and full of wisdom in many ways, far beyond his years on this earth. Casey was a lover of music (drummer, pianist, guitarist), a lover of friends, a true lover of life. He lived a very full life in his...
