In Mermory of Crystal Rochelle Elam
In Rememberance of a friend.
Charished till the end.
Never knowing these days would be your last.
Thinking of times and memories past.
Your still to young to die.
Help dry these tears from our eyes.
Never shall you be forgotten.
As you rest in clouds of cotton.
As Jehoviah welcomes you into Heaven.
Wings you will be given.
To soar over us from way up above
and watch over the ones that you loved.

To my baby cousin... you are missed dearly. You were a beautiful, strong, proud person whom we all love and respect. I know that you are in a better place with the lord and I am sure Andrew (passed 10/31/2007) met you there with a big smile to say welcome home cuz. Your name will never be forgotton, your memories never lost and your voice never unheard. We love and miss you Crystal.

I will miss Crystal! We met when she was a freshman at UGA and she made such a positive and lasting impression on me that I have always thought of her over the years, especially whenever I passed through Lincolnton. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to the Elam Family.

I only knew Crystal for a short time but she made a big impact on my life. She took me in like we had known each other for years. We laughed and cried and then laughed because we were crying. She will be greatly missed by many. May God please send you peace.

To: Cortney, Brandon, and the Elam Family
Although I didn't know Crystal all to well, we had a TSA class together and she was a very bright student. I remember riding the bus with her, and sharing many laughs together. Cortney and Crystal used to call me Alien. She was a great, and wonderful person, and she will be greatly missed. I wll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Courtney if you need someone to talk to, just e-mail or write. I'm very busy but never to busy for a friend. My sympathy is with you in this time of loss.
Love and God Bless,
Beth A. Hadden

To The Elam Family:
It was a pleasure having Crystal as a student and an athlete. Words can not beginning to express the way I feel at this moment, but it sadden me to know that Crystal has completed a task that we all someday will have to complete. Just remember her as she was with that warm spirit and joyful soul. Lee and family keep each other close and dear and cherish every moment. You guys will be with me in heart despite my absence on tomorrow. I am just a call away if I can be any assistant to you all.

"To be blind and not see her magic and what she's given us...
To sit in the dark alone and not embrace what love we've been shown by her...
Now that, would be the tragedy"

Crystal,
You will forever live on in my heart. You may not have known it, but you taught me so much during our years together at UGA. You taught me to live my life to the fullest and not worry about what other's think. You were always there to listen to me when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for not judging me. You are beautiful inside and out. I will miss our conversations, but I know you are saving a place for me to speak with you again. Watch over us from Heaven.

God places many people in your life that are special and that you are able to learn from. Crystal was that special person. The Elam family means a great deal to me. I watched Cortney, Crystal, and Brandon grow and mature while I was teaching in Lincolnton. My heart hurts intensely at the loss of Crystal. Her energy and spirit were strong, her presence was always felt. I am still in shock over this. I will take comfort in knowing such a beautiful and kind young lady.
To Carey and Lee, I Love You and I will pray that God is able to comfort you in this time of loss.

It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ,...he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.
Ephesians I:II
The loss of someone so close is very difficult to bear. But remember God doesn't bring us to it, if he can't bring us through it. I didnt know Crystal on a personal level, but i know she has touched alot of people's lives in someway and she will be missed. Cortney my prayers and thoughts are with you. May God bless and keep you.

Its hard to say the words goodbye
Through the heavens you will fly
A loving friend and I want to cry
I wipe my tears and dry my eyes
We shared bad times and but all were mostly good
If I could turn back the hands time I would
To tell you how I really feel
Everyone loves you and so I will
Always keep you in my heart and mind
My prayers be with your family through this grieving time
Amen
Prayer for Crystal
Crystal you will be truly missed!
