Hi sweetheart! I know it has been a while but I think of you everyday as I see you in Raymond and everything he does. He is you all over. I love that little boy so much, he is the greatest gift that you left. School just finished for him yesterday and he passed to the 5th grade going now to middle school. How I wish you could see and hold him, you would be so proud of him. He loves to dance and he likes music. He is quick witted and a jokester but overall a good kid. The teachers all told me the same thing. I do worry about him growing up in this crazy world. Hannah had her 15th a couple of weeks ago and it turned out great and she was so beautiful, she grown up to be a wonderful young lady that everyone is proud of. She depicts an example of what a young lady should be. You would be so proud. Your brother and Edna wedding turned out great also and oh I wish you could have been there but then again you were. I know you were looking down at us having a good time and it rained all day but know those were your tears of joy for the family. They will be having baby Michael pretty soon and the way Edna looks and feels, I know it will be sooner rather than later. I'm getting excited and know you would be estatic so watch over us and pray that everything turns out ok and especially pray for grandma. She's had the shingles now going on eight months and she's having a hard time and is in a lot of pain. Watch over all of us and tell Dad and Memo hi for us. Loving and missing you so much it hurts!

Crystal, I haven't written to you in so long but it doesn't mean I don't think of you. Clearly you are unforgettable. So much is going on, Im sure you saw the ultrasound of your nephew we left you :). We are going to tell him all about you and we wonder if he'll come out in any way like you. We were talking about the wedding last night and both your brother and I got choked up, we were talking about our bridesmaids and groomsmen and we can't help but feel the sadness that one of each are in heaven. I know for a fact you would've made yourself my maid of honor and I wouldn't have disagreed, you became my sister in such a short length of time. Ray is huge but has your smile, I swear that boy grows by the second and he already said he was going to help with the baby, BUT he wont change diapers lol..Oli is the cutest thing ever, her and Albie have this bond, understanding, its sweet and so innocent. She's a bossy little thing. Bri of course is bri, sassy and girly,m beautiful nonetheless and oh Hannah Bear, such a good sweet young lady. We all miss you dearly, especially when I need "girl talk". I miss our talks, emails, jokes, and dinners..lol...you and I would have definitely been milking this pregnancy going out to eat as often as possible. We love you and Im sure you are with us every step of the way, give my Alberto a huge hug from his little big sister, no doubt in my mind ya'll are in heaven together. We love and miss you.

Hi sweetheart, just thinking about you. We lost your Tia Elida, saw all the family, unfortunately, that seems to be the only time we all get together and see everyone. We went to Tio Bart's house and we saw an old video he had of one of grandma's birthday parties and we were there. I think you weren't even a year old. You were dressed in white and I had you in my arms. You were so adorable. OMG, how I miss you! Then Lisa posted a picture of you all. I think Ray was about two years old. He was so adorable and still is. Crystal, he is you and I can't tell you how much I treasure him. He's so lovable and so much like you. You're weighing so heavy in my heart this past week as it has been so emotional but you are always on my mind. Seeing you as a precious baby that you were brings back so many memories of you. It's like it was yesterday. Ray Ray didn't know what to say when he saw you. I don't think in his mind, you were ever a little girl as he remembers you as his mommy. I always think of you and know you are always in my heart and on my mind. Loving and thinking of you. Rest in peace, my baby.

Raymond's first day of 4th grade summer school was today. OMG Crystal, he is such a big boy and so handsome. He's you all over and he's been on a roll the last couple of weeks bending grandma's and my ears. He is such a ham and that personality of his is just like yours. He has such a quick wit. I just love him so much. He said he had a good day so we just have to wait and see how it goes. When I said goodbye to him this morning and gave him a kiss and a hug, I just kept seeing you when you went off to school. It just broke my heart!

Oh my baby, it's been two long years since you've been gone and I miss you so much!! We went to the cemetary and had dinner w/you on your anniversary, all of the family. I know you saw all the kids and I bet you can't get over how big they have gotten and we laughed because when they were all together, we just thought how you would have all of them and it never fazed you and that you could handle all of them and love it and how they loved being with you! You had that special gift with the kids. Briana asked Sylvia when you were coming back! I know you got our messages we sent you w/the balloons from all of us. Brian also was there, Lita told me how he misses you alot. I know you were his confidant. I know life goes on but a big part of it is so empty without you. You were such a big part of our lives. God took you and it hurts so much. I know there are reasons that I don't understand but it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt. I do try to make sense of it. Just know I do realize that you are in a better place but I can miss you! Guide us through the coming year as I know you are not far away from us. Help us to make the right decisions and keep us on the right path. I miss you and love you my girl so very much!!!!

Crystal,
How I miss you! It has been two years today that I got the called. I couldn't believe it. I wish you were still here. I know God has you in a better place and you are looking down at us. YOU will always be missed.

Hi sweetheart, I've been missing you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. The last two months, you have weighed heavily on me, I feel like if you are trying to tell me something. Sometimes I feel if I reach out I could touch you. I wish it was that easy. I know every time I go to see you I try to catch you up on Ray but I know you know how he's doing. He passed to 4th and he's getting so big. He's my pride and joy eventhough I could box his ears sometimes. He reminds me so much of you. He just finished baseball and wants to play basketball but I want him to take some time off but if it helps keeping him busy, I will let him. It wasn't that long ago, maybe two to three weeks ago that he was sleeping and I heard him call your name out several times. I don't know if he was dreaming but it was like he was calling for you. I didn't wake him up but it just broke my heart. I miss you so much and it hurts so much to have lost my baby girl and I still don't understand why. We were looking at Hannah's pictures and reminiscing how fast she grew up and we went through all your pictures when you were little and all the crazy things you did, how you would make us laugh and it all seemed like just yesterday. I know it's been almost two years but the pain is still there and hasn't gotten better or more bearable. Ray left you a card for Mother's Day and I took him to Cheddars and had a Mother's Day meal for you. We ordered what you would have ordered, I drank the drinks that you liked and we talked and shared memories about you. It was what he wanted to do in memory of you because he said you would have wanted to do that on our own. It gave us both a good feeling about you, the only thing missing of course was YOU. We are taking him to Great Wolf which he loves and I know he will have a good time then 4th of July we are going again to Corpus but it is not the same without you there. Crystal please know that you are always in our heart and mind. You are never far away. I love you and miss you more than you will ever know sweetheart.

My beautiful baby, this is the last day of this year 2013, and I miss you so much! It is so hard to celebrate anything with you not here. I know things would be so different if you were. 2013 has come and gone and it was so empty. Ray is missing you so much during these holidays. He cried to Raymond and me on how he missed you. He goes through the motions and as long as he is kept busy, he does okay. He gets quiet and you can see the sadness in his eyes and demeanor. He is trying to deal with it but he has a hard time. We all miss you more than ever. People say time heals but it seems like the opposite, it just gets harder and harder. Maybe 2014 will be a better year, we will try and make it a good year for Raymond. I love that little boy so much, he reminds me so much of you. Mija, I don't know what I would have done without him. You gave us the most precious gift of all, HIM, and I thank God everyday for him. Just know that I miss and think about you everyday. Not a day goes by that I can hear your voice or relive something you would say or do. Everything is magnified by your loss ten times over. Loving you and missing you always!

Well, hello my girl, it has been a while since I sent you a note and updated you on Raymond. He's doing good in school, needs to work on some foundation things but overall did good. I started crying cause you would be so proud. When I asked the teacher how he was doing in his behavior w/her and the other students and in general, she told me if she could clone Raymond,she would. She indicated he is respectful, good attitude, participates, good team player, accepts criticism well and is very sweet and well mannered. She wished she had a classful of Raymonds as it would make her day go alot easier. Anyway, she couldn't say enough about him. I was so proud and got emotional because I knew you would be so proud of him. On the day we went to the parent/teacher conference he must have seen about 6 butterflies; before going to see the teacher, after we came out, on the way home, in the car. He was in awe and I told him it was your way of showing how proud you were of him and that you knew when he's doing good or bad and your way of keeping in touch with him. He's been so much calmer and quieter recently. He still has his momemts but he seems to be handling so much better. I just worry about him with the holidays coming up. That is when he seems to get moodier. He's getting to be such a character and he has such a quick wit or comeback like you. He is so lovable but is so stubborn. Not looking forward to the holidays because I miss you so much it hurts. How I wish you could be there but I know you are there because you are in our hearts and mind and all those memories that we shared with you each holiday. I love you so much my sweet girl. On a second note, the family wants to thank you, Dad and Uncle Mo as we know you all were there for the good outcome on the family recently. We love and miss you all.

Hello darling! Happy Birthday sweetheart! God I miss you, more so because I know for this milestone, you would have wanted a big party and we would have given you one. I just think of the last ones we had together. Everyone was reminiscing about it yesterday. I'm sure you saw us all there. I know people say with time, things get better but it is still hard for me. I try to hold back but you know me I have always been emotional. Sometimes I think the passage of time actually makes it harder. I listen w/Edna the spanish songs that you like and we laugh recounting what you would say. I'm glad we have so many good memories of you. Oh I wish we could have had so many more. I'm sorry Crystal, it still is so hard for me, I miss you so much. Just know that your special day was shared by the family with you. Your Tia Syl says that you have been on Briana's mind alot lately. I'm in awe how the kids even though small as they were, still have a clear picture of you and ask and think about you. My girl you left a lasting impression on them. Loving, thinking and keeping you close to my heart.

Crystal, we took Baby Ray on vacation to Florida like we had planned last year, this year. It was a spur of the moment vacation but Ray had a wonderful time. I swear he is half fish. He never wanted to come out of the water. I couldn't stop thinking of you while we were there because I knew how you were looking forward to going last year. I kept thinking in everything we did, where we went, just being on the beach or the pool, I knew you were there. I could feel you and know you saw your baby (he told me to refer to him as that because you called him that). I swear the things that come out of his mouth remind me of you so much. A year has gone by but it just seems like yesterday. You don't know how I relive it and wish I could turn back the hands of time. Edna and Fred are doing good and the kids are growing up so fast. Ray starts school on Monday and he's not looking forward to it. He says he didn't have a summer but he did have a good summer. He did a lot and played hard. He's growing up so fast, but you know that and I hope that we make you proud. Keep looking over us, we need you so much to give us guidance in our lives. Sometimes I feel so lost without you. Even though you were my daughter you were a pillar of strength for me and I miss that. We leaned on each other in so many ways. I love and miss you so much. I think about you every day! Love

I haven't stop thinking of you and your family. I can believe you are gone. I miss you so much. Miss talking to you and having lunch with you. Im no longer work at LBGS I got me another job and like it so much. I miss you.

So, I wrote to you last week but apparently it did not go through :( No big deal Ill just write again and this time maybe longer :). I always think about you, you and I got extremely close in a short amount of time. I always think about the first time u got mad at me for not braiding your hair when you wanted me to, at that very moment as you slammed the door I thought to myself "okay NOW we're sisters" so even though you left upset I smiled. Your mom, brother, and dad are doing a great job with Raymond, hes having an awesome summer, I mean he has hardly been home, he's gone everywhere, from Christys, his dads, Sylvias, to our own little outings. Everyone who loved you dearly is doing great in taking care of him. OMG and the girls, beautiful as ever, Oli talks soooo much and Bri still sassy and cute and well Hannah, she's growing up too fast but still a great big sister and young lady. Fatboi can say your name now and kisses your headstone when we visit you> Eliana likes looking at your portrait on your brothers arm and she is something else but of course you are aware of all this because I'm sure you are watching. I swear Raymond grows by the second and he has your smile. I just want you to know I love you and thank you for everything you did within the short amount of time we shared, I really missed you last month, I was going through something and I REALLY needed someone, a sister, and I felt your absence during that time the most. I could go on forever but as you and I both know that's impossible. I miss our emails, our talks, our jokes, our play fighting, but most of all your loving soul. Just know Ray is in great hands, all of us love him very much and will take care of him, AND I promise to take care and be there for your family, from mom, dad, "fatboi, ray to yr tias n little cousins always because the love you showed me and my kids is something I hold dear to my heart and of course I love every single one them. I love you and miss you, give my brother my love!

Crystal,
I am sitting here reading all of the beautiful messages your family and friends have written to you. Even though we were not extremely close, we were still friends at the YMCA where we cheered on our boys as they played sports. I am happy that Ray continues to play sports with Rick, every time I look at him, you pop into my mind, because you always used to mess with me making me giggle, remembering our little jokes we had between the two of us. Just know that Ray is in good hands and is being cared for by your beautiful parents, brother Alfred and sister in law. They love him so much! I miss you Crystal, until we meet again, watch over us dear.
Friends,

Hi sweetheart, dear God how I miss you, not a day goes by that I don't think about you! It's been a while that I written something but that doesn't mean that I don't think about doing it. I have so much to say but sometimes the words don't come easy cause I'm so emotional, but you know that. There is so much to tell you and every time I stop by the cemetary I try to bring you up to date. Ray Ray passed to the 3rd grade and he did good. He knows his work but takes him a while to do it. He's a procrastinator and waits until the last minute to get it done but he would make you proud. He did make his first communion with Joe/Sylvia as his godparents like you wanted. He was so handsome, but I know you were beaming with pride looking down at him. Crystal, he misses you so much and it is so hard for him. I know he gets angry and confused sometimes when he thinks about it. He deals with it the best he can but you can tell he is trying to grasp and understand. I look at him and see Raymond but there is alot of you in him especially his personality, he is so you, the things that he says, he is so lovable. I thank God everyday for him because through him you live. I'm still trying to think of what we are going to do this summer but it is hard cause we always planned it together. Just know that I will try and make it special for him. I always try to think of what you would have wanted to do with and for him. Oh God, I hope you liked your headstone. We tried to pull together pictures that you would have loved. I think we picked the right ones. I loved it, it was so you but it was so hard, because then reality set in and it was real. I sometimes imagined in my mind that you were out of town and I would see you in a bit when you returned but I knew that you wouldn't be coming back. I love you so much my girl. I miss our talks and even our arguments (you always wanted the upper hand) but I know you listened eventhough you didn't want to and things would eventually sink it. You are always in my mind and in my heart. I love and miss you my baby girl.

Hey sis,
I have never came to write you something,i mostly go to your facebook wall,and look through your pics.I try to continue every tradition,and still do everything that you wanted to do,everything from wings on Tuesday,to taking Ray to movies,putting him in sports,to taking mom and Edna to Bruno mars and Romeo Santos,just like you promised you would.My birthday is around the corner,and though I'm looking foward to it,i just wish you were here to celebrate my big 30! I can hear you making fun of me and saying "your getting old brother" .I can still hear your voice,i can still hear your goofy laugh,even the face you would make when you were mad at me.I know we had our fights,but you know I loved you,and there wasn't nothing that i wouldn't do for you.Everything i do,I do ten times as much,because it is you i do it for,its you that I think of.Your family misses you,your friends miss you.not a day goes by your not thought of.Your loss was a hard one for me,you were so young,and had so many plans and things you wanted to do,not just for you but for Ray Ray,but i promise i will keep your memory alive,and do everything i can to keep you smiling from Heaven at me.I just want to make you proud.I guess I will come to a closing now,since i am supposed to be working.I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers,and i know you will be watching over us.Tell Papa,Grandpa and Uncle Moe that they are loved and also missed...Till next time babygirl,I love and miss you..."Always on my mind,Forever in my heart".. your big brother ..(Fatboy)

Hi sweetheart, it has been 6 months and I miss you so much. If I knew then that I was going to lose you, I would have made every moment count. That's life though, we don't ever know what is going to happen in the next minute, hour or day, that is why we have to keep the people we love close to us and not take life for granted. Raymond is doing okay but he misses you so much also. He's trying to grasp what happen but is having a difficult time with it. Everyone tries to keep him busy and do stuff for him. I worry alot for him but you know how I am, I worry about everything. He went to his first confession and passed so he will be making his first communion like you wanted him to and Sylvia and Joe will be his padrinos like you wanted. He's doing good in basketball, you would be so proud. He's a good boy and eventhough he looks like his daddy, he is you all over in personality and I see alot of YOU in him. You did good baby by him. He's doing good in school but struggles a little cause it's a lot of work and he sometime doesn't want to do it. Just know we are taking care of him for you. Just know not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish this was all a bad dream but I know you are in a good place but I still miss you. I love you so much.

Sweetheart, it's now a couple of days after Christmas. It was so hard. It wasn't the same without you. We went through the motions for Ray Ray and he did have a wonderful Christmas thanks to all the family and friends and everyone that made it special for him. Christmas and the day after were especially hard for him. He cried for you. My heart is so heavy for him because I wish I could do majic so you could hold him one more time but I know that would never be enough for him. He loves you so much and you are in his heart! Your smile is so vivid in my mind and I can remember some of our conversations so clearly like if they just happened yesterday. Your comadre and god daughter stopped by the house and she is getting so big. Christian says she still asks for you and Ray Ray. Alfred and I bought some gifts for her. I know life continues on but sometimes I feel that time has stopped for me and I think I will see you come through the door. HBO, the girls are getting so big and they still ask and remember you, I think a big part of them always will. Ollie looks at your picture and says that you are sleeping. Briana says she sees you in church when she goes every week at school so you still live in their hearts and mind in your own way. My heart is so heavy because there is so much I wish I could say and share with you. Things that I wished I had said. I miss our talks and confidences that you shared but most of all I miss your smile and love and you jumping on me to give me a hug or kiss. I know you are watching over us and hopefully guiding us to do the right thing. I love and miss you more than you'll ever know!!!

My baby girl, the Light group at Bo's Place just finished last week. Very emotional for both Ray Ray and I. He's really enjoyed the group sessions with the other kids as he could relate to them. We are going to continue with the sessions on Mondays, first and third of each month, starting in January. I know it helps us both in our grief journey but sometimes it seems that I miss you more now. I think I was in shock for awhile and to tell you the truth, I think I still am. It's hard when there are so many things around me everyday that remind me of you. I can still hear your voice and I go over and over everything trying to make sense of your loss. I pray and pray and I still ask God what did I do? I'm not perfect but I tried to raise both of my kids right but somewhere along the way I failed and God took you away from me. Everyone tells me not to blame myself but I do, I wish there was more that I could have done to save you and protect you. I miss you so much my darling girl. Ray Ray also is hurting but everyone does what they can for him. He is so loved by everyone. Please know that we are trying to make this Christmas good for Ray but it's going to be so hard for all of us because it's not the same without you. Thinking of you always, Love Mom

My sweet angel, it's Halloween and Ray Ray going with his Dad, Lori, Lisa and the kids trick or treating. I know he'll have a good time but just know that he misses you so much. It seems like every Sunday it catches up to him and he cries more for you then than any other night. It hurts so much cause all I can do to take the hurt away is hold him. I try talking to him and it seems to help but I wish I could do more to take the pain away. I can't even imagine what he is going through when it is so hard for me as an adult to get through this. I'm taking him to Bo's Place and it seems to help him and it's helping me but until you lose a child, I could never understand the grief and pain one endures. There are so many times that I find myself breaking down. I'm trying to be strong for Ray's sake but it is so hard. Just know that I think about you every day and wish you were here. I love and miss you so much my heart actually hurts. I know people say that as time goes on, the pain is less but lately it seems that the opposite is true. I'm thankful for all the memories but wished we could have had alot more. It hurts to know that you will be missing out on whatever Ray does. I feel like you were cheated out of life. I am thankful for you giving me a grandson, who is so loved by us all. Eventhough it doesn't take away the pain or hurt he makes life so much more bearable. Loving you always, Mom

Hi Crystal, you have been on my mind lately, I have seen 2 girls that look just like you and I have to look twice. I smile and say "Hi Crystal! Just want you to know that you are missed around here. Ray looks like he is trying to get by, but I know it's hard for him. He's doing good in soccer at the YMCA.
Until we meet again.

My sweet angel, I miss you so much! I think about you everyday. Raymond misses you so much, especially at night after everything settles down. It's so hard for him. He puts your music in the car and does little things that he knows you like. I'm glad that you were always there for him because he has those great memories of you. You were a great mother and I was never more proud of you because of that. We will both get through this with the help from family and friends. Just know that you left a lasting impact on people because you are missed so much by everyone. Like your Dad said, I wish we could hold you again, one more time, but I know that would never be enough. I know I am being selfish, because I know you are in a far better place but I still wish you were here with us. Loving and missing you!

Crystal passed away so fast and no one will ever understand why, god chose to take her when he did. Little by little, we will begin to remebwr not that she died, but that she lived. And that her life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Gloria, Crystal loved you very much and knew you loved her just as much.

Prayer is powerful, and knowing that many friends are doing so at the same time will hopefully release some of your aches from your heart and you can find comfort in the spiritual hugs that surround you.
