I met Crystal about 2 years ago when our daughters played basketball together. Crystal was such a genuinely nice person. When I learned that she was a nurse, it was further evidence of her warmth and kindness. Her family will be in our prayers. The Williams Family

There is no tragedy in life like the loss of a child, or of a child's mother. The loss of Crystal is exactly that. With her gentle, graceful manner, her smile, and her comforting words, she could make the day for the patients she helped! The true soul of a nurse. I was proud to work with her at MCHD, and sorry to not see her after my retirement. My deepest condolences to her family, especially her daughter, to whom I'm sure she was the best kind of a role model. A true loss for all who knew her.

To Lauren and Family,
As a St. Monica Family we were reconnected with Crystal and Lauren but my husband and I first met her on campus at IU Bloomington. Crystal's cheerful spirit and positive energy were infectious and we always shared many laughs. Every spring we were on the track field cheering our kids on in the events and chatting non-stop. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so saddened to hear about Crystal's passing. Crystal and I worked together at the Marion County Health Dept. We had to learn a new computer system so we could train the staff. There were some rough times and some good times. Crystal could always tell a story. She would make us laugh and laugh! Crystal will be missed.

I first met Crystal when we were nursing students at IUPUI. She had such a strong personality, so smart and yet so very sweet. We then worked together at Methodist Hospital until she moved on to family practice. I am shocked and saddened to learn of her passing. She was a jewel and can never be replaced. I am glad she has moved to a higher position closer to the God she loved so much and spoke of so frequently. My prayers are with the family for comfort.

I have your family in my prayers. I worked with Crystal for many years...the first time I spoke to her about the job she was on her honeymoon cruise. She loved her family and friends so much....I moved away about 10 yrs ago but she was the kind of friend that you could just pick up with after all the years. I pray that God will comfort you all through this. She was such a special person and I am so sorry for your loss.

My heart is so heavy with Crystal passing away. Crystal was my first friend I met when I came to IU and she has always been there for me! It is hard to put into words what she meant to me and I am missing her so much. I know I will see her in heaven one day, but I still want my friend back! My heart goes out to Carey, Lauren, Ms. Brenda, Mr. Charles, Chris, Kim, Aleta, Monique and Alisha. I am here for you and know that God will help us all thru this trying time.
