It´s been 16 years 4/29/08 (5,843 days) since you were taken from us. And it´s been 7 months 9/29/23 (212 days) since your brother joined you in heaven. The number of days is how many days I have loved, missed and thought of you both! I know this is Gods plan and someday I will know why. Until then I will forever keep loving, missing you both and counting down the days until I see you again. ~Mom

It's hard to believe you would be 36 today. It's even harder to believe that you have been gone 14 years and 5 months. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Happy Heavenly Birthday Crystal Lynn! I Love and Miss you!!

Fourteen years ago today you were selfishly taken from us. For fourteen years I have thought about you every single day. For fourteen years I have missed you every single day. For the past fourteen years my heart has ached to see you, to hold you, to hug you, to talk to you. For the past fourteen years I have re-lived the events of that day. So much has changed in the past fourteen years except the pain that I carry in my heart. It's been FOURTEEN years but it feels like a lifetime since I´ve heard your voice. It´s been fourteen years since you went to Heaven... Some days it still feels like yesterday. My heart still aches for you as much today as the day you died. I loved you your whole life. I'll Love and Miss you for the rest of mine!
I LOVE AND MISS YOU CRYSTAL LYNN!

Dear Teresa,
It's been fourteen years since we lost Crystal. I wanted to make sure you knew that you're in my thoughts and in my heart during this time. I think of you, Crystal and Jayden often and the rest of the family as well. I'm wishing you all strength still till this day. While I know nothing can alleviate your loss as a mother, I do want you to know I am remembering Crystal Lynn and miss her dearly as you know I loved her as a sister.

Crystal,
After reading your moms message, as you know it brought a flood of tears from my eyes. I was completely speechless because my Doctors wife called me Crystal 2 days ago and she apologized. I knew it wasn't by accident.. that was your way of reassuring me that you come to visit. I miss you Crystal Lynn and I can only image what a beautiful heavenly birthday you had yesterday!

Love You Always

Teresa Woodall

April 29, 2021

It's been 13 years today without you. I love you and miss you always. Still there's not a day that goes by that I dont think of you in some way. Today I tried to bury myself in work and you reached out to me. I called a doctors office and an employee named "Crystal" answered. I'm sure that was your way of letting me know that you are with me too. I'm sure you are celebrating your Heavenly Birthday (4-29-08) with all our loved ones. I Love and Miss you!!

I loved you yesterday, I love you still
I always have...
I always and forever will.
The moment that you left me,
my heart split in two;
One side is filled with memories; the other died with you.
I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain;
Our lives have gone on without you, but will never be the same.
There really are no words that can ever describe how much my heart aches to see you, to hold you, to hear your voice.
I love you Crystal Lynn.

Another year passes
And New Years come and go
Our lives go on with out you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide the heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Because living without you
Is the hardest part of all.

I Love and Miss you

Sometimes I smile...
I know your near.
It's not enough,
you are not here.
You left with LOVE
when you flew away,
And a piece of me
went with you that day.
The years roll by
I'm not the same,
But in my heart you will
Forever remain.

Dear Mom,
It's been a while since I let you know I'm near...been busy here in heaven but I haven't disappeared.
The weather has been lovely floating stars amidst moon beams. To all of us in heaven It's like living in a dream.
Rainbows meet each morning with colors high and bright. Shining all day long...and well into the night.
I've made so many friendships some new..and some quite old, It's beautiful here in heaven a sight just to behold.
I wanted you to know...I'm really doing fine, you will see this for yourself...when it becomes your time.
So until we meet in heaven..I will try to keep in touch, Remember my dear momma...I love you very much.

"When I Lost You"
I wish I could see you one more time come walking through the door, But I know that is impossible I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears and you don't want me to cry, Yet my heart is broken because I can't understand why someone so precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through, As I struggle with this heartache That came when I lost you.
I Love and Miss You so so much Crystal.

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me; place them in my daughters arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while; Remembering her is easy, I do it everyday. There's an ache in my heart that will never go away. I love and miss you so much Crystal Lynn and forever and ever will.

~Mom

April 29, 2014

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to do. You always meant so much to me, and you always will too.
The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain, but you are FOREVER in my heart until we meet again.
It's so hard to believe it's been 6 years without you. I love and miss you Crystal Lynn with all my heart.

We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord that connected us till birth, this cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.
This cord does it's work, right from the start, it bonds us together, attached at the heart. I know that it's there though no one can see, the invisible cord, from my child to me.
The strength of this cord, it's hard to describe, it can't be destroyed, it cant be denied.
It's stronger than any cord, man could create, it withstands the tests, can hold any weight,
And though you are gone, not here with me, the cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised....I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline as never before.
I am thankful that God connected this way, a mother and a child, death cant take it away. I love you Crystal Lynn. My heart is forever broken and I live through each and every day only for your son. I pray that you are always beside me and that I make you proud, because with out him I would not be.

It's so hard to believe that it's been 5 years ago today that you were taken away from us. My days are filled with thoughts of you. Jayden is so much like you and every time I look into his eyes, I see you. I try so hard to carry on, but some days are harder than others. I remember telling you that for mother's day all I wanted was flowers for my house, when really a hug or kiss and an I love you mom would have been suffice. I remember you coming over that Saturday and how I knew in my heart something was odd about it, but never questioned you. I should have. I remember you asking me if you could move back home and I jokingly said you could but Taco would have to stay. I have thought so many times, did she know I wasn't serious. I would have let him come too. I remember how I made you so mad because Jayden was tired of working on his school project that when you left to go and get more materials, I let him go swimming. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have. There are so many things I should or shouldn't have done, but the one that hits me the hardest is... I should have known and I didn't. Why didn't I know. I remember the days 5 years ago today as if they were yesterday. If I could go back I would in a heart beat. I really try to look as if I am ok, but my heart hurts so bad for you. I so wish I could hear your voice and put my arms around you...I would never let go. I know these are things I should have done before, I just never imagined you wouldn't be here. Cant help but think and wonder what if: I had never asked you why you were coming back to the house to finish Jaydens school project. I knew something was odd, but never ever would I have ever suspected what happened. I pray every day that justice will prevail. But no justice could ever take away the pain that me, Jayden,Valarie,Makayla,Eddie,Kenny and your family and friends have had to endure. Our lives and hearts have been changed forever and there's no amount of time that can ever heal the hurt and sorrow we have in our hearts. I try not to let my hurt and anger hold me hostage, but sometimes it does. Its so hard to describe the helplessness I feel. Forgive NEVER, but I have to make myself not think about it everyday. Still throughout the day a song will come on or I hear your name and it takes me back to you and a small smile will come across my face and think if only. I Love and Miss You Crystal Lynn.
