I love you. Our lives will never be the same. I feel cheated for our entire family but especially for your youngest grandchildren who will never feel your love for them. I will do everything in my power to keep your memory alive for all 4 of my children. They will always know how much Their G loved them.

I have such great memories of the times I had the honor to share with Crystal. Great times we shared during our 2 office trips to Cancun. Many lunches we ate together, especially those when we were eating chicken. I miss working with you and the fun times we had. You are a special lady whom I will never forget. Praying for Dante and your children at this most difficult time.

Crystal, I felt like I knew you through my daughter, Vickie, a very close friend of yours. I know that you are free of pain with my wife of 48 years, who went to heaven in 2003.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Crystal. It was an honor to have cared for her through the battle she was given to fight. And that she did. She fought with every ounce of energy she had. I will truly miss her. May God Bless you. Sincerely, Tammy Foster(Tennessee Oncology-LAB)

There are no words to describe how we all feel right now. I know that you no longer have cancer and your body is brand new. You will watch over all us (like you have always done). I love you more and I am great full for the time we have had together. I will always remember Gulf Shores and think of you!!

"My Best Friend" The day you entered my life, you made me a better person. Through tears and laughter as we watched our children grow, we were always there for each other. There were times when we would go through several months without speaking, but when we picked up the phone it was like yesterday. I kept nothing from you, and you were ALWAYS the 1st person I would call to share my victories or lean on your shoulder. I love you my sweet Crystal, and I know the day will come when we once again can put our arms around each other and be together. Till then, I will see you in my dreams. To Dante, and all of your wonderful family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take peace in knowing that this very special Lady is now rejoicing in Heaven. All my Love....
