Love you Mommy! So so much. Miss you so much. Been missing you a long time, but now I can only ask God to say hi. I wish I had been a better daughter. But I'm so glad we both cut thru some of the guards and told each other many times "I love you". That was not usual for us. I hope and pray that at least some of your fam will be with you for eternity.YOU are now the beautiful Easter Lily in the special place. Forever young and lovely. Your loving daughter Laura

I have good memories of the Summers with Aunt Crystal, We enjoyed looking for frog to put them in her garden,I enjoyed her talking about the nature around her home,I enjoyed her explaining about the eggs that the chickens had,I remember the Thanksgiving that we had where grandma, Mom, and Aunt Crystal will sit around the kitchen table after dinner and discuss Christmas gifts,that day we has a big snowstorm and we had to leave early. I recall her love of church and music and her affection for her parents. Enjoy the glory of God, rest in peace Aunt Crystal .from your nephew Philip Mark Benson.

Crystal used to play the organ at Lincoln Park Church. She was such a sweet lady and I specifically remember that her and I have the same birthday, September 30th! My condolences to the entire Metheny family.
