Crystal, I had to stop by to leave ya a lil message. My 5 year old son Kortlynd is playing Tball and last night at his game while all the lil guys were busy running the bases backwards and throwing the ball the wrong way I found myself zoned out and staring at the next field where a girls softball game was going on and my thoughts immediatly drifted to you and all the laughs we had when we were on each others teams. I remember how shy you were the first year you were on my team even though I knew you from shawn. I also remembered how by the next year you had started coming out of your shell and opening up a lil and how you were turning into a darn good softball player. My mom and I would always talk about just how beautiful you were. It was so long ago but I can still see your long blonde pony tail and your contagious big smile out on the field with me! (Ill leave out the part of how we always got stuck on a stinky team ha) Anyways after that I couldnt get you outta my head...I know your in a better place and that you def have earned your angel wings by now. I just wanted to let you know that I know I can speak for everyone when I say you are missed more than you can imagine but that your spirit lives on in the hearts of all your family and friends. You were a beautiful young lady and I'm glad to have known you.
Sandy, Jack, Shawn, and Billy~I want you to know I think of you all often and hope that time has given you a lil peace in your hearts. I find peace in my heart knowing that crystal will be waiting for the day she gets to see you again and be in your arms. I will always keep you all in my prayers and wish you nothing but love and happiness.

It seems like just yesterday we were talking about how we were going to go boy hunting as soon as I turned 18, and how jealous all the girls would be. I still miss you like crazy, and have my days where everything seems to remind me of you. I can't wait until I get to see you again and am able to see your smile and joke and laugh with you like old times...Just know that you are still dearly missed, and very loved.

It's hard to believe that it was a year ago yesterday you left us. It seems like I miss your smile and laughter just as much, if not more now then I did then. I know I will see you again it is just a matter of time, and I think thats is the hardest part... waiting till then. We all miss you but always seem to have at least one memory of you that helps us get through the hardest times. I miss not being able to tell you secrets that I wouldn't dare to tell anyone else, because I knew that no matter what you would never tell another soul. Well sweetie I know that you are watching over me along with everyone else, and I am always looking up to you. I love and miss you so much.

My Dearest Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again;
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street,
And you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Everthing I Do And Everywhere I go, I Think of you.
PLEASE watch over her.. Dear Lord ..and to all our angels in Heaven please hold my Crystal close and comfort her until I can hold her again,I Miss you my baby Love MOM

Pam Lager

May 27, 2006

To the Clark family,

My heart goes out to you in a way most can thankfully never understand. My daughter, Heather Lager, was killed in an auto accident five years ago. She was an LC grad and a friend of Shawn's, and I know that Heather and Emily were there to greet your Crystal. My prayer for you is that your grief not consume you, though your journey through this will be a never ending one. As hard as it is to believe right now, you can find a new normal for your lives, and you will smile again. Things will never be the same, but the pain really does lessen with time. You can make it through. You have other children to live for, just as I knew I had to go on for my other daughter Jennifer. I didn't want to make home a place she didn't want to be in, but it is so very hard, but that is what you have to try and focus on. No one can ever know the depths of the pain like another parent who has traveled this road, and we have to remember not to expect them to be able to know. I just remember wishing someone could tell me how I was supposed to be able to survive this, and that I would survive something that made me wish for so long that I was also gone from this world, so that is what I wish to share with you. You survive one moment at a time, not looking to tomorrow or what her future might have been, but just each moment telling yourself you can go on. Don't let anyone else tell you how you should grieve or that you should be better after a certain amount of time, just grieve your Crystal however you wish and what feels right for each of you. After a while, no one wants to bring up her name, but they cannot understand how much that hurts us. I also remember thinking that I would somehow in time forget things about Heather, let me assure you that doesn't happen. Your love for Crystal will never lessen, and you will remember things about her that you probably wouldn't have if she were still with you, because that is what you have to cherish forever. I'm sorry this is so lengthy, but my heart so severly breaks for any parent that has to live through this nightmare, whether I know them or not. You can survive this, and that is my sincere prayer for your family. With the help of some online support groups for parents who have had a child move on, (sorry, I never say the d word), I created a web site in memory of Heather. Creating this site helped me share her life and express my love for her. You can search her name and it will lead you to the website. If you would ever like to talk, I welcome just lending an ear to someone that needs to share with someone who has been there and survived. In the beginning going to support groups with others who are in the same place you are now for me was just too hard, they couldn't help themselves at the time, just as I couldn't help myself then. I hope that you know the Lord and that you will allow yourself to draw strenth from him, (although I was really pissed at him for a while, and that's ok)knowing that Crystal is with him and they are all waiting for us where we all will be together again forever. All it takes is that we know him as our Lord and savior, that's it, regardless of what we have done wrong in our lives, he forgives all wrong and brings us to life everlasting. Heather has come to my husband several times in his dreams, and I pray that when she knows your ready and can handle it that Crystal will come to you to let you know she's ok if she hasn't already. May God be with you and strengthen you daily. Sincerely, Pam Lager

A prayer for Crystal



You took her away too soon, Lord,

Was there really such a need?

She was with us such a short time,

The flower hadn’t yet outgrown the seed.



Will you tell her your plans, Lord.

So that she won’t be afraid?

She is still a young woman,

Wondering about the change you’ve made.



Put your arms around her, Lord,

And hold her close each day.

While you tell her about Heaven,

Where she will always stay.



Keep her safe, dear Lord,

Until we make our home with you.

Let her know she’s not forgotten

And is a part of everything we do.



She will live forever in our hearts, Lord,

You didn’t completely take her away.

We thank you for our time with her,

And for the love she gave us each and everyday.



God Bless You Always our Darling Crystal... Miss You...

Love Aunt Patty & Uncle Kenny

I would like to send you all my deepest sympathies. I went to school with Shawn since Grimmer and remember his adorable little sister with her long blonde hair and shy smile getting on the bus and sitting with us every day. I never knew Crystal very well but always thought she was beautiful and very sweet. I can't imagine how tough this is for you all but I hope you will find some strength through all of these wonderful memories Crystal has left with the world.

I really don't know what to say, it seems like were losing people way to early these days. I am very sad to hear about this. i was good friends with Crystal for a long time until recent years. All i know that she is safer and happier now. I know Andrew is up there keeping her company. I want to send my deepest sympathy to her family (keep your head up Shawn) and all her friends and i know she is in a better place. keep lookin down Crystal it's much brighter from where you are now.

I will see you all soon. God bless you, I love you.

Crystal you will never be forgotten in my life or my heart. I will forever cherish the funny video's we were able to make on our visits together. I'm so glad we had so many special memories. I love you sweetie. I will never stop thinking of you or missing you.
