Thought of crystal randomly during the half time show. No idea why. I have not seen her in almost 20 years or heard from her. I sent a request on IG with a Google search and then her obituary pops up. I am devastated. She was a girl who like all have stated a ball of sunshine. I'm so sad. Gone too soon.

I just happen to come across this after a typo in my search bar. I literally had to close it & reopen it because I thought I was losing my mind. finally I said this is real & I started to cry just as I am writing this right now. Crystal is one of 2 sisters to my daughters stepmother Candice. I know that the entire family has to be devastated & I can't imagine how it must feel to lose someone so special to all of them. I met Crystal through interaction with Candice & my daughters father. I always had this feeling of comfort around her. She was someone I could definitely hold a good conversation with as we did the few times we were in the same room together. She always had this huge smile on her face & had a ray of sunshine that followed her everywhere she walked. I just really felt good vibes from her. I know she finally had met someone new & had her daughter Glamour. As a matter of fact her & her sister Candice were pregnant at the same time & had the kids I believe about a month or so apart. Crystal was so happy when I seen her the last time right after she had Glamour. I peeked at her as she lay in her stroller & said wow what a beautiful little girl. She said thank you & was just smiling with joy. My daughter was so happy to have a baby cousin here in town & always, always talked about her & her Aunt Crystal. She would be at her father's house anticipating the days that Crystal would bring Glamour over before work so Candice could watch her & that meant she was able to play with her as well lol. Seeing this right now breaks my heart. I don't know what happened to cause her unfortunate & way too soon death but I do hope she is at peace. I know her family is going to make sure Glamour is very well taken care of & hopefully the father is still involved. If not I just hope he had nothing to do with this & will be in her life so she knows him. He seemed to be a pretty decent man & father because I seen happiness within Crystal when she was with him. I feel very bad for Laurie & Bob. I know for a fact they love all three of their girls very very much & I know that grandbaby means the world to them. I will make it a point to go see Laurie & give her some flowers & my deepest sincere condolences. I am still in such disbelief right now. This doesn't even seem real. I hope her entire family & I am sure truckloads of friends will be at peace with this soon. Man this is such unfortunate news to just come across by a typo. I guess it was meant for me to see this today & I am so sorry Crystal. You belong here but rest assured your family will make sure Glamour is always knowing about you & the sunshine you shined on all our lives with your smile & positive vibes. May you rest in peace & know you are truly something special. Shellie & Angelina

My sweet Crystal. You were a firecracker. That spark of light in a room. I cannot forget how we met back (now I'm going to age myself) in 1996. You were the fake girlfriend that waved at my mother as I was dropped off at a boys house. Well... we became best friends, real friends, instantly! I loved you like a sister. Being with you was nonstop laughs, adventures and beautiful memories! I have so many growing with you on Wolverine Lake. Even as the years passed and we both got busy with our adult lives, it was always like we picked up exactly where we left. You understood me and accepted me with all my quirks and flaws. It breaks my heart that you have left this world but I know that you are smiling down on all your family and friends, telling us to never regret living, you are at peace and will always be there, waiting for us one day. I love you! Forever in my heart and thoughts! - Erin Smith

Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. She will forever be loved.
