I never dreamed I would have to write a memory of such a great friend. I can't pick just one....we have had so many good times--laughing hysterically in the hospital, the grilled cheese sandwiches in the cafeteria with the gi-normous amount of butter, the girl talks about life, the laughter, the tears, the hopes, fears, the mani/pedi..you were there for me to lean on and as only a true friend can do snap me back into reality during one of the most horrific times in my life. But I think my favorite memory was taking Rissa to the park. She had so much fun dominating that playground. The funny part was that everyone thought we were a "couple" and she was our daughter.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life and Rissa's life. I am so sorry that I was not there during your final months. I feel like I let you down. If I could go back in time I would fly back to KY and remind you that I love you, that you mean so much to me and that you were an amazing mommy to Rissa.
Mr. and Mrs. Crouch and the Crouch family--my heart aches for your loss. Please know that you ALL have been in my prayers. Time doesn't heal all wounds but it does make it more bearable. I hope it helps ease some of your pain to know how much Crystal touched my life and I don't know what I would have done without her.
