Hi Jason,
ReplyDeleteI spoke with Pam this morning after I recieved your out-of-office reply, and she told me about your loss. Even though we met for the first time last week, I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Warm Regards,
Alexandra Kurowski
I pray that GOD surrounds you all with his loving arms to give you much comfort & strength at this time.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry to learn of her passing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Crystal but I can tell she fought a good fight, she kept the faith and finished her course.....
Praying for you and the extended family right now,
Desiree J.
Jason, I know the pain you are going through. I deal with it everyday of my life. I am here for you and your children. Mary although still fighting is here for you aswell
ReplyDeleteHello from California. Crystal and I graduated from Duarte High School in 93. My prayers go out to the Nava family and the LaGrange family. I pray that God will give us all some sort of peace and consolation in knowing that Crystal is painfree and will always be with here in spirit. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.

ReplyDeleteA letter to Crystal
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the day we have all been dreading. A day we all knew would come but somewhere deep inside we all hoped for that miracle to come, begged God for it.
I dreamed about you last night. We were all gathered together in a large Catholic Church, dark, cold inside with light shining through the stained glass, touching the marble tiles lighting up our feet, warming them. As a group we stood there in the foyer, confused as to what was happening. Then the heavy oak double doors opened up to the outside. Sunshine, warmth, golden fields of….something…. barley, wheat? It was beautiful. There were long tables with white tablecloths stretching through the fields. There were children, lots of children, your children, running, laughing, playing in those fields. I walked outside and sat down across from you, your gauzy white dress flowing in that warm wind. You were smiling, beautiful, elegant, happy. You told me you had two days left and you wanted to say goodbye. We talked for a while, that easy comfortable conversation we always had about everything - marriage, children, work. An old woman was sitting next to us the whole time, a grandmother? Her weathered face was sad, protective of you. She looked of the old country, wearing that thin blue and cream floral dress. She spoke in Spanish throughout our conversation so I didn’t understand anything she was saying. I said to you, “You have two days, can I come back tomorrow?” You just smiled that brilliant smile of yours and the old woman said in perfect English, “No, it’s only for the boys.” I didn’t understand. I tried to get into that second party but was met at those heavy doors by two large, kind men, one in a black suit, the other in brown. Short black hair, dark eyes, mustaches, bouncers of the other world, but again, so kind to me. I asked if I could get in and they just smiled and said, “No, this is for the family.”
Overwhelming sadness that I couldn’t get one last glimpse of you, your smile, your glow, yet I feel this dream was a gift sent from you, joyous, letting us all know that one day we will see you on the other side, and what a remarkable reunion that will be. God speed, Mi Crystal Bonita, God speed….

The service today was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your memories of Crystal with us and allowing us to say goodbye to our friend. Gaven was a very brave, young man today standing and greeting everyone with his father. I know it must have been especially hard for Jason and the rest of Crystal's family to stand up in front of everyone and speak on Crystal's behalf, but they all did so very eloquently and it was touching to listen to. I know Crystal's spirit will continue to give her family strength to endure this difficult time and provide many memories of her to Aiden and Rylee.
ReplyDeleteSincerely-
Mary Kreiger (friend & co-worker)
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Crystal was loved and adored by all who knew her and she will be missed terribly. I greatly admired her for all her accomplismhments and her ability to brighten the moods of all those around her. I enjoyed her kindess and her beautiful laugh. Her children are so beautiful and she was such a loving and happy mother. I will always hold Crytsal and the entire family in my heart.
