In Loving Memory of Crystal

With hearts both heavy and full of love, we share the passing of our beloved Crystal—our oldest child and only daughter. She was a light unlike any other, a spirit woven from magic, laughter, and an endless supply of fairy dust. From the moment she could hold a makeup brush, Crystal embraced all things beautiful, not just in the world around her, but in the people she met.

Before she even turned 16, she excelled at the glitter stand in an Arizona mall, outshining all others with her infectious passion. To Crystal, it was never about sales—it was about connection, about making others feel radiant. That same warmth followed her to the Belk makeup counter at Northlake Mall, where she transformed beauty products into a language of love, lifting others up with every brushstroke and kind word. Crystal never met a stranger. To know her was to love her, to be wrapped in her boundless kindness and nonjudgmental heart. She carried a gypsy soul, always forging her own path, embracing life on her terms. Stubborn yet soft-hearted, she lived with an open spirit, dancing through life with an unshakable determination to spread joy wherever she went.

Her greatest role, however, was that of a mother. Crystal’s love poured into her four beautiful children, and later, into her cherished grandson—her most precious legacies. Though her physical presence may have left us, her love, her laughter, and her endless sparkle will continue to shine through them.

Her absence leaves a space in our hearts that can never be filled, but we find comfort in knowing that her burdens are now lifted, her spirit soaring free. Rest easy, sweet Crystal. The world was brighter with you in it, and your light will never fade.

Fly high, our beautiful, glittering daughter.
