I've got so many memories of crystal I don't know which ones to share here is one lighten the mood every year she come to my cookie exchange has a cook she was wonderful but couldn't bake the only kind of cookie she could make was chocolate chip which was your favorite and every year that's what she usually brought last year she come bouncing and so proud of herself she had made these cookies and put red and green coloring in the dough and to look at them they didn't look too bad but once you put one in your mouth they was hard as a brick so after Crystal left we threw them away but we never told her they were so awful 4 we would never hurt her feelings what she lacked in baking cookies she made up for all the extensive and creative cards she made us and the Beautiful individual handmade boxes she would put our cookies in. We all agreed that this year we were going to ask her to bring us chocolate chip cookie 4 she made the best. My dog Tippy loved her she was always bringing her treats. God I'm going to miss this girl
Crystal was always a fearless person to even as a kid She never seemed to be scared much about snakes etc one day Shana and I were at Crystals house we were about maybe 13yrs we were outside playing in the back yard she sees a black garden snake picks it up and begins to chase me around the yard as I am screaming please don’t throw that at me I run thru the back door of her parents house thinking I would be safe in there but nope she follow me right inside so I ran out the front door terrified finally she dropped it outside and since this day 23 yrs later am still afraid of snakes because of her She also had a real soft side to hear and always there for me whenever I needed her I remember countless sleepovers at her place throughout around childhood. Whenever we kept in touch outside of school we always were able to pick up where we left off as if no time passed I love her as a sister She will always be my forever best friend
