I was sad to see that Crystal has passed away, but was glad that she was able to do so in your loving arms at home. I am glad that I was able to take care of her after she was born. Heaven has one more angel and you have a guardian angel to watch over you. Look to God to heal you in your time of sorrow, but rejoice that Crystal is in the hands of her maker. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
