Hi Janet.
Thanks for writing. I can only imagine what you're going through based on how hard this week has been for me. I am heart broken. I think about Crystal constantly and wish so badly things had ended differently.
I know how much she meant to you, Cindy, Jenny, Jackie, and especially Andrew. She used to talk and brag all the time about what a tough group of girls you were. She talked about how much joy she felt when Andrew came into the world and she only wanted the very best for him.
She completely changed my life and allowed me to look at things from a care-free self-confident perspective. Every day with her was different and exciting. Always surprises, flowers, food, or a special activity waiting for me. I couldn't believe the life I was living and that someone so dynamic and exciting could care so much for me. I am a completely different person after having known her.
I spoke over email with her a week before this happened and she was doing really great. She sounded happier and more together than I had heard her in a long time. She said she wanted to have cats again.
I'm glad you got the pictures. They do the Memorial no justice. There were a lot of people there and they were all genuinely devastated. They were all enamored with her. She had this larger than life super-star quality that affected everyone.
I hope that she was happy when she left. I hope she wasn't scared. I hope that she knew how much I always loved her. I hope she realized how wonderful she really was.
I want you to know that Crystal always appreciated how hard things were for you and that you did all you could for your children. Please take care of yourself. Give my best to everyone. Rick and your grandchildren too.

Warmest regards.
Elad
