  1. CandleImageMy condolences to my San Antonio family. May God bless you, keep you and comfort you during this difficult time.

  2. CandleImageYou were such an amazing little girl. Always smiling. Meek, humble, etc. She gave awesome hugs. I loved picking her up from daycare then headed to get something cool to drink. I’ll always remember those big eyes and bright 🌞 smiling 😃 face. Your Christian ✝️ life showed as hope for all that came in your presence. Love but not forgotten. Mommy Mary Holliday 💖

  3. CandleImageMy heart is so heavy missing you, Crystal. There are no words that can truly capture the love I have for you or the space you’ve left in my life. You weren’t just my sister—you were my friend, my confidant, my partner in so many memories that I will cherish forever. From laughter to tears, from childhood to womanhood, we shared a bond that can never be broken.

    I find myself replaying so many moments… the talks, the jokes, the love we gave so freely to each other. I would give anything for one more conversation, one more hug, one more “I love you.”

    I pray that you are at peace and that you are watching over all of us—wrapping your arms around our family and especially the kids, guiding and protecting them like the beautiful angel you are. We feel your absence every single day, and life will never be the same without you here.

    I miss you more than words can say. I love you always and forever, sissy.

  4. CandleImageOur sincerest condolences and prayers for strength during this time of grieving for all of Crystal’s family and friends. She was indeed a beautiful soul. May all your memories of her be a blessing to you.

  5. CandleImageIn Loving Memory of My Youngest Sister, Crystal“ How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” [Psalm 133:1]
    Forever in my heart, forever in my loving thoughts. We shared many memories that I will carry with me every single day. Rest in The Most High God. You was loved beyond words, missed beyond measure in all our hearts. 💜🩷
    Love you,
    Your Big Sister in love💜🩷

  6. To my family, I am praying that God will give comfort in this time of sorrow. I love each of you.🕊️

  7. CandleImageWhen you’ve lost a loved one emptiness fills the air. Always remember that Jesus will be right there. He’ll take you through the sorrowful time and lonely times, too. He’ll even be there when depression comes over you.

    God sit high upon his throne he sees and knows all that goes on. There’s no reason to say “don’t cry.” Crying simply says that you care. As you cry just pray for God is already there. He wants you to depend on him for everything you need. Oh, and don’t forget to pick up your Bible and read. He will fill that empty spot with lots of joy and love as he watches over you from heaven above.

    When you’ve lost a loved one they cannot be replaced. Yet He will give you enough strength to put a smile back on your face. Time has a way of healing all wounds and broken hearts, too. Just take one day at a time and God will carry you through.

    My condolences and prayers to the family. Crystal was a beautiful bright light with a smile always on her face and an infectious laugh. She will forever be missed and always remembered.
