Crystal 9th grade Crystal7/31/86-3/28/04 Crystal at our 16th b-day party
This dedication page is currently under heavy  construction.  Sorry I haven't gotten around to fixing it all up yet.  E-mail me poems, stories, pictures & such that you would like posted on her page.  I'll try to get them on here ASAP.  I'm going to try to put some kind of text box on here so that you all can leave messages on here.  Sorry if this page upsets anyone, but its something I needed to do (& I thought you would all appreciate it). ~Jess
       What can I honestly say about Crystal that would show anyone who didn't know her what a great person she was?  I guess there really isn't.  If I were to try to talk about all of the good times that I, alone, had with Crystal... I would need several pages.  And this will probably happen anyway b/c I plan on putting any & all pictures I can get my hands on (yes, Katie , Erin, Heather, & Amber, even the embareassing ones) on here.  But for now I guess I'm just going to sit here & talk about her.  I mean... I knew her almost all of my life, & in that time I never had 1 fight with her. (which is really bizzare since we were both Leo rising sign Leo... but anyway.)
Crystal at Katie's
     Crystal was born in OK 1 day after me, & exactly 1 days' drive away from where I was born in OK.  We met in either pre-school or Kindergarten... after 17 years, who can remember exact dates?  From the day we met we knew we would be friends for the rest of our lives.  Every time there was some family or friend, or, eventually, guy trouble, we were there for each other.  Its going to be really hard to get used to not being able to talk to her directly about anything thats happening.
      When I moved to PA for a year I didn't keep in touch w/ any of my friends b/c I didn't know their addresses or e-mail accounts or even phone numbers (I was like 12, I had them on speed dial at home).  The day I got

back we saw each other in the hallway of the Jr. High School & she grabbed me & hugged me.  And  it was like the entire world stopped for a min. & it was like in the movies when the rest of the world just swam by.  (I guess I should point out that Crystal was never big on hugging, saying 'I love you' or really any kind of open affection.  But if you knew her as well as some of us did... you could feel what she wasn't saying.  And when you were confused about how she was feeling, you could just look into her eyes & know exactly what she was thinking, & how to change her mood if it needed changed.)  I think that is, by far, my favorite & clearest memory of Crystal.  Except for mybe teaching her cats gymnastics when we were little.  Or running around pretending we were unicorns when we were really little.
   I wrote a poem for her in 7th grade.  Its on my
poems page, but I'm going to put it on here anyway when I get the time.  Erin & Jennifer wrote poems about her after she passed away.  They too will be on this page ASAP.  But right now, I'm getting kinda sad, & wishing she was here, so I'm going to go listen to "I Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd (It was one of her fav. songs, & ironically it was our class song this year) & have a good long cry.
       I know I'm not the only one who misses Crystal, & I know I'm not the only one who wishes they would have spent more time with her.  But let me point out that Crystal isn't the only friend that didn't get enough time with her friends.  If we learned anything from loosing Crystal, it should be that we all need to spend more time together.  And if we learned nothing from Crystal herself, then we are truly a sorry lot of people who didn't deserve her friendship while she was here.
