I just found out about her passing today. Although we drifted over the years as friends sometimes do, For several years when we were younger she was the light of my life, The perfect best friend. We would hang out together all the time laughing at jokes and telling stories. Running around and hanging out at various friends places and stores . Some of the best years of my life were spent Hanging out with her . My deepest and sincerest condolences to the family (all of you)  I will truly miss you. The world wont be the same without you.  Ive never had a friend quite like her and i truly never will again.

This 23rd day fo September is a very special day to all of our family. 10 yrs ago today Scott and I watched our beautiful daughter Crystal Lynn marry the man of her dreams, Jevon Bowen (JB) per Crystal. He is the half that made her whole, Soulmates forever. Together they had 3 beautiful children together, Miranda Nicole, Austin Michael and Caleb Joe. These kids are wonderful with beautiful hearts. They were taught to love, be compassionate to others, respect, among alot of other qualities they possess.

 

Crystal and Jevon worked very hard to give their children every thing they needed, a home, family (lots of family) love and encouragement to strive for what they  wanted from life. To work hard to accomplish their future plans.

 

We lost Crystal 2 1/2 yrs ago, and life is not the same,never will be. But we have to go on no matter how much it breaks our hearts, because just like Crystal, we are strong together. She would want her children to have their dreams come true. She will always be watching over all of us, and be in our hearts forever.

Love you babygirl, your kids are great just like u. rip/lyl

 I was just going thru pictures of when Crystal and Nicole were young. The two of them were so funny and upbeat. They would fight and then make up minutes later. I have alot of pics. of them and their cusins Stephanie and Scottie, and Anthony when he was little.  Crystal,  be the only one who  would be allowed to hold her lil cuz. she is the oldest and so she was in charge.lol.  she was so protective of her lil cuz. and sister.  The rolls reversed years later, Crystal, and Nikki's cuzins were very protective of them against the boyfriends.  They would say dont  hurt my cuzins or you will deal with us.lol  Crystal was  the one that Anthony looked up to for advice and he would listen too.  He loved to go stay the week-end with them and the kids. Crystal and Jevon would wrestle with the boys and sit and talk to them for hours if they needed to talk.  She would be proud of her lil cuzins now .  She taught the boys alot be being the strong and independant women she was.  that told them do what ever it would take to make it in life.  thank you sissy for being the person you were.  i love you sissy-pooh 

Crystal was a inspiration to all of us and always will be. She loved life in general and loved the holidays especially. She shined when it came to giving those around her hope and inspiration to achieve whatever made them happiest in life. She loved to take the babies trick or treating , to see santa claus or the easter bunny , whatever made them happy. This year the kids are going to be a diva, scarecrow, and a bumblebee transformer, cute huh? Im sure she will also be there to watch them. We all think about her every minute of every day , and help the kids to cope and keep all their memories of mommy alive in their hearts. Crystal will never be forgotten. Be at peace little one, forever and always in our hearts.

HI BABY GIRL-Miss you 10 times fold-LOVE YOU FOR EVER & EVER

I may never have met you but I had the opportunity to be your son Caleb's first teacher. You would have been proud of him. He was a buys little guy, he kept me on my toes, he made me work :) but mostly he made me laugh. He was a very affectionate little boy he was always wanting to give his teachers a hug. He is very bright and smart. He amazed me at how much he learned and how much he knew. When he left he was beginning to read. He has the best smile, and seemed to have a lot of fun in Pre-Kindergarten. He graduated last Tuesday, we had a theme during our program, Caleb and his friend honored the troops by singing Patriotic songs including God Bless the USA which I think made lots of parents cry. During the program Caleb danced around and played with his hat....we finally just asked him to give us his hat which he did without any fuss and he continued on in his program he was cute. I wanted to write on here today so that your family knew that Caleb's first year of any type of school was a good one. He made friends and learned lots. It wasn't until after his graduation that I found out that his aunt Sherri and I went to Jr. High and High School together that was a nice discovery. As his momma I know you would have been proud of your little boy, I was. I would have loved to have met you.

Thinking of you, It still shocks me when i think of you and realize your gone, It wasnt something i expected at all. Some times i feel like im still in shock.   I realize one of the reasons why we were such good friends is the compassion you had. On top of all your other beautiful qualities you had that compassion in there and i related so well to that. The world is definitely lacking in that nowadays. Especially with you gone.  You were a friend to me when others made fun of me. You talked to me when most ignored me. You were the best best friend anyone could ever ask for. Will miss you definitely forever. If any of the family needs anything at all no matter how big or small you can ask me. jevon should have my number in an email i sent him. It would be my pleasure to do anything i can. I miss her alot.
