Krystal, Don and Mom Lit a Candle for You Tonight / Krystal's Mom
Krystal
Tonight we light this candle In memory of you We mourn your loss with others Who have lost their child or sibling too
So many are gathered here today Parents, sibling's, family and good friends Remembering and honoring the child Whose life prematurely came to an end
The is no greater pain No grief harder to bear Then to lose a child to death It's not natural, it's not fair
So we cling to each other We the members of this forlorn club To tell our story, to cry ,to rage, to vent To embrace and to hug
We are The Compassionate Friends We need not walk alone We all walk this road together Until we too journey home.
-For the members of the Atlanta area chapters of The Compassionate Friends. Peace, love and light Mitch Carmody December 2007 heartlightstudio@aol.com
Thinking of you and your family as the holidays approach / Diana&Pauline Of Angel Norma Starkey (Friend)
Although I Never Met Krystal / Susan Wacholder (JoAnn and Don's neighbor ) Although I never met Krystal I feel I know her. The pictures of her, with her family, close friends and two little sons paint an image of a beautiful, loving and caring person. I offer my deepest condolences to all of you who miss her so dearly, and wish you strength and comfort of happier days to carry you through this holiday season.
Thinking of your family during the holidays... / Lynda Hight ((Garion Hight Mommy) )

Krystal's Step-Father's Poem - Don't Think I Do Not Grieve / Jo Ann Webb (Mom)
Krystal's Step-Father's Poem - Don't Think I Do Not Grieve
Don’t Think I Do Not Grieve Because I am Krystal's Step-Father. Don’t think I do not feel; because you see no tears. A river flows deep inside of grief, and loss, and tears.
Just because I do not cry , don’t think my heart’s not broken. I keep inside the misery of pain and words never spoken.
Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke, so you won’t see the pain; or notice how my hands will shake, or how I feel the burden "to be strong."
Each time I think of Krystal, my heart is ripped asunder. The loss I feel is mine alone. I must be "brave" for my wife, my grandsons, Daniel and Andrew, and my living Step-Daughters.
So alone and silently I grieve, As I try to be a tower of strength and haven of love for my wife, twin grandsons, and Step-Daughters. written by Jo Ann Webb Don's Wife and Krystal's Mom
Re:/ Stacey Miller (Friend of her mother ) It was so wonderful to get to hear such wonderful things about Krystal and to see this beautiful memory page that you made. Krystal was so lucky to have such wonderful parents who made her who she was while she touched so many lives. I am sure Krystal will never be forgotten.

It was great meeting you guys at Enota.
Butterfly/ Angie Babb (Once her student ) I a former student of Mrs. Duss, when she taught at San Pablo Christian school. I only knew her for half of the school year, but she still made an impact on my life. I miss her, even now. And I'm sure those who knew her still do. But we all have to be grateful for the time we had with her, and the time she had with the twins she had her students pray for every morning.
~ A Butterfly lights beside us like a Sunbeam ~ / Dana Abdelhadi (friend) Hi JoAnn, I saw this and it reminded me of your precious Krystal, it's amazing how i can see a buterfly or read a poem about butterflies and it reminds me of a beautiful spirit whom i never had the privlage of knowing, our angels really do live on JoAnn and continue to touch the lives of so many , God Bless you and your family and those two beautiful little boys of Krystal's ! Please take care ! love & prayers, dana
~ A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world; but then it flies on again and although we wish it could have stayed, we are so thankful to have seen it at all. ~ Author Unknown
Power of Positive Thinking / Deanna Myers Angel ^Shannon's ^. Sis (Another grieving sister ) Krystal's site is so uplifting! I have looked at it before, but read all the tributes today. I love how you put inspiring quotes and words to honor her. My mom showed me this site a few weeks ago and since we live in St. Augustine, we went to the sacred ground that Krystal's memorial bench is on. What a wonderful way to honor her. Imagine all the prayers being said for her every day!! My mom and I have attended one Compassionate Friends mtg here in St. Augustine and plan to go again this month. I hope it helps our family the way it has yours. Our sorrow overflows our cup and only the thought of Shannon greeting us in Heaven...keeps us going. Thank you for this site and for the wonderful words you have shared. Krystal and I are the same age and Shannon and I graduated from Terry Parker. I will continue to visit Krystal's site and will keep your family (and her sisters!!!) in my prayers. www.shanshyne.memory-of.com
Amazing/ Lynn (Passing by ) I often look through the memories pages but am always draw to look at this one at least once a week. I know only some small changes occur but I love to cry reading her story. I was draw to Krystal's page because I am her same age. Looking through her pictures reminded me a lot of our albums at my moms house. The love and passion of a daughter, wife and mother. The twins are so lucky to have such a beautiful and well loved mother. I am so thankful for people like Krystal that really shine the light on the world and motherhood in a whole new way. Hug those babies and love them as she would have been so excited to be with them every minute of the day.
I can cry with you... / Cindy Outlaw (B.J.,Wayne and Bucks Mama )
Jo Ann, there is nothing I can say or do that will make the pain in your heart any better and I'm so sorry. I know you love and miss your sweet Krystal so much. I haven't lost a daughter but I have lost three sons and I know oh too well the heartbreaking pain of grief. What I can do is pray for you and cry with you and I am. May the Lord give you peace for today and hope for tomorrow. Love and prayers, Cindy
