Dear Rhonda and family: Oh how my heart hurts and breaks for the loss of Crystal. Then in my prayers I am comforted to know that Crystal is in the presence of God, of beauty and of peace. I know Crystal is with you always and you will hold and see her again and what joy that does bring to us all that we too will see Crystal's smile and beauty, her adorable laugh all of which you got from you Rhonda. We must keep our eyes on heaven so we can be with Crystal again. Rhonda you Jeff and family are in my prayers for comfort and for God's words to be with you in healing. Thank you Lord for all the special gifts of life Crystal gave us. I love you Rhonda, Debbie Forbes-Stancil
