It is with great sadness that I share this message. I received an email this morning letting me know that Crystal received news that her mom tragically died last night or this morning. She has obviously left to go home.
Only those of you who have experienced the loss of a parent understand the incredible shock and grief Crystal if feeling right now. I want to ask each of us to take some time today to lift her family and her up in your thoughts and prayers.
Life can be very challenging and overwhelming at times. This is when you pause, take some time to find your support system and lean into where you gain your source of strength. We know Crystal finds her strength in the Lord. He will give her a strength, a peace and a comfort that only He can give. Yet, He will also use those of us that make ourselves available. We can reach out to one another during these times to encourage and help. I am wholly confident you will rise up again just as you have for me and one another all through the semester.
I look forward to seeing you tonight.
Mrs. White

I would love to send something to Crystal from all of us as a class. Let me know if anyone is interested and if someone knows how to reach her.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jenny. We can discuss this tonight in class if you would like.
ReplyDeleteI received an email from Crystal's husband, Johs, tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe visitation and funeral are taking place at Bandy's Funeral Home in Nortonville, Kentucky 42442 on Wednesday from 5:00 - 8:00 PM (CST).
Then again on Thursday from 10:00 - 11:00 AM and then the funeral will be at 11:00 ... she is going to be buried at Salem Missionary Baptist Church's cemetery in Mortons Gap, Kentucky where both of our families have family buried.
My deepest regards go out to Crystal and her family. I am a firm believer that no one deserves to have an unfortunate early death. I wish we lived in a tragic-less world. I will have Crystal and her family in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let Crystal and her family know that they will be in my thoughts and prays. Makes me realize how lucky I am and to not take things for granted.

ReplyDeleteCrystal,
ReplyDeleteYou and your family will be in my prayers! I can not even fathom what you are experiencing right now. My heart goes out to you!!
I am so sorry Crystal! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteCrystal, God is with you and your family! I will pray for you all. I can't imagine what it is like to go through this, but stay strong!
ReplyDeleteI want to let Crystal know that she is in my prayers and to tell her that if she needs anything I am sure that me and SED 260 would be happy to help her in anyway!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your prayers. I'm having a really hard time. I have no desire to finish any work or do anything. I'm just so sad. I was so close to my Mom and I miss her so much. I know that she was a Christian and accepted Jesus as her savior, so I have comfort in knowing that she is with Him. I'm just hurting so bad because she's not here with me. Please continue to pray for me. This is the hardest time of my life.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I am soo sorry for your lost. I will continue to have you and your family in my prayers. If you need anything please let me know.
