To the family of Crystal,
I only knew Crystal for a short amount of time as I worked with her at the bakery. However, it didn't take long to realize how kind-hearted and wonderful she was. We lived down the street from one another, so we would carpool home from work every so often. Though sometimes timid, Crystal would open up immensely when we talked and shared in our mutual love for Harry Potter, as well as tell stories about funny customers and experiences at our past jobs. Crystal would tell me all about her love for music, and her participation in various bands throughout her musical career. It was apparent that she truly had a passion for making and sharing music.
Please accept my condolences, as I understand that this loss must be heartbreaking. Please know that although her life may have been short, Crystal will not be forgotten. Both I and others do and will continue to miss her as both a coworker and a friend. She was truly a wonderful young woman.
With my deepest condolences,
Becca Bukvich
