Crystal Jeanette Smith

I miss you Crystal. I did get to tell you a lot but I wish I would have said more. You are a staple in my entire working career. Your work ethic is truly, truly unmatched. You are such a role model of an employee and as a beautiful, strong woman, respectable woman. You scared me because you challenged me. You made me show up and step up to the plate and you never even knew what you were pulling me out of at times. Im kinda scared now that I don’t have you. You made me be a Leader at times I didn’t think I had it in me. You reminded me of who I am. Although mostly highly professional, we had a special connection. I always felt the true message when you sent a smiley face cause I could tell it was your way of telling me everything is ok. There never was before so I know there likely won’t ever be again, another team member/ person like you to force my feet to the fire. So I’m treating it as you giving me my beautiful wings same as the angels gave you yours. I know you’ll be here to help me be stronger forever. But I’m not gonna hide until you push me. I’m gonna go toward the harder challenges first on my own. Cause no one’s gonna care us much as you or more than me now. Beautiful, beautiful Crystal. You have been missed since the very first day things were no longer the same. I cannot wait til I get to see your pretty wings and get to talk to you again. Til then, I miss you tremendously but I will try not to cry anymore and I will pray for strength for your family too. So you can rest and relax now. In peace above the clouds. Love you Crystal.
