Kristal Ann
Kristal Ann
May 30, 1977 - April 22, 2008
Kristal after visiting the glass beach in Fort Bragg in January 2005 and getting caught in a rain storm.
Kristal passed away peacefully with our mom and myself by her side along with her little cat Ushi. She was an amazing person and touched a lot of lives. She will be missed by more people than I know.
She’s left a huge void in many lives, but she was also an inspiration with her strength and courage, wit and wisdom. We know the grief will come in waves, but right now we’re still smiling and laughing and are relieved she’s no longer suffering.

I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I am . . or to express how I feel right now . . having just gone through a loss myself. I wish more than anything that I could be there to give you a hug and sit and talk. I will think about you and your sister all day . . . and for many days to come. There’s no way to make this better, only ways to try to cope. I’m sorry for your and your family’s loss. But I am also happy too that your sister is no longer suffering. You will see her again, somehow. *HUGS*

Oh Shannon. I am so sorry. I know even when you know it’s coming, one can never be really prepared. I also wish I could be there and give you a hug. You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts. xo

Hold on to that joy as you experience the sorrow. Death causes the most pain for those left behind. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Peace.

I am so sorry. I know there are no words that will really help, only time and knowing she is no longer suffering. I wish I could give you a hug too and be there for what you need. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers this week.

I’m so sorry - there’s nothing I can really say to make it easier. Your family will be in my thoughts.

My heart felt sympathies are with you and your family. But even in this time of sorrow please hold on the the beautiful memories in you hearts and she will always be apart of your lives. I think it was beautiful that you got to say goodbye to her - many of us don’t have that oppurtunity.
You are in my prayers.

I’m so sorry, Shannon, it seems so unfair, but likewise I’m relieved she’s no longer suffering. My thoughts go out to you and your family. x

Oh Shannon, I am so sorry for you and your mom. Usually I am not at a loss for words, but this is one of those times that whatever I say or type or hope won’t be enough for you or Mom. Having lost a sibling so many years ago, I know that it changes you but even that changes with time. Love and hugs being sent your way.
