My Angel - Crystal Michelle Fallin

In memory of Crystal 

who left us too soon…

We remember you 

in the morning,

In the night, 

when we look at the stars,

A song, a place, a smell.  

You are always with us.

As long as I live

Your legacy will live

As long as I live

You will be remembered 

As long as I live

You will be loved.

My Angel, My joy, My child,

Forever in my heart

An eternal flame of love

In remembrance of you
