It was during this time that she reunited with the love of her life, Paul, and together they turned their lives completely around for the better. Crystal led her life by example. She made everyone feel special because of her warm and outgoing personality. She met no strangers.. She was a Daddys girl and told everyone that she loved them and meant it from the heart.

She had a beautiful voice and she especially loved to sing county music. Crystal loved her family and her "Bud Bud".
