This memorial website was created in the loving memory of our Beautiful Angel, Crystal Houser, who was born in Roseburg, Oregon on August 04, 1982 and passed away on May 22, 2004 at the age of 21. Not a day goes by when we don't think of you; remember your smile, your laugh and the sparkle in your eyes. They say it's not what you take with you when you go, but what you leave behind that counts. You left so much faith, wisdom, compassion and love that it would be impossible to know the full extent of the lives you touched and will continue to touch even now.
---------------------------------------------------
Crystal wrote this sometime before she died
TO REMEMBER ME
The day will come when I must leave
And everyone will gather for tears
Just remember my smile and believe
I didn’t waste a single year
Do not bury me in a hole
And call it’s name my grave
I want to have the control
To fly above the waves
When you go to the funeral sight
Don’t wear rags of black to see me
I want everyone to wear white
Shedding innocence and purity
Do not bring flowers to a memorial stone
For they will just die away
Just bring your eternal soul
Kneel down and pray
I promise I’ll hear you from heaven above
And I’ll guard you like an angel would
I’ll shine down because of Jesus’ love
And shine as brightly as an angel should
-cry

Crystal's Medical Condition
Crystal Houser suffered from a progressive congenital condition known as Eisenmenger's Syndrome, a cardiopulmonary disease caused by an abnormal opening in the heart. In severe cases, the best treatment option is heart-lung transplant. Crystal lived her short life with passion and joy, and with the full knowledge that at some point, a stranger's generosity would give her the best chance at a normal life by donating her a new heart and lungs. When Crystal finally received her transplant in the Spring of 2004, she was able to enjoy a long walk for the first time in many years. Sadly, Crystal succumbed to a complication only months after the surgery she had anticipated for so long.
Although Crystal is gone, her generous, creative, joyful, and courageous spirit lives on, not only in the memories of her friends and family, but also through the three lives her own organ donations so profoundly affected. |
