God bless you beautiful and gracious lady you will be missed.  You always had a big smile for me along with a great hug and kiss.  I will never forget the great luncheons at your beautiful home and your garden, and how you welcome us in.  Rest in piece and be with God.  Love you

Cryatal was a cheerful, caring,  talented,  beautiful person. We will all miss her at Ikebana. She always looked so pretty in her bright colors. She was devoted to  her family and had led a fascinating life traveling all over the world with her husband. Our condolences to her family.

Crystal was an amazing person - always cheerful, quick to laugh, smart, funny, loving, supportive and generous.  She loved ikebana and got tremendous satisfaction not only from creating an arrangement for herself, but sharing her creativity and passion with everyone else.  She had many other interests including music, art, and gardening, but was also equally interested in whatever topic you wanted to talk about.  Crystal was gracious and modest about her own extensive talents. And, of course, she was always impeccably dressed and coiffed!  She taught me to find moments of beauty and joy in every day, and to face the world with a smile. I will try to live my life following her example.

We will miss Crystal. Her hospitality was so warm and generous whenever we were in the San Diego area visiting her grandson, Robert Zook. We will miss her and her smile.

We will sadly miss Crystal and her friendship. She was a beautiful  lady inside and out. We knew Crystal through Ikebana International and the Ichiyo School. May God bless her.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I met Crystal throgh Ichiyou Ikebana.  It was pleasure and honor to know remarkable person like Crystal.  I enjoyed having a little conversation with her anytime I saw her at Ikebana show, because she gave me a vision how you can make your everyday life enjoyable one.  Rest in peace, Crystal.

On behalf of the family of Lorraine Terp, we extend our condolences.  Crystal was a beautiful classy lady and such a good friend to our mother.  We're sure they are up there with Hariku making beautiful floral arrangements.  Blessings.
Gaye, Jan, Kim & Jill Terp
