Missing you every day my dear girl, but mostly today. It is so hard to believe we lost you 10 years ago. You now have those wings to keep you in the air. No more planes or parachutes. Fly free my precious one. You have taught so many so well. Praying you, Piers, Egon and Bruno are toasting tonight. Don't forget to hug our loved ones with you for me and Uncle Red. WE MISS YOU EVERY DAY. Thanking God that love is eternal!

It's been a while since I have posted. Not because I forget to, but sometimes it is difficult. July 30 this year will mark the 10 year anniversary of Krystal's sunset. That is hard to take. So many things have happened in those years, but one of the BEST was the Grad School Graduation and the Marriage of Krys' Sister Jaime. Now known as Jaime Koch Hastings. We know Krystal was right there with Jaime on that beautiful September 27, 2014 day! We Love You Krystal Forever and Always!

It's sometimes hard to believe Krys has been gone 8 years. Sometimes it seems like yesterday she was playing the flute in our wedding and yet reality strikes. July 30th will never be the same for our family and I am sure her friends feel the same. We carry on and try to live by the lessons she taught us by being the remarkable person she was. She was born an amazing soul and I am sure she is an amazing angel. I will love her and miss her until my final breath. We shall meet again one day. Love from Aunt Mimi!

Today is the anniversary of Krystal's sunrise. Yet another birthday passes. Fortunately the memories do not. We love you Krys, and miss you terribly. XOXO

Can you believe today is 7 years. For those who never had the chance to know her, she is AMAZING!!!! Just google her name, I need say nothing more. Our hearts still break, we continue to shed tears but we continue to cherish our memories. Our family is stronger for the lessons she taught us. Today her mom, dad and sister returned to Key West and tossed those roses as they do every year. Aunt Mimi and Uncle Red toasted and fed her Crepe Mertle tree with Heinekin (to our "green bottle" girl). To her friends/extended family, I'm sure she is watching over you and I know how much she loves you; then and forever. I always come back to this site as I know how much this family means to her. Thank you.

Another year gone by. Krys you are still as fresh in our hearts and thoughts. Cherished and missed. Continue to Fly free. We all love and miss you so much. The hurt is still here but we know you are free. XOXOXO Aunt Kimmie and Red.

Hey Girl...you got your 6-pack last night. Someday you'll get them without tears!!! We love you and hope the green bottle are loved by all of you (Piers, Egon, Bruno and of course YOU!!!!) Thinking of you yesterday, today and always!!! xoxoxoxo

Hi Krystal!!! It will 5 years tomorrow!!! How time flies sometimes, but slows when we think of all our memories of you.....We know you are flying high!!! You will get your flowers in the Keys tomorrow; Mom, Dad and Jaime are already there and ready to throw them to you. You will also get your green bottle toast tomorrow from me and Uncle Red and all your St. Augustine Friends. We really miss you sweetie. It's so surreal; we all miss you so much as I know all your friends do too. We will see each other again someday. We love you and always will.....Aunt Kimmie/Uncle Red

Ok...It's been 4 years of Christmases that we miss Krys....Uncle Red bought me a digital frame this year and let me tell you......The best is downloading all the pics of Krys and her extended family. I now have over 2000 pics on there (OK, not ALL of her,but more than anyone else). Every one of the pictures brings all those WONDERFUL memories back. We are truly enjoying seeing the (memory) pictures of her smiling face.....She never was without a smile. Thank you to all of her friends who kept that smile on her face. We are sooooo proud! Krys.........We love you and will cherish your memory forever. We miss you. LUV U forever....Aunt Kimmie/Uncle Red

Happy Birthday Krys....You are truly flying high and watching over all of us. We will love you forever and never forget the memories. xoxoxox

Krystal is in our thoughts every day. Can't believe 4 years have gone by since her sunset. We'll be toasting her tonight. Also remembering Piers, Egon and Bruno this night. Hopefully they are all having fun together!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRYSTAL! We love you and miss you. You are forever in our hearts! Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Red!

Thank you....Thank you....Thank you....for remembering an awesome group!!!!! I'm sure Krys, Piers, Egon and Bruno would be in awe of the remembrances.....Thanks also for the pictures. Seeing pictures of Krys and the boys we haven't seen before is awesome....and Krys...always with a smile on her face. We can't thank you enough......Aunt Kimmie

It's hard to believe that 3 years have gone by. Seems like yesterday that you Krys were flying high! With those bright green eyes, vibrant smile and life goals set as high as you could ever fly. Not a day passes that we don't celebrate your life with us. Someday we will be celebrating with you again. Come on by for your heinekin celebration tonight. Your leaving us has been devistating but we have learned so much from you. You truly are a blessing that God gave us for those 21 years. We love you always!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Krys..... Wherever you are, whatever you are doing I know it's purposeful.....You are our inspiration and we will miss you always, think of you daily and love you forever.....We're sure you are at peace and following the MRO and everything that had meaning in your earthly time. Keep sending those messages.....we know you are watching over us.....LOVE Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Red.

Happy Sunrise Darlin'!!!!! We love you. I know your birthday party was great. We spoke with Danielle and all your friends. We wish we could have made it to the celebration but we know you understand. We miss you but are so greatful for all your friends that keep you alive in our hearts. It's hard to believe that you are 24 now (but eternally 21). What an amazing flight you had while you were here with us; all your accomplishment in life have been incredible. We love you always...Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Red.

Hey Krys....It's that time again....Sunday is the annual day you would appear at my door with that big blue bow on your head......I so look forward to my birthday present..(YOU!!!) Moving to Florida was made so much easier knowing you would be here to visit...I always thought that I'd have family so close and we'd see each other so often. If only I'd known that would be so short lived. Red takes great care of me, especially now with all we've been through. I know you are helping my recovery and I'll be walking soon. I saw your rainbow the other day. Your colors were so vibrant. I'll miss you again this year with the blue bow....It's so hard to believe that this is my 3rd birthday watching for you to drive up in your Jeep with the bow. I love you sweetie and will miss you alway....BTW Uncle Red and I will be at your birthday party with all your friends. November 17th is your sunrise and July 30th (2005) is your sunset. (Notice I didn't put the year of the sunrise)...You will always be 21 in my heart. We love you Krystal...FOREVER! Aunt Kimmie

Hey Sweety...It's two years tonight......You were with us tonight....I'm sure you know that....We poured enough Heineken on your tree tonght that you'd be "trashed".....A beautiful night with a full moon....All your family thinking of YOU, Piers, Egon and Bruno...We sure do miss you. I'm sure you got the flowers Mom/Dad/Jaimes threw you at Key West..that's your home....eternally!!! We love you Krys... and you will always be cherished and never forgotten!!!! xoxoxoxo Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Red.

Wish I knew how to PM....I'd send you a message...please e-mail me when able....kim292@bellsouth.net. Thank you for your post and she will keep you from those bees. I want to hear more, especially now! We are all missing her terribly. Aunt Kimmie

God Bless you...I know it's probably as hard on her friends as her family!!!! You are all so important to us!!!!Thanks for being part of her life!

Hey Krys...I almost forgot to tell your friends....(I know you already know) Grumpa came home from Rehab on Wed 7/11 and is doing much better thanks to you from his 7 bypass heart surgery. We know you were watching...We'll all be there to meet you...I promise....it's just not time yet for all of us!!!!! Thanks for watching over us!!! WE love you!

It will be 2 years on the 30th....It's hard to believe. We will be toasting her at our house at 9:15pm with green bottles (Heineken). We miss her so much.....Her friend Mullet(our yellow lab went to meet her 2 days ago and I know they are flying high together) and Krys are skydiving together right now and it's a great feeling knowing that she was there to meet him. Bless you Krys....We love you! Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Red....(take care of our boy please)

THANKS FOR POSTING THE PICTURES....I DIDN'T TAKE MY CAMERA FOR THE LAUNCH FROM HERE IN ST. AUGUSTINE. I GET TOO EMOTIONAL WITH THESE LAUNCHES BUT THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL. IF YOU WOULD E-MAIL PICS TO ME I WOULD APPRECIATE IT TO KIM292@BELLSOUTH.NET. MY NIECE IS KRYSTAL KOCH WHO IS FLYING HIGH WITH THE ANGELS NOW BUT WORKED AT NASA AND DREAMT OF THE DAY SHE WOULD BE ENGINEERING A SHUTTLE. IT'S VERY CLOSE TO OUR HEART! THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICS. (KRYS' AUNT KIMMIE)

Well, Uncle Red and myself (Aunt Kimmie) just returned from the park down the street to see the Atlantis Shuttle Launch....as expected, it was absolutely awesome. For those who knew Krys, her dream was to engineer on one of those!!!!! Well, she sat beside the pilot tonight to show us the most spectacular site. We live is St. Augustine FL and when they launch those shuttles and rockets.....Well, you can imagine our emotions. OK, I know....I'm the "Obnoxious Aunt" . But so proud of Krys. I'll attach one of her pics from the tour her mom, dad and sister Jaime took of NASA just prior to the MRO launching with Krys' name on the nosecone!!!! Heavenward side!!!! HOW COOL. She will ALWAYS fly high and free!!!!!!Thanks Krys for all those signs you send and please keep the crews safe! LUV U Aunt Kimmie (The pic is of MRO with sister Jaime...aren't they beautiful!!!!!!!!)
