A Statement From Crystal
Dear Friends,
As many of you may already know, my family has suffered the unspeakable.
My husband has passed away unexpectedly at the tender age of 33. Not only was he my husband, but he was the father of our beautiful 3 children. We are devastated to say the very least & this is the hardest thing we’ve ever been though.
I’m asking for lots of prayers for my family right now. I was out of town when this happened, and my poor children are the one who found their father’s body. They are having such a hard time with having to experience that, so I ask for even harder prayers for my babies.
Thank you to everyone for your love, support, & continued prayers. And to the blogging community who have rallied behind me to help keep my blog alive during my extended absence as we try to cope, I can’t express my gratitude. This blog is my family’s only income now & it’s how I will provide for my 3 babies.
I just can’t express into words how grateful I am for each & every one of you.
Love,
Crystal
From Crystal’s friends: Many folks have asked how they can help. For now, one of the best things you can do is share MrsHappyHomemaker recipe links to your Facebook pages and Pinterest boards in order to keep her website traffic up. Please find a recipe you like and share it, or keep an eye on the MrsHappyHomemaker Facebook page and share recipe links from there. Friends are running this page for Crystal right now, in order to keep her blog going in her absence.
After many requests, Crystal’s family has set up a GoFundMe account that is being administered by her parents to help her transition to a single income and hopefully fulfill her wish of relocating closer to them. Click here to visit that page and read a statement from her parents.

Be assured of my prayers for you as you walk this road with your sweet children.

Please know you all are being prayed for and thought about now and even into the future when you feel like everyone has forgotten – we haven’t and we are still thinking of you all and praying for you all even though we may not post it on here… You are strong, you are loved, you are doing a great job being MaMa and more! *HUGS*

Heavenly Father, Jehovah Yahweh, we come together to pray that you will wrap Crystal and her family, and loved ones in your wings of comfort and protection. Give them strength and faith, keep them safe, and help her in every way to carry on without her husband.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. My prayer is that you and your family will be surrounded by love and that you will be comforted during this time of grieving and beyond! May God bless and keep you!
Crystal, I am so very sorry for your loss. Both you and your children are in my thoughts.
Firstly I am so sorry to hear of your devastating, sad loss. My heart goes out to you and your children.
A very similar thing happened to my family. My Daddy passed away, age 30, when I was 6 years old. My sister and I were the ones who found him as our mother was at work. Our mother crumbled, as did most of our family. My sister and I were left, like lost sheep to find our own way through as everyone dealt with their own grief. We could never ask or talk about him as everyone got too upset, that carried on right up to now, 33 years later. Most of our relatives who knew him well, grandparents and uncles, have passed on now too so we are left with the forever empty hole of unanswered questions.
I pray you keep strong for your children, don’t let them be afraid to talk about him and answer all their questions whenever they need to ask them. I hope too that you continue to keep him in your lives, you are now their doorway to him and his memory, you must never let that fade.
I wish you every strength to get through the coming days, weeks, heck even years. I know it won’t be easy for any of you, but you’ve got each other and your love is strong.
Oh man, I just have no words. Keeping you and your children in my prayers. I can’t EVEN imagine. :'( Hang in there.
I am truly sorry for your loss Crystal. Prayers going out for your family from mine. I pray that you and your babies can find some healing from this tragic time. Hugs to you all.
So sorry for your loss 🙁 Will keep you and your kiddos in my prayers. xo
I am very, very sorry for your loss! I can’t even imagine. You and yours are in my thoughts!
So sorry for your loss. May God provide for you and comfort you and your children.
I’m so sorry to hear this! I cannot imagine what you and your family are going through right now 🙁
I’m so sorry. I just wanted to let you know that my dad died very suddenly when I was little. I had an older sister and my mom was pregnant. I don’t know if this will be of any comfort for you, but we are all OK. Your kids will be OK too. They will hurt, they will cry, then they will be OK. The will. If you need anything, please, please reach out.
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. My father passed at the age of 35, he too was discovered by us kids. It’s a terrible loss.
Please let me add my condolences for your loss. Thinking of you and your family and sending wishes for healing and strength your way.
So very sorry for your loss. May a God help you and your children find peace in your hearts. Bless you all ❤️
I’m so very sorry for such a deep loss. I’m already praying for you and your children. I also lost my husband four years ago and God has been so very faithful to us.
Oh honey, so sorry, I know that doesn’t take away the loss or the pain. It is all in time. Be grateful for the time that you had with this wonderful man, and tell your children and yourself daily that daddy is watching and waiting to be with all of you again. On birthdays and special occasions, send a balloon to the sky to help them to stay connected to him. Attach notes from everyone and send it up.
I am so sorry for your lost. I will pray for you and your sweet children.
I am so sorry for your loss Crystal. I heard of you tragic loss through a fellow blogger. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

So heartbroken for you. A close friend of mine is dealing with a similar situation. She has three children and her husband passed away in May of this year. I can’t full comprehend what you’re going through but I’ve seen and felt a lot of the grief as I’ve been with my friend through this. I’m praying for you through this tough time and will be pinning/sharing your posts too. Just remember, as hard as it gets, you are not alone!
