I would like to announce a wonderful new addition of our family.
Her name is Barbara-Anne Champagne.
She is our long lost sister from Quebec.

Mom was on Facebook one night and called me to ask me if I had ever tried to look for Barbara on Facebook.  I said, "Yes, I had tried that but with no luck."  She said "Well I'm going to try anyway to see what I can come up with."  She came across one Barbara-Anne Champagne and took a chance in writing her a messege.  Barbara responded back the very next day saying, "You are my Mama.  "Oh, I have been looking for you.  You are so beautiful, my mama."
Well needless to say we were all blown away.  We needed to see pics of her and she looks just like mom.  There is no doubt this is the real McCoy.  This is our beautiful sister, Barbie, whom we have been searching for, for 30 years.  My mom has now got a new reason to be alive and take her mind off of Daddy's passing.  
Momma can finally be truely happy and I have my sister back. 
I have always been blessed with and love the two sisters I grew up with and now I have three.  Our family is whole again.  
It was always confusing telling people that I do have three sisters.  Mom had 4 girls but one was missing.  Then I would have to explain why.  I hated having to do that.  Now I can tell people all about my beautiful little sister, Barbie.
Can you see the resemplence?  It's uncanny.  
I love you, Barbara-Anne.  And 

WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY!!!







Momma and her Four Girls
Together again

I would like to introduce you to
My Beautiful Sister and my Best Friend, Crystal Tyanne Danz

Welcome to Crystal Danz’s site. Life is a wonderful gift, full of precious memories that should never be forgotten.

Crystal is not only my sister, but my best friend too.  I am proud to call her my sister.  She has a very kind and generous heart and she is very fun to be with.  I dedicate this website to her because she helped me through a very tramatic event which was tramatic for her as well.  Together we pulled through.  We had each other.    Thank You Crystal. 

My sister and I lost our father to a stroke on September 13, 2006.  We loved him dearly.  Crystal lived out of town,
 but  when she heard of the news, she was able to come home for a visit to be with him.  Dad was doing very well and gave us all much hope for a recovery. Crystal was only able to stay for 4 days because had to return home to work, but I text her often to keep her updated.  Only two days after she left to go home dad took a turn for the worst and had a second stoke.  
That Tuesday, September 12, I had to phone her because dad was not doing well at all.  It didn't look good.  It was extremely painful for me to have to keep calling her knowing she must be sick with worry and had no way to come home to be with her dad. 
After he passed away in the early morning of September 13, 2006, I called her to give her the news.  I just couldn't bring myself to tell her so I handed the phone to our aunt.  Crystal didn't even cry over the phone.  She was so strong and brave.  But I know she could not hold it in after she hung up.  She and her boyfriend Josh had a good cry and talk together.  Then Crystal created a website for our father on Memory-of.com.(www.earl-danz.memory-of.com )  She worked on his website for days while also planning to move home to be with our mother.  She moved in with mom for a year.  Until she felt mom could handle living alone and was doing well enough be alone.  She also helped me get over the guilt I was feeling for being the one who was with dad when he passed away.  We were both there for each other and I am so thankful to have had her. I see Crystal not only as my sister and best friend but as a Hero too.  

I hope you enjoy your visit to Crystal's Website.  

This website is still under construction.  Please visit again for updates

Crystal and Me on my Birthday.  December 24, 2006



This is our Family.  
From left to right, our sister Tammy Schmidt, our baby sister, Crystal Danz, me, Darla Burmaster, Dad, Earl Danz, looking down on us from Heaven and our wonderful and strong mother, Linda Danz.  This photo was taken 2 months after our beloved Father passed away.
We had the photographer ad the photo of Dad




After Crystal started the memorial website for dad I started looking at other peoples websites and saw such beautifully designed graphics made for there loved one personally.  I started going into the forum and rquesting the same for our dad's website.  I decided to ask one of the ladies how she does it and she told me of designing program I could buy for my computer.  I now make my own personalized graphics and have enjoyed making for others as well. 
 I made this graphic for Crystal.  It's one of her favourites.

 

These pictures were taken when Dad went to London, Ontario to visit Crystal one month before we lost him.





Crystal didn't have a spare room for dad but she wanted him to be comfortable.  She purchased an air mattress and was blowing it up with an air pump.
I have no idea what was so funny.



This is Crystal with her boyfriend Josh Sullivan who was also a great support for Crystal when she couldn't be with her family after dad's passing.




During Dad's visit to Crystal's, they went to the Zellers Restaraunt for breakfast.  Crystal is pointing out what they were ordering.



This is Cali,  Crystal's cat.  Her and Josh rescued her from being abandoned along with her siblings in a parking lot behind the place Crystal worked

Crystal's last birthday celabration with her Daddy

This is Dad's urn.  We chose to get the one that came with a small matching urn so that Crystal can always have her Daddy with her.  The larger urn is at home with mom.  Where Daddy wanted to be.
