I know your lives had just begun with these two little angels that God put on earth for you, but God put earth in motion for a reason and things happen for reasons that we are just not sure of. Haley and Parker were very loving children from our small meetings here and there. I know that Haley and Parker will always be in your hearts and in everybodys that layed eyes on these two children.

July 3, 2009 - 9:16 am Maria McSwain - My name is Maria. I worked with Craig at the State Credit Union. I just wanted Craig and Crystal to know how much their story has touched my life, and rejuvinated my faith in God. Your earlthy angels are now in heaven with the Lord. And know they will always be smiling down on you and all the others they have touched through your story. My prayers continue to stay with you and your family. Sincerely, Maria McSwain

July 3, 2009 - 9:19 am Angie Gootee - You don't know me. After hearing your story, I was devastated and haven't been able to stop thinking about your family. My kids (4.5 and 3) and I have included you in ours prayers every night. Having never met you guys, it's odd to say that your children have given me a gift. Realizing how precious life is, I started a "mom blog" yesterday to capture the memories that I'm scared I'll forget. You've done that with pictures here, and it's an absolutely beautiful tribute. We are praying for you all.

July 3, 2009 - 9:22 am Jean Gallagher - Dear Crystal and Craig, Thank you so much for sharing these pictures of Parker and Haley. Parker and Haley truly are precious gifts from God. My heart shares in your grief that they have been taken so soon. I am truly thankful that they are present with the Lord Jesus Christ and will be together forever and one day you will each be with them there forever. I and our family are praying for you every day. In Christ, Jean and Gene Gallagher & John and Andrew (Christine's mom)

July 3, 2009 - 9:37 am Kim Hamrick - I have been praying for your family since Monday...I've shared your story with friends all over the world and they are all praying too.

July 3, 2009 - 9:42 am Joyce Hendricks - God loaned you both two precious, precious children and from everything I've heard and seen, He knew just what he was doing entrusting them to you. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through but I am so touched that you are allowing our Lord to comfort you through this and guide your steps. I did not know your family but am a friend of Nancy Wilkes here in Greenwood whose sister-in-law Kay is the grandparent's neighbor. Please know that we have been and will continue to be in prayer for all of you during these hard days ahead. Though we may never meet here on earth, you are our brothers and sisters in Christ and we grieve with you. What a blessed comfort it is to know that those two precious children will be waiting on you one day when Christ calls you home. God bless all of you. Joyce Hendricks Greenwood, SC

July 3, 2009 - 10:15 am Tammie Dennis - Craig and Crystal, I was so saddened to hear the news about your two precious children. I have been praying for you both as well as your whole family since the accident. This is such a tragedy and I pray that with the strength and faith of the Lord you will eventually heal from this. I know you will never heal completely but I pray it gets much easier for you to deal with. I enjoyed watching their photo video and know that you two could not have had any more precious and beautiful children. They both were VERY BEAUTIFUL children. You can tell from the photos what two incredible parents you were. I know they will be truly missed by a lot of people. Craig we miss you coming around the Florence Branch of SCU but I hope you are happy with your new job. If you two are ever coming through Florence headed to the beach sometime stop by the branch to say hi. Let us know if we can do anything for you. I will continue to pray for you and your family. May God Bless you both. With Many Thoughts and Prayers, Tammie SC State Credit Union-Florence Branch Employee

July 3, 2009 - 10:15 am Beverly - I could not imagine this. God comfort this family. And go let your children know how much you love them!

July 3, 2009 - 10:27 am Lindsay Valek - Parker & Haley, What beautiful, precious innocent children you are. In these past days, I’ve wondered and questioned over and over again to myself why God chose to take you so young. You no doubt had a bright and wonderful future ahead of you – exploring and learning about life and love. It’s easy for me to forget that you are experiencing so much more than that right now in Heaven. I have all the faith in the world that what Heaven has to offer is so much more than you would have ever found here on earth. Still, it’s painful to know how much you will be missed by those who loved you most, namely, your Mom, Crystal and your Dad, Craig. I never actually got to meet either of you but it is more than apparent how deeply your Mom and Dad loved and continue to love you. You will never be forgotten by them or by anyone whose lives you touched – even though you may not know it. You have already taught me an invaluable lesson and for that, my life is changed and it is because of you. You both would be so proud of your Mom, as I’m sure you already know. She has been fighting every day to get better and I understand that her surgery went well and every day she is making progress. Your dad, also, has remained strong and stood beside her, unyielding in his faith and love for her and for you both. You would be so proud of them. Please stay close to your Mom and Dad – for they will need you in these coming weeks, months and years. There will not be a day when you are not thought of by them and by countless others and everyone will eagerly await the day that they get to see you both again. Until then, do not regret. Do not fear. Be happy and find joy in Heaven looking down upon those who will miss you every single day until you meet again. Beautiful Parker and Haley – continue to teach all of us how precious this life is and how important faith is to all who accept it. Until then… Lindsay Valek

July 3, 2009 - 11:43 am Ginny Mattson - I watched the video slide show of your precious children they are beautiful! I am so sorry that you are going through this. Most people will tell you that can't imagine what you a feeling, I'm afraid I can as I was going through this 22 years ago and every day since. I too lost a beautiful son Ryan 6 and his siter Kelly 3 in an accident back in 1987. It still seems like yesterday. I know they are all with Jesus. Hold onto your Faith and each other. If you ever need to talk to another mother who's been through this send me an email. May the Holy Spirit send you the peace he promises, a peace that surpasses all understanding. (It's what got me through, and still does) Your sister in Christ, Ginny

July 3, 2009 - 12:05 pm Andrea S Jenkins - Craig, you and Crystal are in my thoughts and prayers. You all attended high school with my sister Alicia and I always remember how much fun of a guy you were. Remember how your children lived not how they were taken from you. No matter how diffcult, please know that God makes no mistakes and everything is done for the glory of God. May He continue to watch over and keep you as you continue to heal your body and your hearts.

July 3, 2009 - 12:07 pm Ashley Cody - This is absolutely beautiful! They are beautiful children. I am here for you in anyway possible. I pray for you and your family everyday! Love, Ashley Cody

July 3, 2009 - 12:27 pm Soo - There are so many days in our lives we take our children for granted and we find our patience levels running on fumes...yet we never stop and think that so quickly our lives can be altered and our hearts taken and broken. Words can never express how much we feel for you as parents. We can never understand the depth of pain you feel but only pray for your healing both physically and emotionally. The hurt never goes away from the loss of those we love. We just slowly learn to live with the pain day by day. We pray for you both and find strength in your solid relationship with God.

I know this is only the beginning of many emotions and questions, but turning your eyes to the Father from the beginning is the best foundation you can set for yourselves, and you are clearly doing that. Bill and I continue to support you in our prayers, and will be keeping up with you through Caring Bridge to know how to pray. Parker and Haley are so beautiful and I know they are dancing with their Mighty King in Heaven. Craig, from one photographer to another, I have seen you grow tremendously over the last year and your work is beautiful and full of heart. Keep on glorifying your Loving Father.

July 3, 2009 - 9:02 pm Joey Wells - Craig and Crystal, I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I can not, would not want to know what you are going through. I know this is the hardest thing you have, and hopefully will ever have to go through. I only hope that after everything you will grow closer to one another and know that there trully is a reason for everything. I know it can't be clear now but, hopefully one day it will be. If there is anything you two need please do not hesitate to ask. You guys take care of each other and please, don't hesitate to ask for anything. You can reach me at 803.351.6983 or email. Really, I would be glad to do anything for you guys!!

July 3, 2009 - 9:02 pm Lynne Oblachinski - I have grieved for you this week and cannot imagine the loss you must feel. I know Crystal's parents from the bank that I work at and my grandchildren played soccer on a team that played Parker's team. Thank you for showing the world that there is a hope beyond this flawed world we live in. As I write this tears are streaming down my face at these beautiful children. It is clear that they adored each other and were well loved. God gave them wonderful parents who made their short time on this a earth a life time of something special. I pray for Crystal's physical healing and for both of you as you heal emotionally. I know the love I see in all of these wonderful photos does not compare with the love they are now experiencing in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God continue to wrap His arms around you both. Lynne Oblachinski

July 3, 2009 - 9:02 pm Brandie - What beautiful angels. May God give you the strength to pick up the pieces and know what HE has in store. You do not know me, but many of my friends know you, and b-4 I even knew that, when I saw the story on the news I cried. And I began to pray. I will continue to do so, you are prayed for.

July 3, 2009 - 9:26 pm Melissa Camden - Craig, you and Crystal are in my thoughts and prayer always. Take hold of Jesus and let Him lead you through all of your days to come and lean on Him for understanding. He has a reason for everything that He does. Your babies are at the right hand of the Lord. He is holding them for you until you meet again. All my thoughts and prayers! Melissa Camden

July 3, 2009 - 10:08 pm Andrew McCormick - Praise God for his faithful servants. The Hewitt Family has been such an overpowering witness and testimony for the strength that is within us through Jesus Christ. It's only by his strength and grace that anyone could survive this emotionally and physically. I pray that through the overwhelming response to the Hewitt Family many will come to Christ and believe as they see the evidence laid before them. All to HIS glory and honor.

July 4, 2009 - 5:49 am Marmalade - Craig, my heart weeps for you & your family. I feel like I can't express my sadness for you without sounding trite. Your children are angels, so beautiful, so vibrant. I am deeply moved and my heart breaks for you. Many wishes for recovery for your beautiful wife and many wishes for healing and for grappling with this seemingly senseless tragedy. Marianne Drenthe, Illinois

July 4, 2009 - 6:49 am Lisa Hartig - Words can not express my sadness for you and your family. I only hope and pray that your hearts will heel in time. With our deepest sympathy, The Hartig Family of Chapin

July 4, 2009 - 6:55 am Marianne Smith - Craig and Crystal, your family is in our constant thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. It was great seeing the love of your family for each other and god through all these photos. We will continue to pray that God give you strength and comfort during this time.

Danny, Marianne, Drew, and McKenzie Smith

July 4, 2009 - 8:41 am Pam Stafford - The glory of God is revealed in the love, beauty, tenderness and joy that is displayed in your children. I do not know how to pray for you...I only trust that the Holy Spirit intercedes in a way that is effective and meaningful. In Christ, Pam Stafford

Take comfort in knowing that your little angels are now in the arms of Jesus. It is not for us to understand His will. But is it His will. God be with you both. In Christ, Nancy Pilat-Renner

July 4, 2009 - 9:03 am Valerie Davis - I did not realize until Tiffany told me that Crystal was her sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Looking at your pictures of your children's lives makes me appreciate my ten month old daughter even more! You think things like this never really happen to people that you know and when they do they make you realize that we need to make the most out of every moment. I can see that you both did that with your children. Although they may not be here on earth with you anymore, I know that they are your angles watching over you both. Children are gifts from God. We may not always understand God's plan, but I do believe that God needed Parker and Haley for something bigger and better in Heaven. I can see that Parker and Haley were best friends and I don't think that God wanted to separate them from each other. Although that leaves everyone else here to grieve over two wonderful children, I honestly don't think that God wanted Parker or Haley to grieve over losing their best friend. Please comfort each other and love each other. That is what your children would do and would tell you to do if they were still here. You gave them a life time of love find comfort in that they are with you and will always love you both! Much prayers and love, ~Valerie Davis Ware Shoals, SC

July 4, 2009 - 9:26 am Rachel - My heart goes out to your family. There are no words.... I'm just so so so very sorry for your loss. They are beautiful children. You will all be in my prayers.

We know that your angels are protected in the loving arms of the Savior and we pray for healing for you and Crystal. Our hearts ache for you both. Wendy, Mike, Jared and Reece Bell

July 5, 2009 - 4:56 pm Wendy & Randy Anders - I knew Crystal a long time ago and your parents Phil and Millie. We open our arms to you and hug and love you. We are thankful for the time you had with your treasures. Randy and I hold our hands open to the Lord and do it visually and literally holding our children and each other in them. I need to see it. Our 2 sons Joshua and Jonathan are in Iraq now with the Army national guard and our 2 girls are here. We hold them loosely. May the Lord continue to comfort you and give you wisdom as you make decisions and arrangements. The pictures were an awesome tribute to the Lord for His blessings to you.

July 5, 2009 - 6:41 pm Peace to C & C - I don't know your family, but this story has touched my heart. This is such a wonderful tribute to your beautiful children. Your families story is told in these beautiful pictures. There is so much love in your family. I KNOW that your children lived a very rich, fulfilled and blessed life on this earth. God chose such wonderful people to take care of his children for their "time" here on earth. God doesn't promise us our children, but for a "time." I know that no words that anyone says at this time can take away your pain and sorrow. I don't know what to say or what to pray. I do know that the will of God never takes you where the grace of God will not protect you. Precious ones, Crystal and Craig, please know that you are thought of every minute of every day by those in your community and many states away. Love and peace to both of you!

It is and will be life-changing for others who know you and for those who don't know you but read these messages and see God's face in your life. Know that you and Crystal are covered in prayer.

July 5, 2009 - 6:51 pm Sheri Kendrick - Crystal and Craig, I don't know you but I felt compelled to send you a note to let you know you are on my heart and in my thoughts. I heard about you through friends Karen and Eric. I am the mother of two small children and haven't been able to think of much else other than your loss. I am lifting you in love and light and hope that you find strength in your faith. Your children are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these photographs with the world. I will never forget you or your precious children.

July 5, 2009 - 7:00 pm James and Jamie - We are praying for Crystal's recovery and praying for you and your family and your incredible loss. They are precious precious. Our hearts are deeply saddened, but we know your faith will get you through somehow. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Words cannot express our sorrow. They are indeed angels.

How blessed you were to have such two beautiful and precious children in your life - I just hope that healing can begin. I will be praying for you and your family and for all the lives this tribute is going to touch! It certainly touched mine and I will always think of Parker and Haley when I'm cheering on our Gamecocks - what true fans you were raising them to be! God bless you and may Crystal heal - body, mind, and spirit...I know she will struggle dearly when this physical pain is over. May love bind you together...Love, Shelley

July 5, 2009 - 10:31 pm Angie - "...And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them." Psalm 139:16 My heart is broken for you all. Their little lives were complete, and I know God will continue their purpose in your lives. I am so sorry for the hurt you are enduring. I'm praying for your family.

As a parent myself, I cannot imagine what you guys are going through, but please know that the entire Cotton side of the family is with you. God doesn't always make it known to us what HIS plans are, but it is comforting to know that Haley and Parker are beside Jesus looking after you two.

July 6, 2009 - 6:35 am Jamie & Craig Riffle - YOu can see that beauty and spirit in both parker and haley, although I did not have the privledge to meet them, they have forever changed me.

July 6, 2009 - 6:47 am Sherry Stamback - May your hearts be comforted in your Faith. May your love illuminate the resonating beauty in life (and yes, in death). May your memories carry you through your hardships, and your pained tears make way for healing smiles. In less than six years, these photos illustrate, you all experienced phenomenal joys. Keep those blessings alive by celebrating your future too. You are in my prayers.

July 6, 2009 - 6:49 am Kellie Duckworth - Craig, There are no words to say to you.. I have wanted to pick up the phone so many times but did not know what to say, I love you and I am so sorry for your loss.... You amaze me with your strength and you are so true, God is the all mighty and he will take care of you and Crystal.. When you are up to it Give me a call, I would love to hear your voice...you and Crystal are in my thoughts and prayers....

July 6, 2009 - 7:00 am Joshua Duskin - I can not begin to imagine the pain you both are going through right now. I am not yet a father but from the short time I have gotten to know you Craig, I think I have an understanding of what it means to love your kids with all you have. This video is a testament to that love and I must say its one of the most heart felt things I have ever seen. As sad as the times may be, we are all only here for a short time in the grand scheme of things. Luckily for those who follow in Him, death is not the end but a joyous reunification with our Father in heaven. I strongly believe in this and I also believe that you two will one day find your kids waiting for you at the gates with the same smiles on their faces. May God continue to give you both strength until this joyous day and if there is anything you need I am only a phone call away.

July 6, 2009 - 7:03 am Kiki - Hi, I'm Meg Vandett's mom. I am so touched by your story and these pictures. They have a tremendous impact on the viewer. As I was looking at this I was wondering what I could possibly say that would make any difference, but I want to try. While viewing the photos I kept thinking how God knew that these two beautiful children would only be on this earth for a short time so he wanted to give them to two people who would give them the maximum about of love possible. It is evident to me that they were loved truly and fully. I pray God blesses you and comforts you. Kiki

July 6, 2009 - 7:04 am Lindley Hamilton - Craig and Crystal, What a beautiful tribute! Those are two beautiful kids! I am praying for your family!

July 6, 2009 - 8:43 am Jolie Shakkori - What do I say about the hole and ache in your heart? I questioned God and asked him how are you going to use this for your Glory? The boldness of your faith and the strength you have received is supernatural!! God has lifted you and will continue to do so... Your witness to others is more than powerful! It will become transforming to so many! Many would crumble at this tragedy! You have rose up with God's strength and cried out He is alive! Your two precious angels are alive with him! Praise the Lord! We never understand the why's but God's Plan is always perfect and He will be glorified through the darkest of times! Your children were well loved in this life and are being cared for more than we can ever know, Now! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Many prayers to you!

This is what it is to be loved and to know that when everything fell we'd be held. " These lyrics are all i hear when I think of your family. Your conviction to the lord in this time of tragedy is so awesome! Just hold steady and know that he is in control. He says he will never give you more than you can handle. I believe this to be true. Our family will continue to keep you in our prayers! May gods peace be with you.

May you realize in time that the impact these children had on the world, though short, was way beyond what some accomplish in a 100 years. May you realize that the work they will be doing together in heaven way surpasses anything they could accomplish here on earth. May the thoughts of a wonderful God with his arms encircling your children be the peace you need to get you through. Hold strong to him and eachother during this trialing time in your lives. My prayers are with you, God Bless.

July 8, 2009 - 1:01 pm Leslie Jones - Dear Craig and Crystal, Just as your precious children were... in a moment... in the twinkling of an eye... carried by Jesus to their eternal home, our 5 month old son was taken in his sleep to be with our Savior just six short years ago. What a privilege we had to parent these little ones, even for such a brief time. My life verse is now, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:25-26 Though your hearts ache and the void is undeniable, we know that God is faithful beyond all comprehension and that "peace that passes all understanding" will be a daily reality in your lives. You are now on a journey to walk through your pain and loss and find all that Jesus intended for you during your short time on earth. We hear of your trust in Him, of your faith in His goodness. There are already lives being changed forever as a result of your faith! And one day soon... in a moment... in the twinkling of an eye... you also will be carried to heaven and be reunited with Parker and Haley. Your tears will be a distant memory and your loss will be forgotten. There is an especially poignant moment in the movie The Passion of the Christ, as Jesus is carrying His cross to Calvary. He stops and sees his mother, Mary. The anguish and desperation at the thought of losing her son is almost unbearable to witness. Jesus spoke these simple words, "Behold, I make all things new." The cross and resurrection are our only hope in this sad, sorrowful, broken world. All will be made right. All will be as it should. Our son is buried at Chapin Baptist Church cemetery. Perhaps you have walked by his grave. The verse we chose for his headstone reads, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? Thanks be to God, who gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Cor. 15 This separation is just for a moment... Please know you are in countless prayers. We will be in contact to support you in any way we can. In Christ alone, Leslie (and Chad) Jones

July 8, 2009 - 2:49 pm Sean D. Fuller, M.D. - WOW! What a lesson your video just taught me about appreciation for all one has.

July 8, 2009 - 2:59 pm Nan Ocheltree - Our family and friends are in constant prayer for you. Just know your children's light have already shinned so bright on this earth that the light of Jesus will shine in others because of them. We will continue to lift you up and find comfort in the fact that Parker and Haley are together with Jesus who loves them more than we could ever imagine. Our love and support are with you always.

July 8, 2009 - 3:22 pm Laura Fowler - This is an absolutely beautiful tribute. You and Crystal will continue to be in my heart and prayers.

July 15, 2009 - 11:10 pm Michea Robinson - It is weird that I saw this today because something happened to me that I could not understand until God prompted my Spirit to reveal to me a way of how HE ALONE works... I am a waitress as Mi Tierra Cafe here in San Antonio, Texas. I am orginally from Columbia, South Carolina and graduated from Lower Richland High School. I am a single mom of a 2 year old. I have lived here in San Antonio for 12 years already... Today, July 15, 2009..A family sat in my section whom were very sullen and yet they were trying to keep their spirits up by talking and laughing. You could see in there eyes that they were trying to make the best of a bad situation. I waited on them and started to talk to them. This was about 3:30 in the afternoon. Come to find out that there was a newborn baby that was born the night before (born full term) Half brain dead, no kidneys and a whole in the heart not expected to live in the Santa Rosa Children's Hospital across the street. (Which is one of the leading facilities in Children's Pediatrics in the Nation...) Halfway through the meal the grandmother of the baby gets a phone call saying that the heartbeat was slowing. She gets up to leave...I am starting to cry as I am writing this letter to you, but it is on my heart to share and obediant to the Spirit I must be... The family is anxious to get back to the hospital, but finishes their meal in a hurry. I feel prompted to go pray for the family in the NICU at the hospital. I get there after work (5:15 pm) and the family is waiting in the lobby of the NICU...The nurse allows me to go back. I share with them the story of my son: whom, knowing I was going to be a single mom at the time of pregnancy, did not want at that time. I was praying for God to take my son from me...OH HOW GLORIOUS AND GOOD GOD IS...You see...My pastor's lost their son in '06 during Thanksgiving Weekend. He and I were the same age and good friends. After not talking to his mother for many years...that was the year the reconciled through after years of prayer. I was 3 months pregnant when I JUST found out about his death...(Please bare with me....) I was 28 at the time...Now I am 31...My Pastor's son was 28 when he died. He was a truck driver and he was driving through Colorado and the road had black ice on it...He was not wereing his seatbelt. The truck slipped and jackknifed...He died on impact that Thanksgiving weekend... A few months later...I am in the hospital giving birth to my son when my Pastor's Wife called to help me pick a name for him...I thought to myself...I already had Jeremiah picked out, which means "To Be Heard By God." My Pastor's sons' name was Matthew and in memory of his I called my son Matthew Jeremiah...Now mind you...In the beginning I did not want my son out of fear of becoming a single mom with no support..>Espically since my family is still in South Carolina..(I am not writing this for pity parties BUT ONLY to bring GLORY AND HONOR to GOD'S HOLY NAME!!) You see: God has a funny way of turning the bad around for the good...Well...a few months later a friend looked up the name Matthew on the Internet for the meaning. Matthew: A Gift from God...Jeremiah...To be heard by God...GOD HEARD MY PRAYER AND GAVE ME A GIFT...You see God used Matthew to change my life to bring me closer to HIM...My son just turned 2 on June 13 and I could not see my life without him... So you see...I used this testimony to minister to the family in the lobby today before I prayed for them...These people were complete and total strangers...I did not know them and they did not know me...Yes...I felt weird..but I also felt the Lord with me..prompting me...You see...This was the message: GOD TURNS THE BAD AROUND FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSES...ROMANS 8:28... After we prayed...The 22 year old mother was wheeled in with her young husband..>They had in hand their first child..already passed from this world to God's loving care...in order for the fmaily to say their first and last goodbyes...You see..this baby was not even 24 hours old yet...and she was born full term...Her name: Brianna Faith... I prayed for the mother...Luckily the family was saved..The grandmother pulled me aside and told me she relied upon the promises of God and KNEW that she would see her granddaughter in heaven again...OH HOW WONDERFUL GOD REALLY IS!!!TO HIS NAME BE THE GLORY>>>> As I walked out of the NICU to enter the elevator to go home to my son...The Lord revealed to me WHY HE had me pray for that family...You see as Christians...we know that God is with us during the hardest part of our lives...During this time...God told me: I used you to remind my children that even during their hardest moments of pain and suffering I AM STILL WITH THEM!!! I Will comfort them...You see...Right now as you are going through all of this...Be comforted in knowing that GOD IS STILL WITH YOU>>>I think you see that in all the comments and everything going on... YOu see for that fmaily...God showed HIMSELF through a complete stranger willing to be obediant to go pray them in one of their greatest time of need...And so it is with you..God Will Turn the Bad Around for the good of those who love him and have been called according to HIS PURPOSES!!! Be encouraged..>HAng on to HIS PROMISES AND NEVER LET GO!!! It is okay to yell at God and ask HIM why...Trust me...I have done it PLENTY OF TIMES>...AND you know what...I feel closer to HIM during those times...Does not the bible say that he knows what we are going to ask before we even ask and that we are formed in HIS imagine...Okay...If he created us and knows that we are NOT perfect...so how much more is it okay to be human with him..IT's OKAY!!! Go for it...Scream at Him!!Yell at Him!!!Trust me...He's a BIG GOD!!He can take it...Doesn't mean He will love us any less...No He see's your pain...The bible says He loves a broken and contrite heart..>That is one HE does not despise..That weeping may come at night but joy cometh in the morning...I am praying for you...I hope to hear from you soon enough...God bless...Michea Robinson...San Antonio, Texas

July 15, 2009 - 11:28 pm Lori Blum - Such beautiful children, thank you for sharing your precious memories! My heart & prayers are with you & Crystal...

July 16, 2009 - 10:53 am brandy sightler - i first heard your story on the local news, and i thought, this is tragic; two small children, so young, and so innocent. and today i was on the internet and a link came up that read, "in memory of parker and haley" and a picture of the two them came up with it. my heart melted as i put these precious faces to that story that i had heard earlier. i clicked on "tribute to parker and haley" created by their father. once it began and i put faces to these names and i see the family in this story. it was very hard to watch as a mother of two (a boy and a girl).as my heart ached for the both of you, i could not help but to put my self in your shoes and i thought i am not that strong, i would not survive if this happened to me. as i continued to think about it after watching it, i began to think of how great God's love is and the promises He makes to us. although, we are not always promised another day here on this earth, we are however, promised eternity more perfect than we could even imagine. with this said, always remember God's love for you and what he promises, and though sometimes you may feel as if you will not survive this or that you can't go on here with out them; remember you have to precious angels that are in heaven watching over their mommy and daddy. so from one parent to another parent thank you so much for sharing this tribute to your beautiful children with me. it helped to remember that we are not always promised tomorrow and that you should make the most of each moment you get here. i will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

July 16, 2009 - 1:15 pm Sharon Blackwell - Crystal and Craig...ya'll have been on our hearts and in our prayers. This is a beautiful tribute to your children! I still think of you and your sister and brother so tiny when Steve and I got married!!! Know that we love you and will be constantly praying!! Love Steve and Sharon

July 16, 2009 - 2:30 pm Beverly Bouknight - My heart goes out to you both and all of your families. As a mother who also lost one of her children, I especially can relate to your grieving and devastation. Things I know that helped me are: #1. Depend heavily on God to help you. Sometimes, I just got so tired from crying and greiving, I would just pray to God to please give me a temporary repreave and he did. On my sons tombstone, I put the poem "And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touch, For nothing loved is ever lost, and he was loved so much." #2. At Richland Memorial Hospital, there is a Berievement group called "Bridging the Bereavement Gap" head by Sue Heiney(sp)... It is free and worth MILLIONS. #3. There is a book named "Good Grieving" I want to say the author is Bob Dietz but I am not positive. It was a long time ago. It explained to me what was happening with me throughout the process. The book gave me sound advice about options I would have in a variety of situations. I really needed people to talk with who knew how I felt. Thank God someone wrote me and told me I could call them anytime. I offer to you the same.... I would love to talk with you and help you out in anyway I can... May God keep you in his arms and love.... Beverly and Tommy Bouknight. Irmo, SC

I can't fathom what y'all have been going through but God is awesome and never puts anything someones way that they cannot handle. I feel like Parker and Haley. The funny thing is I have a brother whose 18 months older than me and obviously I'm the younger one. Looking at their pictures reminded me of me and my brother when we were younger. You had gorgeous children. Anyways I will keep y'all in my prayers.

May the Holy Spirit, the great comforter, come to you in your tears and help you find a way to love and support each other. The hardest thing to do may be to have faith that God is aware of all that happens, and that there is a reason for what he lets and what he does not. I cannot speak for Him, but I do know this . . . Parker and Haley are in complete happiness and safety being with the Lord, and when God has determined to take you home many years from now, you will be together again with them. They will always love and want the best for both of you. If you so desire, I can share something with you that will bring you great comfort. Feel free to email me at SAHGOLTCHELET@aol.com. Yvonne

Just know that there are people all around the world that have you in their thoughts and prayers.

Hold tight to one another and to God, and he will bring you through this. Thank you for sharing the pictures of your precious children. Each picture captures the love that each one of you shared with one another, and you will have wonderful memories to last a lifetime. What beautiful gifts God sent you. You both can be comforted by the quality and quantity of time you spent with both of them. That can never be taken away! Craig, I am the mother of Kathryn, another precious and beautiful angel that you spent time with, capturing some awesome pictures of her. I want to thank you that you took time with her, despite your grieving heart. May the Lord Jesus Christ hold you and Crystal in his loving arms and comfort you both.

I'm praying for ya'lls family.

August 22, 2009 - 8:12 pm Marsha Drews - Dear Craig and Crystal, While I do not know you, please know that there is a family in TX praying for you. This next week marks the one year passing of my youngest son Christian. He died in a drowning accident just shy of his 4th birthday. I just want to encourage you both to cling to one another and to the Lord! The death of a child is not something you get over, but you can and will get through it. And I promise that it does get a little less hard with each day. We cry much but God knows each tear and shares our sorrow with us. If anyone knows what it's like to be separated from his son, it's God. I am so thankful that we can grieve with hope-- the hope that comes only through Jesus Christ. I am looking forward to that glad reunion day!!! Where we will never be separated again-- this time to be together for all eternity. If we thought our lives were perfect before, just think how much more awesome Heaven is going to be! Your photo tribute to Parker and Haley is absolutely beautiful. What a tremendous blessing to have so many precious photos and family moments captured. They look like they were great buddies and that y'all truly enjoyed each other as a family. I weep for you both. And I pray for you both. May God comfort you, give you strength and hold you close through this dark trial. Love in Christ, Marsha I Thessalonians 4:13-18

August 25, 2009 - 7:08 pm Juliet Bowling - God loves you and I'm praying for you guys

August 29, 2009 - 7:48 am Valorie Palmer Warth - Wow, the smiles are beautiful. I am sorry for your loss but know they are in the most perfect place right now and you will get to see them again for eternity! Hang in there and make sure you never forget that you both have each other with God and you two will be the only ones that share that. I pray this will strengthen your marriage and your future. God bless and remember this is not the end, it's just the beginning. Thank God this is the "temporary world" and He has the "perfect world" waiting.

September 8, 2009 - 1:36 pm Bevan Byrd - Craig and Crystal ~ You both are such an inspiration to me. I can't even begin to tell you how much. April of this year when Brad left us, I thought my whole life would end as I knew it. I tried everything, to win his heart back: God, Fireproof Book, you name it, I did it. The day I got the call about Parker and Haley, I realized then that my troubles where so small compared to both of yours and to Phillips. I prayed so hard that night that God could explain to me why BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. The answer I got was "My child, this is not a bad thing" I was so angry with God, my seperation, the loss of your children and it seemed like one thing happened after another. To the point that I have strayed from God. I watched this video again today for some reason. I just wanted you both to know, that I promise to find my way back to God and forgive him for this struggle that I have had with loosing Brad. I just realized that even though he is gone from our house, he is still alive. Thank God for that. Parker and Haley are not. I'm so sorry for your loss, but It sure has reopened my eyes. I rededicated my life today. 6 months ago you could not have made me believe that I would blame God for the devils work. I did. But I have rededicated my life, thanks to you and Crystal. I love you both so much. An Crystals parents, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love them and the whole family. I rejoice in the day that I get to see your two beautiful children again. Praise God for that! An I praise God for the strength that You and Crystal have shown me which inspired me to find my way back to our father in Heaven. Much Love, Bevan

September 12, 2009 - 1:25 pm Elisha Valdez - I am sooo sorry for your loss. My family and I will be sure to keep you in our prayers that GOD will heal your wounds. Your video is absolutely AMAZING. I, too, am a photographer and i ran across a page telling about you on Facebook. You remind me how important it is to always take pictures. Photos are amazing and they help us to be able to look back and cherish these precious moments. Your children were so beautiful. I will keep your family in prayer. May God bless you both.

September 15, 2009 - 6:35 pm Donnie Bouknight - It make me so sad for you both...I can just feel the emptiness you all must feel. I am so glad I got to see them at Crystals families house at Christmas. I remember talking to Crystal after the shock of hearing about the accident. I remember going and getting a drink for Haley...not knowing it would be the last time until we meet in heaven. I saw Parker running around. We are Tiffneys friends she tells how much loves those children and how much she misses them. Sorry we did not get to go to the Celebration. I had been sick for a while and I had to go to the hospital on that day I was having a hard time breathing, but my thought and prayers were with you all. I just ran in to this did not stop to think about searching would not have know where to look but, in looking this popped up the children are so beautiful they seem to just love each other I so glad that since they had to go that went together it would have been so hard to have parted. So now they are playmates in heaven. Crystal's Mother gave me the little blue card with their picture on it...looks like they are looking down from heaven. My girls Krystal, Sarah, and Sabrina is still talking about their hurt over the Children and being able to have seen them makes them have good memories of them...our prayers or for Crystals recovery and Craigs strengh to be there for her. Love in Christ Donnie

I have watched the video and read all the beautiful and inspiring email folks have sent to you. I've been very touched by your strong faith.

I saw the pictures, then saw the pictures of Haley and Parker. I wondered what happened to these children. I have been crying now for 2 hours reading all the comments and then I went to Caring Bridge and found the story. What a mighty God we serve! So glad Crystal is doing better....those children...so beautiful and sweet...I guess the only way you can go on is with God's help... You can tell you loved and still love you children very much...somtimes we ask why? only God knows why...and when... I just know they are happier than we are...for they are Sheltered In The Arms of God...God Bless you both and give you the strength you need to face each day...my prayers and thoughts are with you both.....Connie
