Royce Reed Instagram – Yesterday morning I lost a piece of my childhood… a piece of my heart…and a PEACE in my mind. That tough love, support and encouragement you gave in your own special way will stay ingrained in my spirit. I find closure knowing you saw me, called my name and heard me say I love you. But it’s hard reliving the moment you went away. I can’t get that vision out of my head. I wasn’t around as much as I wanted to be but we always held each other down regardless of the months that would go by. YOU chose me. YOU chose Ashley. YOU chose my mom. YOU chose Ms Susan. I don’t know why but you do. YOU had a reason. I won’t question it. With that, I promise you; your village will hold it down. For your mom Ms. Saundra, for your kids, Olympia, Jab, family and friends… We love you Crystal. You fought till the end even when your water wasn’t cold enough. The strength you showed us will be hard to find but we will surely try. #cancersucks
