She went back to Japan in 1994 for a short visit and returned in 1996 to live in this area. She attended Old Lyme High School through her junior year, later graduating from New London High School. She was a very talented sculptor who was awarded two scholarships from the Lyme Academy. Some of her artwork was exhibited in the Mystic Art Gallery and the Hygienic Art Gallery. She excelled in drama, which she took at the Garde Arts Theater. She was very enthusiastic and intelligent with a good sense of humor. She was a gourmet cook. She had a tremendous love for the feline world and would bring home every stray cat and even a dog.

My Sister My Friend

Krystal May 12, 2010

We took care of each other. I'm in college now because I know thats what you would have told me to do. Not a single day goes by that your not in my heart and thoughts. I miss you so much, words cannot describe the amount of pain I feel for loosing you. We said we were sisters, we promised to grow old and be those old ladies with a million animals and lots of pot. I will live up to our dream :) I love you, its time for me to do what you always told me to do and flip the bird at everyone and start my life.

miss you
