Other Information
Crystal (Clarice’s nickname) was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. She was known to be the “shoemakers’ daughter” and went to French language school taught by Roman Catholic nuns. She ran the shoe repair business for some time after her father died.After meeting her husband Don, she lived in various locations due to Don pursuing his career in various locations including the San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, Orange County, Folsom, and Milpitas California for 20 years total or so and White Rock BC Canada for about 5 years. Many concerts were attended to say the least and we had fun times and friends all over.
Crystal passed away at home under her husbands care after suffering from COPD for about five years and recently was diagnosed with Lung Cancer which quickly escalated to stage 5 and spread to her lymph nodes and brain.

My you rest in peace Clarice love you and miss you ❤️
I will miss Clarice ( Crystal ), with all my heart. I knew her most of my life. Many wonderful memories. They are still vibrant now. The world has lost a bright star.
I thought we had more time to be together again. I miss you so much. I wish I would have stayed with you longer.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I have very fond memories of Clarice in our younger years. She was so easy to get along with and I will always remember her for her laughter and great energy. RIP dear Clarice
