We lost two wonderful women last week, that were a part of the Camp Lejeune Toxic Water family. One was a widow who was in my group and had been with me from the start of the group and the other lady was a very courageous Marine.
When my husband was in hospice care the nurse told me that they tend to have the most horrible deaths. She explained that they do not give up easily and fight to the bitter end. You see it's a part of their training. They have to be tough and strong, leave no man behind.
I say that, to say this. I did not personally know Crystal Jackson Dickens but from what I saw from being in several Facebook groups, she was one tough cookie, who never gave up. She showed sheer determination and advocated on behalf of the community to seek justice even when she was not fighting fit herself, that in itself to me gives Crystal her flowers.
Betty's funeral is being held in NC and it saddens me that I will not be able to attend. As a community and a testament to The Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Widows Group we have clubbed together to send a floral tribute to Betty's family.

If any of you would like to donate even if it's just $5 your donation would be greatly received and I'll will be ordering the floral arrangement today to express how deeply missed Betty will be.
