MASTERTECH01 YEAR 2008...MISSING MICHELLE
,OUR DEAR MICHELLE IS MISSING!
I am modifying my me page for our missing beloved daughter Michelle Crawford who disappeared on June 8th 1999, in Lawton Oklahoma. A me page is only as strong as the life that makes you who you are and Michelle is so much what makes my life worth living. She is 5'3", shoulder blade length blonde hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, and approximately 125 lbs. Michelle is a Junior in College here in Lawton, and "A" student, and worked at the Gibsons department store when not in school. She paid her way through school with hard work, and had very little time for entertainment. She cares for people, offers her time freely to help others when she has free time, and was a parents ideal hope for how they would want their child to turn out in life. She took the opportunity to go out to a movie, she was telling us, and when she kissed us goodbye for the evening on 8 June, that was the last time we, or any one else she knew have ever seen her. We are very heavy hearted and frightened with this horrible nightmare and if anyone see's our sweet Michelle we pray you will report her sighting to Police or myself. My email address is jpcrawford@lcisp.com or phone (580-355-3744) or call Lawton Police at (580-581-3250) Your prayers are very much welcome and appreciated. My name is John Crawford.UPDATE MAY 2000...Thanks so much for all your support these past months. As of this time there still has been no sightings of our dear Michelle, no witnesses, no evidence of anything since finding her car and posessions 5 days after her disappearance. We continue to hope and pray for her return...God bless you all and God bless our Michelle....
UPDATE JAN 2001..... well its now been a year and a half since we have seen or heard from Michelle. Our hearts remain heavy with our loss, yet we still hang on to the hope that someone somewhere will step forward and offer their help in solving the mystery of our beloved daughters disappearance. Though there have been very scant details at all, there is someone who knows..someone who carrys the burden of knowledge of the truth. We can only pray that one day it will be revealed to us so that we can have hope of closure in this excruciating delima. Our greatest hope is for a miracle...but alas so much time has passed and we must accept the reality of fact. God bless the many of you who have shared your time, resources, love, hope and prayers for our benefit, and on our childs behalf. I will never be able to repay it all but I know that God will bless you many times over for your kindness, love and compassion. We have in our home a little lamp..it is a figurine of an Angel..it has been on display near the front room picture window with the lamp burning 24 hours a day since the day Michelle was stolen from our lives..it shall remain so untill she is restored unto us..it is a symbol of our undieing love,hope and faith. Michelle was our first born and was a wonderful young woman who blessed us with such joy, and showed us what strength she had in battling all her Illnesses and heart operations, and won these battles to fight to the top of the ladder in all her achievements...and in her honor and example we shall not let this defeat us.. God Bless you all and thanks again for your love and especially prayers. In Gods hands are we, and in Gods hands we shall find our beloved Michelle...
UPDATE JAN 2 2002....Many of my great friends and strangers alike have asked about any news of Michelle. To this date there is still nothing new, no new clues, no new answers. Michelle, your angel lamp still burns 24/7 for you. We love you so dearly, and miss you and think of you each and every passing day. We know our Lord is with you, and in no better hands can you be than his. He blessed us with your presence, your joy, your love, and we will forever be gratefull for those years of our lives that you were with us to touch our hearts.
We thank all those who have stood by us to help us in our grief and who have helped encourage us. May God bless you all. John and family
UPDATE JAN 1 2003... Its hard to believe that it has been 3 1/2 years since losing our Michelle. So much has happened in this world that she has missed. Many happy and many sad. Michelle was a great friend to many, but perhaps her friendship was most missed by her pals right here in the home. Kathy misses that friend she could share so much with, her closest friend in the world, who also happened to be her daughter. I miss so much all the great things she did to make us so proud. Her scholarly grades, her pride in her work, both at school and on the job. Her personal accomplishments that shone out like stars in our eyes. And most of all, those little hugs and butterfly kisses Mothers and Fathers love so much from thier children, no matter what stage of life you are in. And her sister Melissa misses her buddy and mentor to a degree that only a sister would know. We miss you so very much Michelle and our only comfort is in knowing that you have the Lord in your heart and that he is and always will care for you... for eternity. And to that we look forward in sharing with you one day.
Again God Bless all those who have tendered out your love and compassion and help in our continued process of healing from a loss that will never stop aching one way or another. Your words of encouragement have given us another arm of hope and strength to carry on. We love you all and are eternally gratefull for your presence in our lives.
Update May 22 2004 It is incomprehensible to me that is has now been almost 5 years since Michelle has disappeared with no news to offer. Not one new clue, not one person has stepped forward with information. It is clear that the person or persons responsible simply have no conscience or remorse. We are resigned to the fact that this mystery may never be solved and that it will be unto God to levy out all judgement for this, and we can live with that. We find solice in his devine power and we know that even should the entire world forget Michelle and what has happened, our Lord will always know and will deal with them in his way. I know of no better way to find peace than to release it all unto him and trust him. Early on I was angered with the Police, with the press and thier seeming lack of concern, and with those whom withheld information. But as time has gone by, I have learned to be less judgemental and more understanding. I have seen many documentaries and read many stories of how all the best criminal investigations and great volumes of press interest still netted little in the resolve of terrible crimes by terrible people. Many people are in the same predicament of my family and myself. We are not alone in our grief, but also are not alone in our faith. Our Lord has provided comfort when no comfort could be imaginable. He has shown us how to be courageous and how to carry on in spite of great tragedy. He gives us hope in even the darkest hours of despair and we know he was with her in her time of need and holds on tightly to her to this day. No one can take that away from her. Michelle has something that no force of evil can in anyway steal from her, and that is her everlasting promise from our Lord.
Over these years we have recieved great amounts of encouragement and love and prayers from thousands of freinds and strangers alike. People who have children and people who do not. People who have experienced the loss of a child, and others who can only imagine the horror, but know the fear. I have links to this page posted from many sources. And I am gratefull to others for offering links from thier sites. The message I hope to convey more than any other is a simple one if for no other. Love your children as you love yourself. Give them every moment of your attention as they seek it. Never take thier presence for granted or let a day go by without expressing your love, commitment, and compassion to thier needs. Never let them feel for even a moment that they should fear coming to you with any problem, no matter how complex or humiliating it may seem. It only takes one moment of insecurity and fear of disappointment to cause them to believe they cannot approach you with a serious problem. That moment of insecurity could casue them to take matters unto themselves that could open them to extreme danger. A danger that no one can protect them from. You are the key to thier future, and you can either make a great difference for thier good, or place other things in priority and lose focus, and in a twinking of an eye, lose everything. For the loss of your child in my opinion, can be tantamount to losing all that you built your life around, and will leave your life an empty shell of what it was and could have been. Your children are INDEED your future, so PLEASE dedicate all your efforts toward THEIR future.
God Bless all whom have shared with us, and thanks to all for the many prayers you have offered up for our Michelle.
