R.I.P Crystal Amber Sloop

My name is Marcus. We are the Sloop family, and have just endured a tremendous tragedy. On May 20th, 2017 my baby sister passed away in the early afternoon. She is survived by Mother Lisa Sloop, Father Marcus Sloop, Brothers David Langley Marcus Sloop Jr and Steven Sloop, two nieces and one nephew, seven aunts and five uncles, several cousins, and many friends. Before I can tell you how she passed I have to tell you how she lived. You couldn't tell it at first sight, but this girl was stronger than Arnold Schwarzenegger in the '80s. She was born premature on January 7, 1998 in Pearsall Texas. She was a surprise to us all from the get go. A very smart, beautiful, rambunctious, princess. She was the baby of four children, yet she was the strongest, smartest, and yes the best looking. She was all smiles from the day she was born till the day she had to leave us. She was in the gifted and talented program in her school. An achievement I never managed. But she had to leave school early due to her becoming very ill. She underwent a dramatic weight loss after being diagnosed as a diabetic. She had been battling for several years, but never giving up or showing weakness. She had the biggest heart too. She had so many friends and touched so many lives with her words, her smile, her laughter, and her passionate optimistic view of life. She always sought the best of someone no matter what they may or may not have done. She was a provider/caretaker to her father helping her mother and father in ways most children never have to experience. She loved Volkswagen beetles, and she was very passionate about art and music. She loved her TV shows lol, and don't dare let her find out you deleted something she recorded. She brought all her siblings together for a day when no one else could. No matter how much we fought and bickered at the end of the day she would still go out her way to help either one of us no questions asked. She lived the last few years of her life in and out of hospitals, never complaining, always worried more about everyone else first. Making sure her mother didn't have to cook after a long day at times spending her last dollar buying dinner for everyone. Even though she would barely eat any of it herself. We later discovered that she had Addison's disease, along with a thyroid disease, and her body wasn't creating insulin. She stopped receiving Medicaid when she turned 18, and didn't have life insurance because....well we never imagined something like this could happen. On May 19th 2017 she went to the ER not feeling well, she had not really eaten in two to three days and vomiting. They gave her fluids and a little bit of meds and she came back home. We went and got her favorite drink from Sonic during happy hour and a McDonald's mcdouble. This is usually a normal for us. I know that it shouldn't, but we learned to let God be in control and do what we can. She ate like half of her burger and just laid in bed the rest of the day. The following morning at around 5:30 am, my mother and I get home from her paper route and we are greeted at the door by my sister Crystal with a half of smile on her face because she was awake to unlock the door for us. She took her insulin for the start of the day as normal and tried to lay back down. In the next few hours to pass she began to have pain in her legs, arms, chest, back, and back of her head. My mother woke me up to take them to the hospital since we only have one vehicle. After taking them to the hospital, within half an hour to an hour she began to code. The nurses and EMS staff had to begin CPR. They had to work for 20 mins the first time to bring her back. Being so weak and ill, her lungs couldn't really handle it and began to tare and cause eternal bleeding. After fighting for four hours or more the Lord took our Angel home to be with him. My parents have decided to have a viewing and have her cremated. We are not a wealthy family by any means, and are not ones to ever really ask for anything, but help as much as we can when we can. I was told by several friends and family members to create this account so that we might be able to cover medical expenses and funeral expenses. Whatever way that you can help is greatly appreciated. Whether it be through donation or prayers. Thank you for your time and if you knew Crystal thank you for being apart of her life.
