Christina, We bonded over Peanuts, movies and 80's trivia. You were a great friend over the years. Who woulda thunk a Coke girl and a Pepsi girl would have gotten along so great. I'll miss you chica.

Can't believe you are gone. I will always remember how good a heart you had. I will also remember the first time I got you to dance at the fraternity party we went to. You weren't here long enough for people to experience your greatness. You were an angel on Earth and GOD needed his angel with him. I miss you lady and in time I will see you again.

Christina, I'm gonna miss our late night texts when neither one of us could sleep and all the random stuff we'd send to each other. 15 years of memories...from our late night trips to krispy kreme to watching movies all night to talking on the phone. Friend, I miss you so much. I still can't believe you're gone. I love you, Christina!!!

We may be saddeded here but Heaven must be a happier place since your arrival. The peace you so richly deserved is now yours. May the Lord surround your family and friends during this difficult time with His loving comfort, He understands.

"Before this world had started
Before our lives began
God assigned us all some challenges
Some hard things to withstand
Each of us were given
Some difficult things to do
But God gave his bravest warriors
An extra burden too
So you were challenged with a body
That became broken and quite ill
But life could never take from you
A solid, determined will
You kept your face turned toward the sunshine
Trapped in a body that only knew rain
And chose to see the joys in life
In spite of constant pain
And though your body was 'oft connected
To needles, machines and tubes
You bravely faced each day with them
While expressing gratitude
For the chance of simply being here
Though to us it didn't seem fair
To see someone as special as you
So when you'd honorably completed..."
Every trial you were assigned
God chose to bring you back to him
Freeing your bright spirit and mind
Suffer in a body beyond repair
And though we'll miss you deeply
So cherished and loved were you... "
Christina, you were like my second daughter to me. Often you come and stayed with Priscilla and I. We love you very much but God love you more. Dios te tiene en su Reino. My heart goes out to your family. Love Cynthia Ahumada (little Cilla's mom)

A wonderful person indeed! I met Christina 13 years ago at Phoenix College, and developed a bond. We had some good and bad times but she was always there through it all. I will miss her dearly, and I know I will see her again. Thank you Christina for being a great friend.
