Our Dearest Christi... As I set here thinking back on all of our telephone chats regarding my Zack and his transportation to school over the years...Our talks we always took care of business first and made time for our families updates and some girl talk...Girlfriend you are so truly missed by so many of us...I always new and felt in my heart that what ever was needed to insure Zack's safety while on the bus you were always one step ahead of everyone, you took care of my boy just like he was your own! As I finish here I sit with a warm wonderful smile on my face as I remember so many of our mommy jokes back and forth...Christi you will always have a special place in The Team Trujillo Family's heart for all you have done for Zack and so many other SCOE and MCOE Special Education Students for so many years...God bless your babies and family during their time of sadness...It's not goodbye, it's until we chat again one day...

Christi you are a super mom and have an infectious kind personality. You were always energetic and full of laughter. I will never forget the time when you backed Robert up during a situation at Summit. You were a mom who knew her children's friends well and we thank you for all you did. The boys will always have a place in our home. Our prayers to you and your family.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear about Christi, I worked with Christi through SELPA for many, many years and she always had a way of making me laugh. Yet, she was no nonsense when it came to her position and she took it very seriously. I loved that about her. She was a wonderful person and I know she adored her boys. My thoughts and prayers are with her boys and family, as well as her friends and co-workers. What a senseless loss..... she will be missed tremendously by many.

I am having such a hard time taking all of this in. You were a great friend and I could always count on you. You touched a special place in all of our hearts and my family will miss you always. I know you will continue to watch over us and guide us as to which way you think we should be going. I learned so much and gained great strength in our friendship.

I am extremely saddened by the news of Christi’s passing. I met Christi through Summit Charter Academy years ago, and our children have grown-up together in the Aspire community. She was always such a pleasant and welcoming person, but most importantly an active, and devoted mother who loved her boys dearly… My heart aches for Justin & Nick. Words can not express my sorrow for their loss. Please know that my thoughts, and prayers are with her family, and friends during this time of mourning.

Some questions cannot be answered...and perhaps we'll never understand, but God in heaven is holding you now, even as you are so missed here on earth. Praying for His strength and comfort for the family, especially the children...and also we who were blessed to call you friend...Rest in His peace >

Oh Christi. Lindsey and I will truly miss you. She always looked forward to your hugs when you picked up the boys from school. She would brag that she "got a hug from Christi". Together we celebrate you and are very lucky to have known you. Our thoughts and prayers to Justin and Nicky and the rest of your family through this tough time. We love you and will miss you dearly.
