Our Precious Christina,
It's been a month already since you left us to be with the Lord. It feels so much longer than that. Your Mom and all of us miss you so much, but Dear Chrissy, we all know where you are. Your work is never done, you are shining through your beautiful babies and as always, your Love that you give is priceless. That always gorgeous smile on your face, your entire face smiled when you did, just like your Mom...I always told her that. Ronnee & Nicole's face smile the same way, because your Mom raised you guys so carefully and loves and adores all of you so much. I wish I could hug you, I make believe I do a lot, and it is a comfort, to a degree. My selfishness wants you here still. But I know you have much work to do from above and I also know you are holding Anthony and loving your Dad as well. May the Lord hold you always like we are all holding each other together here. I know you want us all to be happy and not cry, but that can't be helped sometimes. It's like a cleansing so to speak. Hey Chrissy, you got me going to Church, I've accepted the Lord as my Saviour and into my heart, like you did...because I know I cannot do this life here on earth by myself. Thank you for that gift, Christina. I am involved in a very wonderful Church and prayer group as well. And YOU got me to do this BabyGirl. I wish I could've thanked you when I saw you in March and April. I wish I knew that was the last time I was going to hold you skin to skin...until the Lord asks for me to come home, I have to be patient and wait to do that again with you. I am going back to Florida again on Tuesday to be with Mom, your gorgeous babies, William, Ronnee, Nicole & Todd. I love your friends that I met when I was there in September. Thank you for watching over us, Chwis Chwis Chwis a Coooooo. I love you so....Your gigi xoxoxo

Dear Debbie,
I am thinking of you (and your whole family) constantly since I ran into you today. Praying fervently and asking the Lord to grant you His peace. I can still see the precious faces of your three beautiful girls all surrounding you, loving their mother so well. And, you, adoring them.
I will always remember your Chrissy and her legacy will live on through those precious children.
Please contact me when you are able.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are like extended family to me and I am here for you like you have been there for me and my family. I have many wonderful memories of Chrissy that I will cherish. I think of her and before I know it I am smiling through my tears there was something special about the way she looked at people and saw all the good. If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to ask.
Peace be with you.
With all my love and sympathy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are like extended family to me and I am here for you, like you have been there for me and my family. The thing I remember most about Chrissy is her beautiful bright smile.Over the last few days every time I think of her I can see it and then before I know it I'm smiling through my tears. I hope this is the way we all remember her. Peace be with you.
With sympathy and love,
