Aunt crista,
I know i have already left you a message on here, but i have really been thinking about you alot. I have been thinking about how your smile shined so bright and your kindness filled the room. You always put a smile on everyones face when they needed one. I want you to know that you will always be missed, loved, and thought about. Alix and Eric have tried to be soooooo strong for you. And so has everyone else. It seems like its been forever since you've been gone. I know you are still with us spiritually, and in our thoughts. Don't ever forget, how many people love you sooooo much. You were just the greatest person to be around. You were the life of the party. Its not the same without you here. There is a big piece in everyones heart that is missing. But it will be filled when we meet again. I LOVE YOU TO THE STARS AND BACK. AND BACK AGAIN AND FOREVER. love devynn jade savage.

I only knew Christa from her work place - I was a frequent customer there and I always looked forward to seeing her when I had to do business there as she was always so pleasant and in a good mood - I always left with a smile on my face after giving her a payment or making a new loan.
I missed seeing her when I walked into the office this past week, when I learned of her passing - my thoughts are with all of her family and co-workers.

Crista,
You always make me feel more comfortable than anyone I know when I was around you and made me feel like i was part of the family. You were always accepting and willing to make something good out of the bad. You were always willing to help when I needed it. Thanks for everything you did for me. I will never forget the memories we had, all those crazy nights at the house and at the lake. You are an amazing person that showed through. Thanks for everything you have done
Love,
Mathew

To my Wicked Stepmother,
How do I find the words? The words to ease the minds of the ones who loved you so much. The words to tell myself that it's going to be ok without you, it definatly won't be the same. I sat down so many times and haven't been able to write down my thoughts, my thoughts of someone so great. How do you summarize so many good times? There are far too many. I guess all I can say is thank you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Thank you for bringing me my beautiful sister who I adore and whether she knows it or not she is my idol and I look up to her. Thank you for taking me in as your own. You took a piece of me with you. I will never forget you. I told you on mothers day that you help make me the person I am today and I thank you for that too. I could go on all day and I know when I leave this computer and press enter I am going to think of so many other things I could have said or so many different ways I could have worded this. THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. I will be there for Alix in everyway that I can and make sure she stays the beautiful amazing girl she is today.
Love your Daughter Always and Forever,
Angela May

Crista~
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change. My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go. They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole. They give me comfort when I think I am alone. Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there. But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious. I wish I could of been @ the funeral. I will miss you so much. My prayers go out to Eric and Alex. I will always remember how when you came to the bar and saw me in the kitchen and yelled "MARK, WHERE IS MARK?" I will remember you always Critta!

Crista, growing up with you was such a fun time, from our prank calling, butt pinching, door ditching, and our silly songs we made up, it created a life time of memories for our "Get Along Gang".
Your heart and life was always full of love for other people, it was amazing to see your life progress as a mother, wife and friend. and still be the glue holding us all together. You lived your life to the fullest making your dreams come true being a wondeful daughter, by marrying your true love, and by being the wonderful mother you always have been to Alix.
My heart and prayers go out to your family to confort them during this time of sorrow.
You were loved and will continued to be loved so much by those who knew you. I will always carry your memory in my heart Crista. I Miss you, I love you.
Your Friend, Stephanie

We sat in solitude this morning remembering Crista. She was so sweet and generous. We went outside searching for answers to so many questions. As we looked to the heavens for peace for all that are left behind, in a cloud was an angel with wings surounding a sweet face. It was then we new with certainty that the angel was taking her home to live in love and happiness with those that had gone before. She was at peace and now an angel for all that are still here. She sends her love and asked not to grieve for now she is at peace.

Crista, I cant even begin to tell you how lucky I was to have been a part of your life and just to think that if it wouldnt have been for (Billy) back then i would have missed out on that chance of getting to have you as a friend. I know that I havent been around for years but you and Allie have always been in my heart as true friends who would be there through anything no matter how far we lived apart. You helped me through losing someone I loved very much a year and a half ago just talking to you helped me soo much, I will never forget our times together especially the one favorite time of us going out dancing in our short shorts and those favorite boots I wore and you made me go out on the dance floor to dance for you to AC/DC you shook me all night long.That song forever became my dance song years after and a memory that no matter where Ive moved ,been or what year it was I thought of you and it brought a smile to my face. I love you.

Thank you all for everything and you will always be in my prayers and if there is anything you ever need please let me know. I love you guys.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Crista in person, but I did get to work with her through our employment. I can tell you this, the couple of times that I did get to talk with her, she floored me. She was so good at what she did. I have heard so MANY stories from so many that loved her. She will be REMEMBERED with a GREAT LEGACY. She WILL live on in so many hearts. My heart goes out to your family in this time of need.

Hello Crista, gentle soul. As you take the next step on your spiritual journey, know that our love goes with you. May you be one with the God of your heart and heal yourself with the light of life. May you be filled with peace, compassion, forgiveness and contentment as you continue your life in heavenly form. We loved you in life and in death we love you still. When God called you home, you took with you a part of our hearts and left behind an empty place that no one can fill. You are with God know starting a new journey, but you will still be alive on this earth in our hearts forever. I wish you peace and send with you our love as you take your next step. Accept you beautiful wings with honor my friend because you deserve them. The light you have brought into the hearts of so many will not be unoticed.And may your legacy live on through your daughter. Love and Light Dawn

Crista, I have started this so many times already and was not able to finish because there are so many things that I want to say to let you and everyone else know how much you meant to me. You always would tell me how lucky you were to have the family and friends that you have, but truely we the lucky ones to be blessed with you. You brought so much laughter in my life when I didn't think that there was any. Your ability to walk in my house and know just the right things to say and do to make my day. Most days on my way to work we would have our five minutes of trying to figure the world out. They say people are brought into our lives for a purpose and I so know that you have made me a better person. Thank you so very much for the beauty love and laughter that you brought to my family and me. I will forever love you. To everyone that may read this love laugh live, don't worry about the small stuff. Crista your beauty will live forever.
I love you

I am going to miss you very much. There was not one time that we talked to each other that you did not make me laugh. The times that we were together were so much fun. I am very sad to think i will never hear your words again "for sure" but they will always be in my head and my heart. You were my teacher, my friend and my therapist. I will never meet anyone like you again. You sure made an impact in my life and in everyone that knew you. You will be missed my friend!

MY LOVE there are know words to describe the loss I feel in my heart and soul. Even as I write this I search for the words that will tell you how much I LOVE YOU and always will. There are know words to describe it so I will just have to hope that the LOVE you overflowed my heart with was the same in yours and we won't need the words we will both know and that will be all that matters. One day I will share your smile again and you will share mine, but no matter how beautiful that place we walk together again may be it will never compare to the BEAUTY you have inside and out. Until then know this I will protect and care for Alix and Ang and every decision I make with our girls I will have you in mind until the day we meet again. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your life, being my wife, friend, and a wonderful mother. LOVE YOUR MAN 4 EVER!!!! And to anyone who may read this always be kind, gentle,patient,and loving to those you LOVE because you never know what each second might bring. I LOVE you all and thanks for everything our family appreciates all you do.

Crista,
Even though it's been a very long time since the last time we saw each other, it feels like yesterday. You were so funny and fun to hang out with. You had a sweet heart and a great sense of humor. One of my funniest memories from my teenage years involved you, a bunch of our friends, a Teddy Ruxpin doll, and an exercise bike. I'm laughing out loud right now just thinking about it. And the night my cousin Steve and I gave you a ride and we stopped at the 7-11... You were crazy. Or should I say craby. I'm not sure if you realize how close you were to being left there that night ;). I remember you loved music and loved to sing. You used to always ask me to play my guitar for you. I think I was supposed to write a song for you to sing? If so, I'm sorry I never did( you know how flaky musicians can be ;) ) Maybe I will some day. And I know you'll sing it beautifully. Until then.
Your friend,
Jeremy

I met Crista through Money Tree finance. She was always so helpful and friendly everytime I came in. I had not seen her in awhile and was shocked when I saw her obituary. I am truly sorry for the loss of a mother and wife. Please know she will be with you in spirit always and be your daily guardian angel.
