Christina Roberts Obituary

She worked at Northside Hospital Women's Recovery Surgical Unit. She loved the beach, riding bikes on the Atlanta Beltline, kickboxing, and friends. Her pride and joy were her two dogs Layla and Ollie. She was known for her laugh and infectious smile which lit up any room she was present in. She was a ray of light and made everyone feel special. She was full of joy and had a heart of gold! She genuinely touched the lives of every person she ever met.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those that loved and adored Christina, and those that never met her. Mourn for the former, for the gravity of what we have lost is almost too much to bear. Weep for the latter, for there will never be another quite like her. She was truly a one-of-a-kind treasure of a human being, and while our souls hurt so very terribly right now, we will forever be thankful that we were the lucky ones. We were the ones that got to be a part of the tapestry of her life, and that is a gift like no other.

Goodbye, sweet Christina. We will never forget you!
