My Heart is so broken . I think of you all the time. We were young restless and bored. Working on the night moves. You were one of my first true loves . I always hoped you had a good life. Your parents were the best. Wow . I'm sorry . God I still love you. I was thinking of you and typed your name on Google and this is what I got. You are a beautiful person and soul. I will see you in Heaven.

Christy was a truly beautiful person. I first met her in 6th grade. Her sister Liz and my brother worked at sizzling dog and that's how we met. Then we went to school together for the next six years all the while being really good friends . I remember having a major crush on her and would stop by her parents house and we'd talk for long periods of time. As well as on the phone . I just found out about her passing the other day. I'll miss you Christy , take care . Love Gavin

Christie I haven't seen you in years but I know that you didn't change much because I'm hearing all throughout these posts how you were loyal and funny and honest and had so much spunk (they're calling it spunk darling) haha I call it ornery. whatever you call it you were an amazing girl and you are leaving a void in this world. Thank God you have your wings now and you're being just as ornery upstairs!!! You loved your children and others with ALL of you. love love love you
