Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Sometimes I think you are still here with us!! I can not wait till the day I get to see you again and see you walking and out of pain. You put up a good long fight and for that I am grateful. I love you and will miss you sooooooooo much!

?Dear Christa,
All your burdens of life are over.
Heaven's gate swung open wide.
God said come on in now Christa
Please, leave your chair outside.
You were given a brand new body.
Without any wounds nor scars.
I know you are more beautiful,
Than even the brightest star..
When I heard you had gone to heaven,
I thought at first it was a lie.
So many times there was such little hope.
But you refused to die

When my dad died the first call I got was from Christa.
Because she couldn’t come to his funeral she wanted me to know how much she loved us and she was there if I needed her.
The when I found out I had multiple sclerosis and would end up in a wheel chair. She was my first call again even before I got out of the hospital. She told me Now she finally had someone to race her. We decided her house was the best racing spot because she had a big hill in front of it. Yall might not see...
