Not sure what to say?

Missing Christys presence - one of the best & easiest graphic artists I have ever worked with. And an all around gentle soul!

I recently returned from the Huntsman Senior Games in Utah, where Christy came to mind one day when I recalled making a Starbucks run with her. What a sweet, kind soul she was!

As a volleyball player with Christy, she talked about all her family and we even met your Mom and of course, Lindsay. Thanks for the updates. penny

Hello Friends of Christy

Can you believe I did not know these wonderful messages were here until just a few weeks ago? Such kind words coming at just the right time. It was meant to be. It is especially nice for my 87 year old mother to hear these sweet memories. She has declined some since Christy passed as she was Mom's lifeline. Big shoes for me to fill.

It was so shocking and sudden to lose my sister with no warning that it is still hard to believe. After a long line...

We again this year won the Gold in the 70s division. I thought about Christy a lot. I miss her so. She was a great friend and teammate. I wonder about Anita and Lindsey - where they are and how they are. I would appreciate it if a family member would contact me [email protected] and fill me in

1913 Huntsman Gold Medal 70s

I wish you had been here to share in our victory in the women's 70s Huntsman volleyball championships. It doesn't seem like a year ago that we played in the 65s and talked about next year.

Dear Family and friends of Christy,
We, the players from the Senior Games in St. George Utah, would like you all to know how much we missed Christy this year at the games. Life is short so be sure to tell those you love how much they mean to you; everyday if possible!

Christy and I used to play together when she came with her father & mother for the 500 Race. They lived in the double across the alley from our house. I just found a picture of her with my mother & sister Joan when she visited at race time in 1978. My husband & I were in Portland after Thanksgiving 2012. I am sad about her passing. I would have enjoyed seeing her again. Life is so fragile, my husband just said. Sorry for your loss. She sounded like an amazing woman.
