Crista will always be remembered. We met in Washington DC, and worked together. I had the pleasure of also knowing Bonnie & Wally. I danced at her Wedding and met whenever I visited Dallas. Crista's beauty, shines so bright, in so many ways. What an inspiration she showed us all. Love you forever Celia

As we approach the one year anniversary of your passing my dear friend Crista, I will never forget you and how much fun we had in the 80's in D.C. We were just starting out hotel careers. You were the southern California girl and I was the Northern California girl. Thanks for our great friendship and fun memories. Love you!!!

I was Crista´s hairstylist. I´ve known her since 2017. She always light up my day. Even when she was not feeling well she had big smile . When I told her I was taking my mom to Hawaii. She bought me a tour book of Hawaii and the places to take my mom and I did. she was a bundle of joy. She even came to my wedding ceremony last year in October. I hope you found your peace and now you are gathered in heaven with your mom and dad. I will miss you and cherish our memories we had together.

I was Crista's makeup artist for many years and she was one of my most cherished clients. We always had a ball together chatting about anything and everything under the sun. She always had a such a warm demeanor and even in the face of her illness, she was so positive. I am beyond heartbroken that I will never get to see her again. My love goes out to Taryn and all of Cristas family and friends. I will remember her fondly, always.
