Not sure what to say?

Cristin will always be remembered by me for her kindness and generosity. Every time I was in town to see a show at the York Theatre, she was always there with a smile and eager to share her love for theatre. I still miss you Cristin

There's so much to say, I don't know where to start. I miss her letters. I miss her glowing passion for acting. I miss her honesty and humor. Forever admired, thought of often, and eternally missed.

The bright lights of Times Square are dim compared to Cristin´s smile and personality. I am and will forever remember Cristin and how her love of theatre just helped my love of theatre to blossom. Everytime I go onstage, I ask my theatre angels to help me and Cristin one of my theatre angels.

I was the manager of the York Theatre while Cristin worked there several years ago. I came upon an old contact sheet and, looking at it, the one person I wondered about was Cristin and I am so sorry to learn that she has passed away. She was bright and had so much love. Wishes to her family and friends...so young and so much ahead of her that has been lost for us all.

Best thoughts to you all.

Just know that I still think of you, Cristin, and I always will. You are not forgotten. Though you'll never read this, though our friendship ebbed, just know that my life was made more full when you moved in to my little apartment at the top of the city, and the world is lesser now that you've moved out of it.

Cristin was a light of joy, love and friendship to me. She will never be forgotten.

All of my thoughts and prayers go out to Cristin's family. Cristin and I had the best time working in the box offices at Union Square and Minetta Lane Theater. She was always full of life, a funny quip, and a HUGE love of theater. We talked endlessly about theater and travel. I will always remember her making a collage of 33 Kellis for Kelli OHara's 33rd birthday, our love of Little Women (starring Sutton Foster of course), her endless Kristin Chenoweth stories, and her European travel advice...

Not a day has gone by since the news of your loss that I don't think of and pray for you all...We are told to rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and to weep with those who weep. I weep with you, dear Lynn and Allen, at the loss of your beautiful Cristin (whom i wish we could have met!)and I quietly rejoice in the blessed hope that our Savior has provided...and I pray you will one day be able to truly rejoice in that as well. May Jesus comfort you as never before.

Lynn and family, you are all in my prayers. May God surround you with his love and peace always. There are no words to express my sorrow in the loss of your precious daughter. Only know, you do not walk alone.
