Happy Heavenly Birthday Chrissy! I always remember your day, the day before my Abbie´s. Just wanted to ask you to take care of my Liam who left us too early and suddenly. It is so hard and missing him so much. I wish you were here so I knew I had a good friend to talk to and understand the closeness of our children and the special bond that you and I always had with ours. I loved seeing your Rachel not to long ago she is doing well. You left her strong. Love your friend always.

Hey baby,

Well it is so hard to believe that our baby girl has turned 21 already. It seems like only yesterday that the tornado hit Mechanicville. We always believed, that rare weather event put you into labor weeks early. Rachel celebrated her 21st in style, by enjoying pizza and wine at an outdoor cafe in Italy. She sent me some beautiful pictures. So very proud of her acccomplishment of winning that internship which includes spending a month abroad. Time just continues to fly at an unbelievable pace.

Loving and missing you so very much,

John and your two babies XOXOXO

May 12, 2019

Happy mother's day baby! Another major trigger day that comes and goes so quickly, but not before it slams me like a fierce ocean wave. So grateful for the gift of our two babies that you gave me. I see you in them everyday.

We plan on seeing John this Summer at one of your favorite places, Saratoga Racetrack and we are really looking forward to it. We know you will be with us that day, maybe not in body but in spirit. Miss you, love ya.

Happy mother's day baby! The kids and I spent the evening at your parents today. Your dad made pizzas. You have given this day so much meaning to me. We so treasure this day in your memory, but it just doesn't get any easier. So hard to believe today is the 5th mother's day without you. I keep struggling with the concept of time thing. I just don't understand where it goes and it seems as though it picks up speed everyday.

Loving and missing you so much,
John and your two babies

Hi Chrissy, Happy Birthday in Heaven! I have missed you so much and think about you lots and how proud you must be watching down on your wonderful children. Rachel brought tears to my eyes with her beautiful voice during the Holiday Concert. I was so wishing you were sitting right there to experience it from here. John is such a young gentleman and becoming an amazing actor and quite a good singer on stage. I really do miss our visits. We could really use them this year. A big year for both of them and my Abbie. Abbie just can't say enough good about Rachel.She so enjoys that Rachel is always a friend to her and so polite to all. I am honored to have you and Abbie celebrate Birthdays back to back together. Always watching out for your two wonderful kids and being proud of them for you down here. Missing you, Maura

Hi Chrissey, I have been thinking of you a lot. You did a great job with the both kids, they are the best in the schools. I love working around them. I miss our mornings in the school parking lots now that they are almost graduated. Your Rachel and my Abbie are the best in their class. We would have lots to discuss. Miss our friendship. I remembered your birthday was the day before Abbie's. Happy Birthday, and keep watch, you always do good!

It's unreal how individual days can drag seemingly on forever, yet the months and years continue to disappear at such a fast rate. That rate feeds into the growth of the kids too ughhh. They are growing up sooo fast and there's no button to push that will slow it down.

I remember the day that you asked me to watch over your children (Rachel and John) at school. Well I took on that pledge that I would. John (your husband) is doing a superb job at covering both roles but I do know that I see that he is missing you immensely.
You would be proud of your children on how they are taking on life. There will be a day where we will meet in heaven as God promises and it will be a joyous reunion for all

Loving and missing you sooo much, each and everyday. Well, like we always said we would do, we finally made it to a North Carolina game this past weekend. It was at Boston College. Of course the kids wanted a road trip to see it in Chapel Hill lol...We will leave that option open on the bucket list. They had a great time, you would've loved it! Nothing changes here, except the day on the calendar. The heartache of missing you never goes away, it is constant.

Dear Chrissy,

I was so happy to get notice that your book is still on-line. It has been a wonderful way for me to talk to Sophia,and to help wade through some of the dark days of grief:(
Not a day goes by my friend that I don't think of you, and your beautiful family. I often see John dropping off John jr. at school, I know so well that look of constant heart ache! No words can describe it, and unfortunately only time helps it to find "a place."

My hope was to wish you Happy Birthday on time, but as all other things in my life, I am late! I'm sure you, and my little dolly are having a good laugh on me! That's OK, I know she's in good company:)

Happy Belated Birthday my dear friend, you are missed greatly! When days are overwhelming I think of that "Chrissy smile" and the troubles seem to melt away. Thank you for all that you brought to my life...

Squeeze my girl for me:)
xoxo,
Denise

Loving and missing you so much, more and more everyday.

You left me two beautiful gifts to cherish in Rachel and John...and I am so eternally grateful for that and all of our cherished memories together. Sending you tons of love, warmth and boatloads of hugs and kisses...each and everyday!

I am so shocked and saddened to hear Chrissy passed away. Chrissy and I were best friends in high school and those years will always remain very precious to me. She was a true best friend and I loved her. My thoughts are filled with all our memories....our laughter, silliness, tears. John, from the first day she laid eyes on you, she never had one doubt that you were the one she wanted to be with for the rest of her life. Mr. & Mrs. Lupe thank you for welcoming me into your home and family. Those teenage years were full of excitement, confusion, discovery, and FUN and there is absolutely nobody else in this world that I would have rather spent them with than Chrissy. I feel beyond blessed that we shared that time together, and there are no words to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss.

Chrissy was just simply one of the most decent people I have ever known. It's hard to understand why someone of this caliber would be taken so early. She is the type of person who makes you wish that you possessed more of her character traits. I really wish I were more like her.

She was beautiful and without an ounce of conceit, always sweet, smiling, very genuine...I tried to remember her not smiling and couldn't think of a time. She touched a lot of people's lives in the simplest of ways, how she treated everyone around her. It's been quite a few years since I have seen her and I am fortunate to have known such a wonderful person, we all are...

May 4, 2013

Laurie Rotondaro had a birthday party for me on what had to be one of the most beautiful summer days on record. I am a little bit of an anxious person, hard to get out of my comfort zone, so I asked her, "Well, who else will be there?" She said, "Oh, just my friend, Chrissy, you'll love her!" So I went, and had one of the best birthdays that I have had in many years - Laurie, Chrissy and the kids,laughing, talking, floating in the pool. There are some people who are caretakers of all of us. What a nice memory. - Anne Cary

Dear Aidala Family,

Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your lives. I first met Chrissy, John and Rachel when she came to meet me as Johns 1st grade teacher. I knew after that meeting how devoted she was to her children. She continued to show that devotion throughout the time I knew her. Nothing was more important or more precious than her children. Everyone has spoken of her positive attitude and her fantastic smile and zest for life which is so true but her love for her children and her family was the core of her beauty. John and Rachel always know you were the light of your mother's eyes and she will always be with you and watching over you. Her love for you will never end.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,

May 1, 2013

John, Rachael & John,
So sad to hear of Chrissy's passing. She was such a beautiful and caring person. You are all in our thoughts at this most difficult time.

I met Chrissy in October of 2001 in of all places, Walmart. She was buying shoes for Rachel and asked me my opinion on which shoes would be the best for a pumpkin patch field trip. We started talking and almost immediately I felt like we knew each other forever. She was so nice and down to earth. We discovered our newborn sons were born on almost the same day, we were both stay at home moms, both our husbands were self employed and we both had a love for shopping. Chrissy and I remained friends thru the years and our paths crossed frequently at the ball field. She talked so highly of her children and how her husband was such a "good guy." We always laughed together and she gave me great advice over the years. I will miss "Chrissy from the Mall" very much.

My thoughts and prayers to the entire Aidala and Lupe families.

Lori Young

May 1, 2013

I am so very very sorry for your loss. I knew Chrissy when we were very little kids and she lived on Lowell Street. I always wondered how she was doing and what became of her after she moved away. Reading all of the notes of condolences it seems as if she remained the beautiful person she was a child. I will pray for you and your family, as I also lost a parent at a very young age and know what her children are going through. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of you.
