Cristina Muñoz Obituary

MUÑOZ, CRISTINA, Guido and Cristina Muñoz were married 12 years. Their career together was walking house-to-house as Jehovah's Witnesses offering Bible studies. Tragically, Crisie was killed on 4/25 taking a leisurely walk with Guido. Crisie loved her God Jehovah, her family and put people ahead of herself. A gentle, tactful and compassionate Bible teacher as well as a hardworking, unpretentious person, she was loved and will be deeply missed. Condolences may be sent to: Guido Muñoz, PO Box 772031 Miami, FL 33177.

To our dear brother Guido, Your aunt and uncle Bob and Cindy Batko came to Spokane for our Special Assembly Day. They wrote us about your dear wife Crisie. Please accept our condolences and know that you are in our prayers. Thanks to Jehovah and his promise of a resurrection try and think of this seperaton as "Conversation postponed."

Dearest Lisa, little Guido, family and friends,



I was deeply saddened, grieved and shocked to hear the news. I have been praying for Jehovah to grant you peace, strength and endurance during this difficult time and will continue to do so. I will fondly remember serving with her in Hammocks Village, in the RBC work and in the remodeling of our hall, not to mention other functions. I truly appreciated her and loved her. She is now like the seed of a delicate flower asleep during the winter, waiting for the warmth of the sun in the springtime to blossom once again with life. Jehovah promises a resurrection to his faithful ones and that is a promise which he will fulfill. Isaiah 55:11. That day is very near! With Warmest Christian Love, your sister and friend, Elia.(919)333-1514

Brother Munoz,



I can't begin to imagine the sorrow you must be feeling, but please know that you are in my heart and my prayers. Without meeting Cristina, I have no doubt she was a wonderful, beautiful person. How comforting to know that Jehovah has her in his infinite memory, ready to bring her back to a beautiful earth where her loved ones will be waiting for her. May He continue to comfort and strengthen you during this sad time.



With Christian love,



Nancy Neel (Cal's Mom)

I had the pleasure to meet Guido and Christy in Miami Fl when I came down to visit. I can see her radiant smile that could light up any room. She was a true source of encouragement for me. She will always be remember and I look forward to the opportunity to see her again in the new system of things.

Kevin and I are deeply hurt by the loss of Crisie. We pray that you take comfort in knowing that her life is in the best hands, Jehovah's hands. May Jehovah comfort you and your family through the pain of this tremendous loss. Kevin and I will do everything in our power to see Crisie in the new system. May Jehovah continue to bless you and your family.

I remember many zealous men and women of old recorded in the Bible. I can clearly picture them awakening from their sleep in the new system. I am sure their first desire will be to find all those resurrected who don't know Jehovah, and they will energetically proclaim to them how good Jehovah truly is.-John 5:28,29



I can certainly picture Crissie among those faithful and zealous brothers and sisters, serving side by side with all of us. I truly hope we all can prove to be as zealous as Crissie. She was faithful to the end; she is an example to me, my family, and to us all.



Certainly, the heavens were both sad and joyous the day she died faithful to Jehovah. That is how I feel as well. She inspired me to speed up my pace and to zealously serve Jah with a complete heart.



We can all take comfort in the fact that all of our loved ones who died faithfully like Crissie are in the hands of Jehovah, and there is no better place any of us could hope to be.-Eccl. 12:7

Lidia Gonzalez

May 12, 2004

Dear Guido and Family,



Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers ALWAYS. A great role model she was by her faithfulness, her exemplary modesty, and sweetness. I can only hope to accomplish half of what she did, or touch at least half as many lives. In such a difficult time the comfort I can draw is the fact that we can see Crisie again. More beautiful than ever, vibrant and happy. During this time however, may Jehovah give you his spirit to comfort you and to strengthen you in the days ahead, so that we may survive what is left of this wicked, wicked system and be able to welcome her back together.

You have my sympathy and prayers.



Your sister,

Lidia

I had the opportunity a couple years ago to have you over for dinner after a talk given in our hall (Greenway Congregation) and you have left an impact on my family and I ever since. As Pioneers you have both set such a wonderful example not only within your congregation, and in our circuit but also to brothers and sisters who love you both deeply all over the world. During your time of sorrow, I pray that Jehovah continues to comfort and bless your efforts Guido, in continuing your service. Your always in our Prayers...As she takes her beauty sleep...keep in expectation to once again share wonderful lasting memories in a system that will NEVER be brought to an end. Rev. 21:4

May 11, 2004

I was looking over some of the messages written here for the comfort of Crisie's family and it constantly amazes me how much love is shown in this organization. Ever since that Saturday night when I found out about the accident I felt like I was in a dream. I kept imagining her sitting at our dining room table laughing and telling us stories about her mom and family. It seems so unreal still and I just regret that I wasted so much time to finally get to know her, when every assembly I saw her and Guido together constantly. You could always see her bobbing blonde head above his and even when they were talking with brothers and sisters, they were always together. She was such a likable person and we had made plans just the week before she died to have her and Guido over again. I guess we'll have to wait till the new system for that. At least she was faithful to the end though. We can be sure that we will see her again and for now draw comfort from the scriptures for the loss. Until then she'll surely be in my thoughts and prayers. And I will try never to forget her and strive to do all I can to make it to the new system to see her again. ( And I just want to let the family know that you all are in every prayer I make :)

My dearest brother Guido,

I have known your family since the mid sixties. Your parents were serving as traveling overseer in Newark,NJ...I met you as a child but never had the delight to know your beautiful wife and our sister Cristina. It's times like this, where words are not enough to show how we feel or how we want to express our love to those who are suffering the loss of a loved one, but be assured my family is with you and your loved ones in heart and mind. Our hope is grand, we will not be disappointed, Rom 5:5...May Jehovah's loving-kindness comfort you always. We wait on that day when we all can say" Life without end at last" and welcome back Cristina as well as all of our loved ones...



Hope I can see you and your family soon.



Your sisters,

Daysi & Haydee

To the Munoz, Marziale, Gomez & Batko families:



We just want to let you know that we are thinking of you all the time. You are an amazing extended-family. One that truly relies upon Jehovah for comfort in this incredibly difficult time. While we do miss Crisie so much, it is your faith and strength that shines through and subsequently encouraged our family to serve Jehovah a little harder and to glorify his name a little louder. So, while this letter is meant to help encourage you, we would like you to know how very much you have encouraged us. We will continue to be grateful for the blessings Crisie has been leaving behind.



With Love Always,

Robert, Stacie & Madison Staump

Brother Muñoz: You probably don't remember me but we met many years ago when your father and mother had visited a gathering in the Homestead West (English) congregation back in the late 80's. My family and I, send our deepest sympathies. But, of course, we as Jehovah's servants have the greatest gift that Jehovah can offer all of us and that's his love and hope in the resurrection.



Our deepest sympathies,

Dear Guido,

I haven't seen you in over 10 years. However, it was always nice to hear about just how much a good name you & Crisie were making in the career you both chose to serve in. On behalf, of my wife & myself please accept one more expression of condolences & admiration during this most difficult time.

My Dear Brother Guido,

Our deepest condolences to you and your families. May Jehovah be with you all in this time of mourning. I truly appreciated the years we had together in the College Park Congregation. Your families, Munoz, Gomez, Marzialle, all made Janice and I feel as part of your family, which we truly are! Our hearts go out to you all, but especially to you, my dear Brother Guido. Jehovah blessed you greatly with a dear wife like Christina. May he continue to bless you and keep you and yours!

To our dear brother;

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. It is so wonderful to know that Cristina was loved and cared by so many people. Guido, please remember that she is in Jehovah's memory and as the brother said Saturday it is the safest place to be. Just think the next voice she will hear will be Jesus calling her out of the memorial tomb. Her family and your family, along with you will be in our prayers always.

Dear Bro. Munoz,



Unlike many of those here, I do not know either of you, but was sent the news of the tragedy from a friend in the area.



While you are certainly in the "house of mourning", what a "name" your wife made, as Ecclisiastes says, for herself to Jehovah and the friends!



I serve as an elder here in Washington State, and I can assure you that reading about your and your wife's example and the outpouring of love and affection I am reading from the friends is going to be featured to hundreds of brothers and sisters around our circuit whom you will likely never meet in this system.



Please take encouragement from knowing that your loss will be used by myself and likely many others to take strength and motivate us to be in a position some day soon to meet your beautiful wife whom we never had the privilege to know on this side of the new world.



Your Brother,

Jeff Baumgarten

Dear Guido
It saddened us greatly to hear of your loss. We know that Jehovah is greatly saddened also at the loss of this upright servant of his. However, please know that whatever lies in store for you in the future, the memories you two built up during the more than decade of your marriage will continue to profit you emotionally and spiritually on into the endless future. We also know that your hope for the future can be strengthened as you look to Jehovah for personal help to endure the feelings you face as this part of your life ends.
So with Christina's future life prospects firmly in Jehovah's hand, please know that our hearts go out to you and the rest of your and her families.

I just finished reading through most of the comments brothers and sisters have contributed to this guest book and I couldn't help but start to cry again. Thinking about Crisie and seeing how much she was loved in this organization is trully amazing. Jehovah really does bless us with the gift of making true valuable friends in his organization. I regret not taking the time sooner to plan more things with Crisie, my sisters and I loved her company and really looked forward to having her over. I wish this was just a bad dream but it's reality for now. I think, like many, the part given at her memorial was so fitting and so loving. I've never lost someone in death I cared so much about. Since I was little I remember every assembly and convention seeing you both standing together and I never really noticed till now how special your relationship was, you complimented eachother perfectly. Be sure not to change too much Guido because Crisie will be waiting for you in Paradise the way she knew you. And we'll be waiting to see her again the way we remember her. She's in Jehovah's memory and like one brother who wrote in said, that's the best place to be. Jehovah will bless you still and we'll see our friend again. Until then, we just have to press ahead so we can be sure Jehovah's smile of approval will shine on us like it did on Crisie. I send all my love for you and both families.

Dear Brother Guido and Family,



Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Although our hope in the resurrection helps to ease and tolerate our pain, it by no means mitigates our feelings of emptiness and sadness. We have and shall continue to pray to Jehovah for continued support and strength during these difficult moments.



As fellow pioneers, we share the joy derived from serving Jehovah full-time and we are sure this special bond has served and will continue to serve as treasured memories for you and Cristina.



Our warmest Christian love,

Elizabeth Reilly

Guido,

The words expressed on Saturday were very moving and gave us a glimpse of Crisie for those of us who did not have the privilege to know her as well. It's obvious that she touched many hearts as a wife, teacher, sister, friend.... My deepest sympathy and prayers to help you and your families through the loss of your beautiful Crisie.

Guido and Famly: I cannot express how deeply sorrowed I am by the loss of Crisie. She put Jehovah first in her life, and she was faithful till the very end. She was a pioneer and a wife, and that will continue to be an example for everyone till the new system when we'll see her bright happy face along with everyone else. Rev.21:4

Rachel M. Macias

May 5, 2004

Dear Guido,

Like many of the brothers that wrote in today, I don't have the words to express how sad I am over the loss of Crissie and how sad it makes me to think of what you must be going through. I have never gone through anything like this before and it is very hard although I know it's nothing compared to what you're feeling. I won't even try to compare it to that. I was so looking forward to getting to know the both of you better and trying to discover what it is that made you two work together so well. I would imagine that there will be very hard times ahead and that these will come and go, but please don't let them get you down permanently. Satan is trying so hard to break us, but I know that you're relationship with Jehovah is much stronger than that. So consciously or unconsciously for now, remember to lean on Jehovah to pull you through. Death is not a natural thing. It is an enemy and I guess that's why it hurts us so much and so deep. As much as you can, let Jehovah heal the hurt and never lose that trust in him. Keep strong until the end and you will most definitely see your wife and best friend again.



Love,

David & Esther McCarty

Guido,The Munoz and Batko families, and family and friends of Cristina; Words cannot express our feelings for you at this time. We just wanted to send our love to you all and let you know we are thinking of you always.

Guido,



Gary and I wanted to express our deepest sympathy at this tragic time. We keep you and both your families in our prayers. We were so moved by the words in the memorial service. It is clear that Crisie was highly esteemed by all - most of all Jehovah. Both of you were obviously an impeccable example to all - including us. We were so fortunate to have been able to be there with you and everyone on Saturday and look forward to seeing you again soon. In the meantime, stay strong and we know that Jehovah will soothe your broken heart. We send all our love and sympathy.



Christian Love,

DEAR BROTHER MUNOZ & FAMILY,



I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY HEART FELT SORROW FOR YOU. I MUST SAY FIRST OFF, I LOVE CRISIE. SHE WAS MY BIBLE STUDY CONDUCTOR FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS. I GREW VERY CLOSE TO HER AS A SISTER AND FRIEND. SHE WALKED ME TO MY FIRST DOOR AS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, AND FOR THAT I AM GRATEFUL. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER BEAUTIFUL FACE AND SMILE. CRISIE ALSO GAVE THIS OVERFLOW OF JOY AND ATTENTION TO MY SON NIGEL. WE BOTH FEEL SO HAPPY AS WE GLIMPSE AT PHOTOS OF ALL THREE US TOGETHER AT A DISTRICT CONVENTION LAST YEAR. I WAS VERY SADDENED BY HER DEATH, YET MY FAITH GIVES ME TRUE HOPE. MY SWEET FRIEND CRISIE, IS SIMPLY SLEEPING... MAY JEHOVAH STRENGHTEN YOU AND YOURS.

Tom and Sue Ripley

May 4, 2004

Both Sue and I would like to express our deep sorrow to you Guido and to your family. You and Crissie have been such an encouraging example for all young people in the truth that have put Jehovah first in their lives. We especially feel your pain as we ourselves have gone through our own losses of loved ones who we look forward to seeing along with Crissie very soon in paradise. Love you all.

Dear Guido and Family,



My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of my daughters are with you my dear brother. We feel deeply for the sorrow and the pain that you and your family are going through in losing one so dear. You are dearly loved, by the friends throughout, but especially by Jehovah. He will get you through this. One of my favorite scriptures that has brought me comfort during difficult times is in Psalms 94:18,19. Take comfort in him dear friends and know that we are thinking of you.



With all our love, prayer, and deepest sympathy,



David, Natasha, and Lauren

May 4, 2004

I express, my sympathies to you Guido Munoz Jr. for your loss, and I express much joy for witnessing such a great example! Matthew 5: 1-10 comes to mind, since those who are conscious of their spiritual need, have that hope of living in the everlasting kingdom.



I cannot express how much of an example you were, when I felt down, lonely, and even depressed. I cannot ever say, that I ever forgot about the genuine love Cristie and Guido showed me, when I was lost, and even distracted by the world, and it's temptations.



Thus, since you guys applied James 2:26 in your ministry, your faith was broadcasted by your 'works'. Jehovah has blessed your works indeed!



I express my love for the Munoz Family, the Marziales, Lisa Gomez, and finally Guido Munoz Jr. You will not only live on in my memories, but will live till time indefinite in Jehovah's Memories. May Jehovah Bless, and Strengthen the families in mourning.

Tonya and Jarvis O'Neal

May 3, 2004

Our Dearest Guido: You and Cristina set such a good example for couples in the full time ministry and we pray that we can imitate your faith. Cristina truly was the essence of a sister who served Jehovah with all seriousness, it was a blessing to know her. May the God of all comfort sooth your heart, soul, and mind and you are always in our prayers. We love you dearly.

Carlos Macias

May 3, 2004

Guido, how could we have known that the enjoyable times we shared leading to the assembly and that day itself would have brought such loss! On behalf of my family (the Rachels, Lisa and Sara), I want to thank you and yours for allowing us to share time and thoughts in your loss of Crisie. This weekend was a remarkable outpouring of love and friendship from all sides. And especially, Guido, thank you for the privilege of having shared in a small way together in our part as it allowed us many good hours together as families. In short order Crisie and you made a large impact on our family, one that we will not forget and that has had a very positive effect. We look forward to continuing such with you now and with Crisie joining us in short order in the days ahead. Know you are in our thoughts and in our prayers.

Guido and families Gomez, Marzielle, Munoz and Batko,



May you find comfort in knowing that your dear wife, Crisie, was so well loved and admired that a thousand people made the time to attend her funeral and to try to comfort you and your families. The program part that the both of you gave on the Assembly was outstanding, very encouraging and motivating. She, as a wife, daughter, sister, Bible teacher and friend will be deeply missed. As you deal with the pain of her absence in the days to come, continue to hold on tenaciously to Jehovah’s hand. He has a way of truly strengthening us when we feel we can no longer be strengthened. As the speaker said, we’ll never look at Luke 8:52 the same anymore – we’ll always think of Crisie. As you continue following closely in the footsteps of Christ Jesus our Lord, remember, someday the rain will stop, the storm will leave, the gray clouds will disappear and the sun will come out and shine more brightly than ever before. Thank God & Christ for the resurrection promise!



With Deep Christian Love,

Guido, Family, Friends and All.



Our family has known Guido since a very young age and saw him mature into a fine young man and husband, blessed with his wife because of his deep love for what he learned from his Father and Mother, excellent love and example and the family love with his sisters and congregations too. His blessing was a perfect match from what was obviously a similarly based compliment to him, Crisie. May we say that to know him was to know her. When such a magnifying compliment of two becomes one, it is such a treasure for the rest of us too. Maybe that is why our pain is such for us also. Our family is so grateful for their fine love and example (even as such young ones) to lead the way as they were shown by other mature ones, that walked the same road previously and gave of themselves that others may live.



With these thoughts above, a short poem is offered, inspired by their love for each other and and ours to them and our Creator.



To Guido and Crisie

With Agape Love:



You grew you focused and you matured.

You met you managed and you married.

You lived you laughed and you loved.

You made you weighed and you gave.

You followed you listened you learned and you led.

You walked you talked and you taught.

You came you stayed and you will remain.

You are loved you are appreciated you are valued.

We are thankful for your togetherness and your being.

It can be seen what a great impact Chrisie had on everyones lives. It is clear she was well loved by many and everyone will miss her. My heart goes out to you and your family as well as the Gomez and Marziale family. With our continued faith and trust in Jehovah, as well as our reliance on him, it won't be long before we can see her again. My prayers are with you.

Guido...family...friends,

Im so sorry,for this tragic loss. At times like this there isnt much that can be said, all we can do is pray to Jehovah and look to him for comfort through his word and all our brothers and sisters. That is what helps us stay strong, along with constant prayer. I will never forget the smile Crisie constantly had on her face, it was of real encouragement to me, it showed how happy she was in serving Jehovah. She made me see that there is no other way to live your life but with Him. I and many others will never forget the wonderful example she set. My love goes out to you Guido, the family, and all the friends experiencing this hard time. Jehova will ALWAYS be there for us...never forget that. He will make his promises a reality very soon. We all love you and we are all here for you.

My Brother Guido,



Life; we know is fragile as it is precious. The way one lives this gift we call life can transend even to eternity. Chrissie in her rest, transends and lives brightly in the people I know she touched. Her unblemished legacy and service to Jehovah is indelible. I pray for your fortitude and eventual reward soon to come. Remember, her legacy lives in you. Guido thank you for being such a fine example. May Jehovah grant us stength and peace in order to ease our pain.

James Fisher

April 30, 2004

Guido

To know what we know about this life and the new world to come does not ease the pain of losing someone, especially someone as powerful as Chrisie.

Even though Jesus knew he could resurrect his friend Lazarus he still gave way to tears.

Death is our enemy and Jesus has conguered death. Jehovah has Chrisie in his memory and there can be no better place to be.

Our prayers and our hearts go out to you and those around you.

Much love

Jim, Linda & Natalie Fisher

Crisie was not only our sister in the truth but a great person and friend to many of us. As a young person, I always looked up to Crisie because she set such a great example together with Guido of what young faithful servants of Jehovah should do with their lives. We will deffinately never forget her. She passed away faithfully serving Jehovah until her last day therefore the next time we will see her it will be in a better place. In Paradise....Which will once again put a smile back on all our faces... My prayers, my love, my heart goes out to you Guido Jr., family and friends which are all suffering this great unexpected loss. May Jehovah give the family and friends of Crisie strength to cope with this tragedy.

Truly, our hearts, thoughts, prayers are with you, your family and Crisie's family at this time. We will always remember her as being a person who strived to work hard for Jehovah, and her efforts in serving him will not only be remembered by all who knew her, but, no doubt, by Jehovah himself. We are greatly looking forward to greet her soon in the New Order. Please know that we are ALWAYS here for you. With much love & sympathy, Monica & Peter Leenman

We would like to express our deepest and sincerest sympathy and condolences to the Munoz, Gomez and Marziale families in this time of distress. We know that according to Eccl. 9:11, that "time and unforseen occurrence befall us all", however when it happens to us, we are never ready for it and it is devastating. It is a wake-up call to all of us to always live our lives as if it were our last, just like Crissy did doing all she had up to her last moment. May Jehovah bless your families and continue having faith in Jehovah's promise (which will not fail) of a resurrection and be reunited with Crissy in the near future.

I've been sitting at the computer for quite some time trying to find the right words. There are none. Please just know that I love Crisie and the beautiful memory of her shining example. She helped shape me in ways that she never knew. My heart aches constantly for her family, for the pain of their loss. My heart aches for my loss of a dear friend. I'm glad to be left with the beautiful memory of her wonderful experience and demonstration on the Special Assembly Day, and I look forward to being reunited with her in the future paradise promised by God.

Guido and Family,

Words cannot begin to express how saddened I was to hear of your loss. My husband Orson and I, as well as the entire Whitt family, wish to convey our sincerest condolences. From experience I know that right now the task of getting through this seems almost insurmountable. Keeping busy and holding on to your faith in Jehovah's promise of the resurrection will help you make it through each day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Guido,

Sergio and I just want to express our deepest condolences to you and Crissie's family. We will always remember how you and Crissie had a part in our special wedding day. More importantly, we will always remember Crissie as an exemplary pioneer and a loving sister in our congregation. Again, we are very sorry for your loss, but we know that Jehovah will always remember Crissie, especially at the time of the resurrection when you and her family will be reunited with her.



With Much Christian Love,

Sergio and Aralis Ferreira

Dear Guido,

Our deepest and sincerest condolences to you and your family. Just wanted to say how much both you and Crissie meant to all of us and that is shown in the responses and love shown by the brotherhood. She was a special person, obviously to you, but to all of us who personally knew her. Although my family and I did not get to spend much time with you before you left our congregation, we felt that special feeling and love only special people can give. Crissie was one of these. May Jehovah continue blessing you and all your efforts from now on. Anxiously, we all wait on Jehovah's promise of the resurrection and hope to spend more time with her (eternity) and never have to go through this again.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Munoz, Marzielo, and Gomez family. We had the privilege of knowing Chrissy-an endearing, caring, and giving sister. In times like these it comforts us to know that we can rely on our brothers and sisters for support and, above all, on our God Jehovah. A scripture that has always been close to us, especially in such difficult times, is Psalms 147:3: "He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots." Our prayers continue to be with you.

We will miss crissy and cherish our memories that we had with her always. She was always there for me when I needed her. Crissy was like a mother to me so caring and thoughtful. The love she had for me and my baby i will never forget. But most importanly she helped me relize the truth about Jehovah. She dedicated her life to helping others and i am so grateful to be one of those people she helped. I love her dearly and always will.

Sorry I don't speak English... Soy un hermano de la congregacion Laguna Spanish de miami y lamento mucho la perdida de Cristi... Es bueno saber que ella dedico su vida a ATESORAR TESOROS EN EL CIELO y a tener a Jehova como lo mas importante de su vida. Es un ejemplo para todos nosotros y siempre lo sera. Nunca la podran olvidar, pero algun dia Jehova les ayudara a llevar este dolor y nos ensenara a vivir con esta pena... Que Jehova el Dios todo poderoso los bendiga. Recuerden que en el Nuevo orden todos podremos abrazar a Cristi nuevamente. Mis condolencias y amor Cristiano. Jefte Reyes.

Guido and Munoz family,



You may remember Brother and Sister Sampson from your congregation in the mid ninteies. This is their grand daughter Janelle. My sister has kept in touch with Deidre Dickson and she informed us of your loss. Although we are many miles away, I just wanted to say, please remember the wonderful promise from Jehovah, that you will see Crissy again. It's not goodbye, but see you later. Crissy in her time on this earth has made her family & friends and most importantly, her God...Happy! I know that it is hard, because I had to say "see you later to my grandfather (Brother Sampson). But remember to lean on Jehovah, he will help you heal. My deepest condolences to you in this diificult time.

I knew Guido and Cristina as well as their families when I lived in Miami years ago. I was so shocked when I heard the news. I offer my condolences to the Munoz and Marziale family. May Jehovah bless you all and remember Cristina for resurrection in his new system.

David & Jennifer Espinosa

Our prayers are with the entire family, not only immediate, but all of Jehovah's family who were able to be a part of Crissy's life. She was a very dear sister and wonderful example for all of us. She was truly one of the most zealous persons we had the pleasure of meeting, and can honestly say, left a mark in our lives. We cannot wait to be reunited with her in the new system where we are able to tell her just how many truly cared for her and how much she was missed. May Jehovah give you and your families the strength to get through this trying time and continue to serve him with full hearts as did Crissy.
