To Chrissy's husband, children and family....I am so sorry for your loss. My heart broke when I heard the news of her passing. Our paths crossed only for a short time but I am so glad that I got to meet and take care of her at Presby. Each week, i bonded with her as we shared stories of our children and family. I hope you all know how much she loved you. Her eyes sparkled when she spoke about her family. Her energetic spirit and personality were contagious and she was always a joy to be around. I will miss seeing her and just talking. I hope and pray that your family will find comfort in knowing how many lives that Chrissy has touched. I am better for having known her. I will keep each of you in my prayers and hope that one day your hearts will heal from this great sorrow. Rest in peace my friend. Love, Tara

Chrissy Mendicino- Your Bubbly & Spunky Personalty,Enthusiasm,Always Smiling, That Drive you had that kept you going, So Friendly & your Ability to never stay still even if it was 7:30 am on Monday Mornings...... This is the Chrissy that also danced across the class room to introduce her self to me on my first day at a new elementary school.
Although we went our separate ways growing up, I will never forget that day you made what could of been the Worst day of my childhood school years, so much easier....... just by being you!
You gave me some of the funniest & most memorable moments that I will cherish forever. I'm so sorry we never crossed paths again in our lives to tell you the lasting impression you left on me or to let you know how big of a heart you have.
As I sit & read all of the beautiful thoughts & also those everlasting impressions you left on everyone else who had the honor of meeting you along your Life's Journey, I truly Believe with all the Love, Support & Courage flowing threw you & around you there was no question about the Phenomenal Women, Mother, Wife & Friend you became.

I will never forget you my friend. Finally painless & free.....

For the past 10 years I have had the honor of calling you my friend...we have been through it all together and still you have never ceased to amaze me. Your strength, courage, and determination has inspired so many. You touched the lives of everyone you met no matter how brief the moment was. You taught me so much about life, love and friendship, it has helped me become who I am today. I will cherish all of the memories we shared together. I know you will watch over Timmy and your babies, for you always told me they were your reason to fight. Until we meet again my beautiful friend..or as you would say that's all for now. Love you always.
