After attending the Celebration of Christina's Life, it is very obvious that although Christina has left this world, this life that were all remain living without her, that she lives on in all of our hearts and minds forever. My fond, loving memory will never loose her. Thank you to the family for having me.

Christina was a a sweet (as much as she tried to hide it), wonderful, and loyal person. She was real, and she was honest. She was one of my favorites. I am personally devastated to learn of her death.

God promises to fulfill all the days he has promised us when we are born. Rather than morn our loss of the beautiful woman, Christina, I will celebrate and cherish my memories of our time together. Christina was my right and left hand at work and my dear friend for life. Its difficult for me to process the sudden stop of her life, her laughter, her friendship. Christina was a source of love, kindness and caring for all who she encountered. Rest in Peace now Christina, sit with our lord in peace. My heart is hurting and rejoicing, until the number of my days brings us together again. Your loving grace in my life I will carry until then.

All my love to Momma Kay and Larry! Christina was the life of the party and typically of the party she planned. In my 12 years of knowing C, I can only think of a few times we were able to surprise her without her figuring it out. I am ever in debuted to her for introducing me to my husband of 10 years that brought 2 beautiful boys into this world - I will never be able to repay her for that. ! She was like a sister to me and in typical sister fashion we didn’t always see eye to eye. I will never forget the many journeys we traveled together - workouts, my pregnancies, her crohns, driving miss daisy when she couldn’t, royals games, planning parties, and making sure everyone knew we were a force to be reckoned with! This is still so surreal! Fly high sister and I will see you again some day!

Christina was a wonderful person, she made me feel welcomed from the first day I came to Gallagher. She never fully realized how amazing she was and how much she was loved by all who knew her. Rest in peace my dear friend. Momma Lisa
