We were shocked and deeply saddened to read about Christy's passing. We remember her as a quiet, gentle soul. From everything we heard she was a wonderful mother to Dustin.

We want to express our sincere condolences. May your memories help sustain you all in the days, months and years ahead.

Much love,
Rick and Shirley
