To my friend Christina, and my little sweetie-pies, Hunter & Logan, Over the years, one cant help but to change. "The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action."--John Dewey Incidentally, the power of persuasion and manipulation disguised "LOVE" (Rose Colored Glasses), often subvert and hinder the choices and actions, which at one time, were those of inner strength, goals and self-worth..."He" stripped these of you. We were always there for you, we loved you unconditionally. We loved the boys unconditionally, and continually offered our love and support, even when you got angry with us and failed to see it and accept it for what it really was. You were never alone. You had great, loving, wonderful "TRUE"

"True" friends, in which "HE" maliciously convinced you otherwise. Many who read this may be confused as to the content. Many know the truth in which I speak. I loved Christina and her boys. I always will. Contrary to what "HE" told you, we ALL loved you. "HE" knows who "HE" is, and all that "HE`s" done. KARMA... God bless you Christina in your passage. May God surround you in WHITE LIGHT AND LOVE. I pray the same for you. Rebecca

To the Hall Family: I started thinking that not too many have said to you, sorry about your loss. I know that Christina had distanced herself from you but I know that you are feeling a great loss as well. May I say she was an amazing mom and friend. Her love for Hunter and Logan was beyond what you could even imagine. That is why this is so hard for us to understand. If you would like to know more of these stories please email me. I would be so happy to share them with you. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Susy Balaz

I wanted to write and express my condolences to her famiy and share one of my fondest memories of Christina. One cold winter evening we left The Venetian together and I was telling her of my ever so great fear of the dark! She had parked in the casino garage and I had to walk down the dark ally to Casino Royal! She offered a ride to my car and I graciously accepted. I would not have to worry about the dark and I would get home even more quickly! We got to the garage and she parked right next to my car. We must have talked for two hours laughing and gossiping. I ended up getting home @ 6:30a...We left at 4a. (Far from getting home more quickly!) I am so very happy I took her up on the offer! I`ll never forget her smile or her trademark starbucks cups she filled with ice to chew on her was home. Heaven surely increased it`s wealth when Christina walked through the gates.

Tina im sitting home right now and i am having a hard time getting over this. Your beautiful boys are in the other room having a sleep over here with my daughter. They are so sweet and it makes me want to cry when i see how much they care about eachother. You will never really know how much the wet and wild, skating ring, and bowling trips meant to brady and i. We loved your laugh of course, your taste in music, and you had no problem feeding my brother and i tons of junk food. I love you Tina and i really miss you. I wish i could have got in touch with you. I promise you this, i will do everything i can too be a huge part in the boys life they already told me they love sports they will be huge studs. I am going to spike their little hair tomorrow, and we are going too listen too loud music on the way too the park. I will tell them about you when they get older and i think i can paint a great picture of how i felt about you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you are sober now, full of energy, and full of starbucks in heaven, i love you sis rest in peace. Love Brandon.

I dedicate the song "I`ll be missing you" by p.daddy and Faith Evans.I encourage everyone to listen to it. Dear Christina, her family, and true friends: A memorial book is to leave a message for her and her family to help them through such a tragedy. That is why I was SHOCKED to read the message from Mrs. Stivason.But,you did try to take her children.Christina was a wonderful mother, who loved her boys, she didn`t take vacations without them, and "HE" loved her children as well. Those who throw stones, live in glass houses.No one is perfect.You can`t help who you love.SHE was a faithful person, i`m sorry you don`t have any of those things in your life or yourself. Don`t pass judgement or think you "knew" Christina.You could not have helped her,unless you have the cure for cancer.You do not know what she had been going through for so long, but her true friends know.I only pray that all your faults or enemies don`t show up, when you leave this world, and write about your private life, private affairs, and other assumptions, because those you leave behind will have to deal with that.I wouldn`t wish that upon anyone, and I will pray for you, because only the cruelest of a person would stoop that low.Please leave this memorial book for those who love her and truly care. On behalf of many Venetian employees

This message is for Brandon, Every time I read your message, my heart breaks and I cry every time. I want you to know how much she spoke of you and Brady. You two were heroes in her life, her angels..She loved you two (her entire family). She always hoped the boys would grow up just like you.She would get so excited when she knew she was going to see you, and be able to spend time with you.She always expressed how much she loved you,and how she wished she could spend more time with you.You and I met at her big wedding to Bruce, she and I made you dance with my little sister.She always bragged about having the most beautiful brothers and sister anyone could have.She loved you unconditionally, and with all of her heart, and was very, very, proud of you and your brother.At times it seemed like you were her children, because of the love and the need to protect you like a mother would.She told me about all the wondeful and funny memories she had with you boys, so rest assured she took those memories with her.I only pray that this makes you feel a little better during this difficult time, because she bragged about having the most amazing brothers.And now that I have had the opportunity to speak with a family member, I am so happy that she was so loved.Not only did you protect her, but she protected all of you. I know that now, amongst many things. God Bless you and your family. Feel free to contact me at anytime, Bridg knows how. Lots of love, Angi Pyne

I need to address some of the my last entry. In light of new information, I feel I should apologize for some of the things I criticized Rebecca about. However I felt some of the things were not appropriate for a memorial message,her message bared some truth. I still believe that message should have been sent to Joe in another manner. And most people feel that Joe sent that message, but, it was not him.He has yet to sign her memorial,and that alone says so much

You were always so warm and welcoming of Brandon and I into your home, and I will never forget your giggly laugh and hip hop of the shoulders! :) Thank you for the furry leapord swaeter you gave me, I wore it a few times, but nearly sent Brandon to the hospital wearing it (because of his asthma), so had to give it away! I remember your swollen ankles right before you had the boys, and the tears that fell from your eyes the first time you left them to go to a family dinner! I always wishe you and Bridget would throw my bachlorette party, but I know Bridget will do just fine and you will be in our thoughts! Brandon always talks of you, and every time we hear Alanis Moristte, we think of you. (By the way, thanks, thats the only girl music her lets me play :) We love the boys so much and Brandon already taught them to say "Hot chicks and Football" We will forever be a part of their life. It was a difficult descion in taking the boys, but we know that u are watching over them and what is meant to be you have blessed! We are thinking of taking them to the beach in Cali. for their first time here soon to play with their cousins, we will look out for a ray of sun shining down on the sea, hoping its you! God Bless your soul and you will forever be missed!

Dear Christina, "Unable are the beloved to die for their souls are immortal." Although you are no longer here with us today, the memories we have with you can never be taken away. Your spirit shines through the remembrance of conversations with you. You always spoke with such enthusiasm and grace. I wish I would hav once told you how much I admired your strength and courage. Your sympathy and candor. Your advice and example. You were not only one of the hardest workers I ever met, but more important, you were one of the most selfless and genunine women I`ve ever been blessed to know. Your love for your boys was evident in both the stories you shared with us from home and your tireless effort to provide for them while you were at work. Fortunate your sons were to have such an amazingly loving mother like you. You were always so giving. I pray to God that your sons grow to always know that their mother was a beautiful woman who loved her sons more than life itself. I hope they also find comfort when they are scared or alone and know that their mother is an angel who is guiding and protecting them from above. Thank you for sharing so many of your own life`s experiences and "big sister" wisdom with me as we chatted at lunch together on our "Fridays." I wish I could tell you that the memory of our talks bring both tears and smiles to my face. Please know that my heart was forever touched by yours.

My condolances for all who grieves Cristina`s death. It is in deed painful when you lose someone you love. Cristina indeed was a tuffy. She is a very hardworking, smart,lovingperson.But mostly a very very good mother. Nomatter what kind of pain she went through she never left the boys to feel what she was going through. She was always eager to teach them stuff and guide them right. Last time i remeber she was getting the boys to go potty by themself. She was a wonderful mother. I hope Hunter and Logan will always know how much your mom loved you two. She wanted the best for both of you. Your mom always wanted two of you to love each other and take care of each other. I know and believe you guys are in loving arms of family. That gives us more joy that you can ever imagine. Take care boys. Drop in when ever you can, to have the cocunut rice that mummy and you guys love.We miss you both. Love Ms Sue.

"God saw you getting tired and a clue was not be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". With careful eyes he watched you, we saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest....God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best".

Tina, I am so sorry it took me this long to write to you, it has just come to my attention that this memorial exists. I would like to thank everybody for the kind words they have put on here thus far. I miss you so much Tina. Losing you came as such a sad and difficult shock. When Brandon and I were younger we would spend the summers with my dad. During this time we missed mom very much. You were always like a mother to Brandon and I, you would plan so many fun things for us so we would not have time to be sad. You always made the best of things Tina,that is so refresing. I love you so much, I will never forget the impact you had on my life. I cannot wait to walk with you again. I will always try to watch over Hunter and Logan and make sure they grow up to be men you would have made them. Please be at peace and relax now. No more pain - Brady Hall

At 3 months after the fact I just found out that Christina has passed away. I don`t even know if anyone will read this at this point but I felt compelled to write anyway. I didn`t know Christina very long-we got to know each other through our unfortunate association with Bruce, whom I also found out on the same day had died. Thanksgiving two years ago, Christina and I spent the day together at her home. She cooked a great meal and we got to know each other as friends. I truly liked her-but I felt a person in utter turmoil. I don`t know how her life came to end but it saddens me that someone with so much to offer the world couldn`t see it that way. She adored her boys and they adored her. My first husband who was a very special person took his own life-it never ceases to amaze me how the truly gifted never see the incredibly wonderful impact they have on others. To her family and friends I offer my condolences. I feel a heavy heart today although nothing compared to what those closest to her feel I know. My God heal your heart and may you find the strength to honor her memory and to help her boys overcome this trauma. She loved them so.

Whatever happened in your life...may you rest in peace. Whatever pain...may you rest in peace. I think of you so very often-and even though my life is full-I miss you. God, give us the power to learn from, appreciate, and love all that Christina gave us. I can never forget, but need to say good-night my Friend.

Wow, I am sorry it took me so long to find this. I am a frequest visitor to Las Vegas from NYC and always stay at the Venetian. I must tell you that Christina was the nicest person I have ever met in Vegas. (I always play Roulette and she was always working my table area.) Sweet, what a smile, always showing me pictures of the twins. I was blown away when I asked about her and was told. We need more nice people like her. God Bless. Frank
