Dear El-Masry family,
Christy was a special lady - a lady of strength in many ways. May you be comforted by the memories of her long and productive life. In her later years she benefitted from the unwaivering support of her loving children. At peace now, in eternal rest with Dr. Moe and Tracey by her side.
love,
spencer
