Aunt Christy was my mom's (Pat) baby sister who was more like a big sister to me. She was one of the sweetest, fun, and loving woman I have ever known. She loved to have a great time and her laugh was contagious!! She loved her family and dachshunds immensely!! The world was a better place with her in it, I'm so blessed she was my Auntwe will all miss you so much.

Tia Christina was always so loving and kind. When I dropped out of HS, she called me and offered to take me in and put me through school. That´s how generous and loving she was. I will always remember her that way. She will be extremely missed.
