I am so sorry to know of your loss. Christy was a courageous young woman. She had the ability to smile so easily, and the ability to make others laugh so heartily. She had a tenacity of spirit that I will remember and admire for years to come. Debbie Wright

Mona and Michael,



Christy was always springtime for me and a joy to my life. Her discernment, wisdom and humor combined into "wisecracks" that were truly strokes of genius that laid bare all pretentiousness. Thank you all for sharing my life.

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.

Kenneth and I watched Christie grow up into a lovely young lady. She and our daughter Crystal were best friends so she was at our house a lot as they grew up. We loved her very much and thought of her as a daughter.
