To the Watson, Cox and Butzke families,
We are so proud of Christie and the fight she gave to the very end. She is such a strong and powerful woman! I know how proud she was to be your daughter Denise, your sister Misty, your wife PJ, and most of all mother to Braydon, Hunter and LouLou! She cherished her family so much. Christie will be deeply missed by all, and I am so glad she touched my family’s hearts. I will be forever thankful of her friendship.

I have memories
To cherish each day
Of a friend I cared for
But could not stay
To stay on earth
Was not an option
So early one morning she flew away.
Memories of her will last forever
Of a person we loved
And will remember forever.
Christie flew away one day
And she feels no pain as she wakes each day.
She wakes upon a cloud of cotton
And watches us from a place called heaven.
In heaven she watches us all each day,
As life goes on
We think of her each day.
Though we go on and tears still fall
We know Christie’s looking down on us all
With her dark hair flowing & cheeky grin
We know she’s smiling telling us not to give in.
Though the street is lonely,
Without Christie’s bellow
We still hear the sounds of her name as it echo's.
The memories remain of a bubbly person,
Of a girl we remember now parties in heaven,
She parties now from dusk til’ dawn
But still keeps watch to protect us all.
So goodnight sweet Christie,
For a while
And wherever you please help us to smile
You made us smile while here on earth
And we ask you to stay till we leave earth.
One day in the future
We’ll follow your footsteps
Until that day, we ask one thing
Please walk beside us every step of the way.
The Richards Family,
Rhonda, Derek, Sam, and Zak

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven;
A time to be born, a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance; A time to keep and a time to cast away.
This is the Word of the Lord.

The loss of daughter or a son is never easy. The loss one feels at the loss of any loved one is always difficult to handle. My friend grieves and to me that loss is as my own and I grieve sorely for that loss and pray the family knows they are not alone. Now and forever we pray to the LORD our God, be with them now and forever and accept Christie Dawn into Your Loving arms...

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
