My sympathy goes out to Cristina's family, friends, and co-workers at Wake Forest. She and I were in library school together and our work in our respective interlibrary loan departments enabled us to stay in touch. She was a remarkable woman and her loss will be felt by many.

I knew Cristina my freshman year working at the ZSR. She was perhaps the most nicest individual working at the library. Always kind, encouraging, and willing to look for library materials even if it meant checking the materials in the most random places. My deepest sympathies go for Prof. Lee and his family. She will be greatly missed, but I know she is at a better place.

As a parent of daughters adopted from China in the late 90's, I greatly appreciated all Cristina did to establish and support WFU's annual Chinese New Year festival. This has been a wonderful bridge between the Chinese and non-Chinese community, as Cristina herself was. Thank you ...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family Rae-ling. I only knew your dear mother through your funny stories and journals of your great trips. I know how you talked about her and honored her always. I know she was super proud of you and Rae-yao. Her spirit and heart will live through you forever. Lots of love to you Rae-ling. I'm here for you girl.

My deepest sympathies Wei-Chin to you and your daughters for the tragic loss of such a wonderful woman. I have such fond memories of her at the Chinese festival with my (then) young children in 2000 and years after, as well as at the ILL office where she always willingly helped me find some obscure medical articles from the 19th century. In all capacities, she was always smiling and energetic, a truly remarkable woman. Wake will not be the same without her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for all of you. Cristina was such a warm and kind spirit. Always smiling and laughing and cheering us on at Tae Kwon Do. And this same spirit now resides in her beautiful daughters and her husband. Cristina will never be forgotten. May you find comfort in the arms of our Lord during this difficult time.
