My sincere condolences to Christy's family for your great loss. I first met her in the fifth grade and graduated from Stanton with her. I went to my first dance in the 7th grade with her and the Senior Prom. She was lovely, kind, smart, and liked to laugh. A virtuous person. The best of the best. May God comfort you in your time of grief.

I was in Christina's class at Stanton High School and graduated with her in 1967. She was very smart ,kind and considerate of others and loved her family. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She was always positive and loved life in general. The world is a better place as a result of Christina. As some one else has said heaven has gained another Angel. My condonences to the entire family.

IF EARTH COULD BE BLESSED WITH MORE PEOPLE LIKE CHRIS, WE WOULDN'T NEED A PLACE CALLED HEAVEN. SADLY MISSED BY YOUR FRIEND RALPH
