I knew Christina in high school. Although not from the same group of friends she would always say hi in the halls, or occasionally find a moment to chat. In the years since I'd see her here and there, and again she would always find a moment. I am saddened to know I will not have a chance to share a moment again.
My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. I know her memory will be a light in the dark for many.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to you Uncle Sylvestor, and Kim at this very sad time in your lives. As a mother, I can't even begin to imagine or fathom what you are feeling right now. Seeing Christina at my house last week, I couldn't stop telling her how gorgeous she was, and of course she just laughed modestly with her great charismatic smile that everyone loves to see. My sincerest condolences also go out to Richard. Christina... the kids and I loved you very much and will always remember you in our hearts for your kind, warmhearted manner. Your outgoing positive attitude and smile always lit up the room. We pray that you find peace in your journey until we meet again.
