Christy loved her family and enjoyed cooking meals, going to the “cottage” at Smith Mountain Lake, riding the Jet Ski, boat and golf cart. She shared a very close bond with Steve and Casey they almost always did things together as a family It’s been so hard watching her suffering and in pain but she is at peace now rejoicing with the Angels, reunited with her parents, Steve’s mom and dad and all those who have gone on before her.

We will never forget you and we love you all! Special thanks to all the staff at Lynchburg General Hospital for taking care of Christy for the 100 plus days she was hospitalized and to Amedisys Hospice and their team and for the tender, loving care provided from Nurse Missy, CNA Amber and too many others to mention but we thank them all for the special care and support they gave during our time of need.

Death leaves a heartache that no one but God can heal. Love never dies. We will carry you in our hearts and we will see you in our dreams. Our memories will last forever.
