Born on December 24, 1993, a day celebrated by many as the birth of Jesus Christ, Cristina brought light, compassion, and love into the lives of those blessed to know her. Though her time on earth was far too short, the impact she made will live on forever in the hearts of her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
Cristina was more than a daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend. She was the heart of the family and a source of unconditional love and comfort. She possessed a beautiful and gentle soul, always willing to help others and offer kindness without hesitation. Her heart was incredibly immense, especially when it came to helping and rescuing abused and neglected dogs. Her compassion for animals reflected the same love and tenderness she showed to people throughout her life.
She is survived by her loving mom, Ana Barraza, her beloved father, Salvador Barraza; her siblings Salvador Miguel Barraza, Cristian Barraza, Matthew Barraza, and Alessandra Barraza; her paternal grandmother, Maria Barraza; her uncles and aunts Miguel Tellez (Diana), Alfredo Tellez (Karla), Victor Tellez (Eulalio), Jose Tellez (Amy), Joe Barraza, Maria del Socorro Marris, Cleo Andrade (Sergio), Claudia Arevalo, and Lizbeth Ortiz.
