Cristina left us far too soon for someone with so much love still to give. It's hard to put into words how much we miss her and how much we love her. She had a way of making things feel okay even when they weren't and a way of making you feel loved no matter what. We will miss the little things, the sound of her voice when she answered the phone, the way she always knew when something was wrong even if no words were spoken, and the way she offered advice without us even knowing it. It's hard to imagine life without her. But we take comfort in knowing that she lives on in her family, in everyone she touched, in the stories we tell and in the love that doesn’t end just because she’s gone.
