Y’all made such a great memory in Krysta’s name by teaching others of the dangers of drinking and driving. I’m sure she’s proud of you for helping others and she’s always with you cheering you on.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am a friend of Rose in West Columbia.Christa was an angel on earth. May God bless you and your family. Rhonda Livingston and family.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know Christa, but know Danielle through my son, Stephen. I do not know the pain you are going through, but know that I am praying for your family every day.

Dearest Mark, Terri, Krista, DeeDee, and Eric, wow, there just aren't any words to describe the heartache we all have. I cannot imagine the hurt, pain and anger you must be feeling right now. Just know that the hell on this earth that is sometimes not easy is not weighing down on her anymore. I loved Kysta so much and when family leaves us, it's hard to imagine moving on. But we have to. Please try to remain strong for eachother. I love you all dearly brother. Keep the faith.
Let the tears roll and the memories be vivid. I promise you all she will visit you in your dreams. we love you, Bobby, Rose and Ashley and Taylor

Christa touch the hearts of everyone she met, now she will continue to touch lives as an Angel watching over us. My fondest memory of her is one that I wasn't even there for. I only remember by seeing the pictures of her at the station, doing what she loved to do, help people. She was a huge inspiration to me during my recovery, and will continue to be an inspiration to myself and many more. 

We will miss her deeply, but her memory will live on through us.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope your memories with Krysta will help you get thru this difficult time. My prayers are with your family.

We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter and sister. My sons went to Cy-Springs and knew Eric and Christa. Please accept our deepest condolences. May the Lord give you comfort during this difficult time.

It will be the little things that you will remember,
the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem hard right now,
it will be the memories of these little things that help
to push away the pain and
bring the smiles back again.

A memory is a Keepsake of time That lives in Your heart forever.

I also grieve with you as I lost my 22 year old son on January 7 2010.  May we  find a way to reach up to our Father to have him lay his healing hands on us to know that there is yet another angel among us.

MARK, I AM THE DAUGHTER OF AURORA ANGELA RAMIREZ-GARZA, GRANDDAUGHTER OF UR TIA LUPITA RAMIREZ.  OUR CONDOLENCES TO U AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY.  THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH U.

Mark, I remember you from our childhood. I just returned to Houston after a 30 year hiatus, and saw the news on TV. I am so sorry for you and your family. I can only imagine your grief over Krysta. Knowing you, I'm sure she had a great spirit about her.

Peace be with you Brother, and your family, and remember nothing in all creation can keep us from God.

So very sorry to hear about your loss.  I can only pray that you will find the strength and  peace to overcome this horrible and tragic event.  We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.  Jim Byrne and family,

May God lift you during this time of grief.  Christa was a beautiful young woman and will be missed.

I so wanted to go to the funeral to honor Christa and her family.  I just could not do it.  I drove by the make-shift memorial at West Rd and put a card there. I broke down right there and a couple of cars stopped and asked me if I was ok.  How can you be OK when someone as sweet and beautiful as Christa is taken from her family and friends. My son worked with Christa at Willies Icehouse and he just hung his head last night when we were talking about what had happened. MADD hit me hard last night. Christa is truly an angel watching over us all now. God bless you again. I pray that God will lay his loving hands on each of her family members and friends and give them comfort in some way right now.

My daughter Kelsey went to school with your son. I remember eating out at Chili's one night and your sweet daughter waited on us. She was kind and helpful and her smile was contagious. We are so saddened to hear of this tragedy and our heart goes out to your family. Please know that our hearts and deepest prayers go out to the Rodriguez family.  Our very best, Brian and Lil Harris

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter Christa.  We also lost our daughter Meghann Smith to a drunk driver and have started the DWI Tracker to help keep the roadways a safer place.  Our prayers are to expand.  Please visit our web site dwitracker.com.  May God give you the strength to get through each day...Margaret Smith Montgomery Tx.

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.  May god give you strenght to go through this hard time.  
Love Jessica Reyna

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort and strength. Love to you all.

Can't stop shaking my head in disbelief
Seeing so many stricken with grief
Thinking of you taking your last breath
And knowing the end was only in death
The memory of you will only live on
Your smile and spirit will be passed along
Watch over us Angel for we know you will 
And God's gentle hands will guide you still

My deepest sympathy and love to the Rodriguez Family..

A few days ago I was on FM529 @ Queenston at the red light. I looked to my right and saw this beautiful yellow car and a sweet young woman. When I heard about the accident Christa was in and saw the car on the News I instantly knew it was Christa. My son, Matthew told me tonight that he worked with Christa at Willies Icehouse.  Then, I too, remembered Christa at Willies. I realized that Christa and her sister were so close too and her parents. Please accept my sons and my deepest condolences. I will always remember the day I saw her next to my car at that light. God bless you all. Please try to stay strong thru this ordeal and grwat loss.

Dear Rodriquez family,

My deepest condolences to you all. I pray at the time for each of you to get through this hard time. I will cherish Christas best memories. She was one of my first friends when I moved to the States and she was so nice and friendly with me unlike other kids in school and I really appreciated that. I always thought she was so beautiful and had a gorgeous smile and I will always remember that about her. Thank you Christa for giving such a good friendship while I got to know you.And thank you Rodriquez family for sharing such an Angel with the entire world.

To the Rodriguez Family:
I am shocked and saddened by your loss. Christa was a beautiful, vibrant, and charming girl. I was her (and Eric's) counselor at Cy Springs and remember well what a treasure Christa was. My sincere thoughts that God bless and keep you at this time.

Mark, Terri and family,
 We were very sorry to hear of the loss of Krysta.  It was such a shock.
 Krysta was a shining example of what Beautiful, funny, normal, smart young Adults are..
 Whenever we saw her whether it was a baseball game at West Oaks or an event at the Safin's she was always giggling. 
 Krysta beamed with pride, when she told us "her Dad" made the Gazebo at Petrosky.
 Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

  Bob & Jane Stagnitta and family

May God Bless you, Michele, James, Cameron, Brandon, Jordon and Austin Gutierrez

Mark, Terri and family, My deepest condolences to you and your family.  I remember Krysta when Mark and I were members of Community Volunteer Fire Department.  She would come to the station and the smile on her face always brightened up the station. Mark, we have another angel in heaven to watch over us.  May you find comfort through each other in this time of sorrow.

I can only imagine the pain and grief you all must be enduring. As the mother of a brother firefighter at Cy-Fair, my deepest and most sincere sympathies are with you all during this difficult time.

To all of Krysta's family. I am so very sorry for your profound loss. I was not fortunate enough to have known Krysta, but I can tell from her smile that she was an amazing and beautiful young woman who was deeply loved by all branches of her family.

I never had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful daughter but my sons knew her and I have been told she was a very sweet person.

The human mind forbids our understanding of God's purpose, but it is not necessary to understand. It is only necessary to believe that when one as beautiful as she is taken from us to be with Him, it is for a purpose more glorious than we shall know, until our day..

May your family find comfort in the belief that she resides with God in his glorious Kingdom and the memories you have of her shall reside in your hearts forever.

I can't even begin to describe how I feel.. hurt, angry, sad. You were one of my best friends and as our parents would call us "other halfs" I can still remember the old days when we would 'go cart' in the albright field, or when our families would have crawfish boils, when our dads would play the drums together and we would call the Hootie and the Blowfish song "Let Her Cry" our family song. You meant so much to me and I still have this hope that I will see you this week like we planned. I know God does things for a reason and you are in a better place but i miss you soo much. You were a beautiful, funny, outgoing, AMAZING person and no one will ever forget that and I NEVER WILL. I have a heart on my charm bracelet with "MY OTHER HALF" engraved on it and you will always be with me in my heart. 
Mark, Terri, Dee Dee and Eric yall mean alot to me and my family and through this hard time i hope you will always know i am here for you night or day.. sun or shine.. anytime. You ARE family to me and I LOVE YALL so very much and you will always and forever be in my prayers! <3 XoXo

wow i remember hanging out with her and it shocked me when i saw that she passed away what happen ? Krysta u will always be in my heart and my prayers go out to Rodriguez Family i will be at the funeral

Krysta will be missed so much, but she lives on forever in our memories.  We'll never forget her beautiful smile or her amazing sense of humor.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rodriguez family during this difficult time.

Curtis, Heather & Carson Cooper

My condolences to the Family Rodriguez. Sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter Christa. God Bless you and for GOD to give you the strenght that you need during this rough time and days to come. GOD BLESS YOU.

Adam~. I'm so sorry for your loss!  I never was given the opportunity to meet Krysta but through you, I am able to see how close you two were and how much she is going to be missed!  I know you really loved her!  I wish there was a way for me to bring her back for you but I know you'll see her again someday and I'm positive she's looking over you and smiling!  You have such a big heart and I have her to thank for letting me see that!  Just remember, "Things will get better in the end, if it's not better, it's not the end!". God had something great planned for Krysta!  There's a reason for everything even though we may not always understand why!  Someday it will all make sense but until then we have to support eachother to get through this and hold on to the good memories!  I'm always here!  <3

To the Rodriguez Family, May God give you strength through this time of sorrow. We pray for your comfort. May God Bless your precious Daughter.

Mark and Terri, Though we haven't seen each other over the years, I have thought about you often.  Words cannot describe the sorrow I am feeling for your family at this time. My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult journey ahead.

There are no words in any language to express the sorrow for the loss of your Christa. She is a beautiful young lady. I know exactly what you are feeling as I lost my daughter Jennifer Alexander 2 years ago and she is also from Cypress and attended Cy-Fair High School. Jennifer was also 22 when she earned her angel wings. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and feel free to contact me should you want to talk. God Bless You!

Words seem of little comfort, but that's all we have. Please know that Bonnie and I are grieving with your family and you have our sincere condolences.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow and in the days ahead.  

God bless your family,

Mark, Terri, Dannielle, Krista and Eric....  I am so sorry for your great loss.  Krysta was such an angel with a smile that is so warm and friendly.  She touched so many people and now she will watch over everyone.  A child that was never unhappy; that was carefree and so giving.  My prayers are with you that you will find peace and know she will always be with you. May God bless you all

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I met Christa thru my son Zach Z. My daughter Melissa and I often had meals at restaurants where she worked and always asked for her section. She was a joy to be around and will be greatly missed. May the Love of our Savior comfort you and give you strength from this day forward.
