We all got together as a family to remember Christy and what she meant to all of us. We planted a tree in the front yard of Mark and Cindy's (Christy's parents) home in loving memory of her. The tree will have beautiful pink blossoms as it grows. Christy LOVED PINK!
Christy also LOVED STARS!! As you can see her beautiful headstone has a wonderful star border that is the exact replica of a tattoo Christy had around her wrist. Whenever you ask Kristian who is in the stars, he is quick to answer "Christy", as we have also taught him "Grandpa Hal" who has also passed. Christy's friends have been great to bring things that remind them of Christy. Some brought little toy "Sleeping Beauty" dolls. Christy loved her princess' and her favorite was "Sleeping Beauty" which is why it is also mention on her headstone.
Later that night we had a huge party and invited all of Christy's friends. Christy was always the life of the party and had more friends than I think she even realized. It was great to see how many came to support the family and spend time together. Here are some very loyal friends who have gotten tattoo's in memory of their dear friend.
All in all it was a great day spent with friends and family! It has been a hard year for everyone, especially Mark and Cindy who had the heartache of losing a child. Our prayers are constantly with them, and the family. We love Christy so much! We miss her daily, but we know that we will be with her forever again someday!
