With great sorrow I have to relay the message that Christy has left us. At 5:30pm 12/27/2008, Christy passed quietly and peacefully with Allan and her mother in law holding her hand. She was surrounded by love before, during and after her long, arduous journey.

Her strength and courage the past few months have been an inspiration to the thousands of people whose lives she has touched. Her positive, shining radiance made a difference to thousands of us.

Christy's smile, her laugh, and her positive outlook will never be forgotten. Like most people we hold most precious, she came into our lives touching us with joy and then had to leave us much too soon.

Godspeed Christy.
