My heart is so heavy to hear of the loss of your dear Christina, who was my former student. I remember her bright, sweet personality and cute little laugh. I did see her a few years ago and she made sure to come up and tell me hello. May God wrap his arms around you all at this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.
Barry, Mary, and Danica. We are so sorry to hear about Christina. She was a wonderful mom and so good to our grandchildren at the restaurant. Jayden ordered cheese balls with extra cheese and she always remembered he wanted them like that. She just went the extra mile with kids and was always so pleasant to us. Hugs and prayers to your whole family.
So sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers
So sorry for your loss…. Kristine, Jace and I are all thinking about you all.
The news of Christinas death just came to my attention.
I can't tell you how much of a shock this was to all of us. I am the grandmother to Lilly and Olivia Schultz.
She had been a great, kind and loving companion to my granddaughters, Lilly and Olivia. Our relationship was stable and she was always keeping me up to speed on what was going on with the girls. I seriously had no sleepless nights knowing that Christina was in their lives. Even the girls mother felt secure knowing she was there for them when she couldn't be.
It makes us so sad to know that she can't be there for her own child – knowing what a great mom she was and could have been.
Our hearts go out to your family and we're sorry that this took so long to reach you.
