For her parents, the devastation is unimaginable. For them, there is an unconsolable feeling of loss and despair. My heart goes out to them. I pray that God bless them with peace and help them to create a new balance in their lives. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and a part of Christa's.
For me, the feeling in indescribable. While Christa wasn't my relative (per se), she was an integral part of my life for the past 6 months. She was my angel. This angel was like a sister to me. I am not sure how my life would be now without her presence. She, in her 7 year old wisdom, has helped me to see the beauty in life; the wonderful things and people in my own life. It was at her insistence that I have given chemotherapy another try. Her courage and strength were contagious and has been one of the leading forces in my own personal recovery, both from cancer and from other obstacles life has thrown in my direction.
While she will be truly missed, her spirit will live on forever. The lessons I have learned from her will guide me forever. And, one day, I will join her in heaven to pick up where we left off...and to taste one of her "especially homemade" peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
See you then, Christa. ;-)

First, please accept my deepest condolences. I know she meant alot to you. There is a special place in heaven for her, and one for you too.
I know your favorite song is "Amazing Grace" and so, because I can't sing it to you, I am writing it out for you.
Amazing Grace,how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace,how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see.
Thank you, Jason. That is one of my favorite songs! How did you remember that?
Christa had a major impact on my life and meant more than a lot to me. She won't be forgotten.
