A New Story

Thanks go to Sarah Darner for sending in this story and pictures.

I'm so upset and shocked about Christina being gone. She was one of my very best friends. I love her and miss her so much. I have so many amazing memories of us. She was one of the greatest people I've ever met. I will always think of her and pray for her but mostly I will look back and smile and laugh. When I remember her, I think of all the fun we had and I think that's perfect.

We went to college together in Kansas our first semester. We didn't know anyone else and honestly, we hated it. But we had so much fun! and I know that without her, I would have been miserable.

My condolences go out to her family. I'm sure this is incredibly difficult for them.
