Christa this is the most unfair thing I have ever happened during my life. I dont see why you were taken from us at such a young age. You always had a smile and just like a presence that radiated off of you and everyone who you touched in your short life knew that you were special. When I first heard about your leaving us it was like the same day you told me you were sick, I refused to believe it. I'm still waiting for a phone call or email or something telling me that none of this is real, but as the days pass the reality is slowly starting to sink in that I'm never going to see you again. Thursday night I was going to send you a text message to see how you were doing but at the last minute I decided not to bother you, and that was the biggest mistake of my life. Being able to call myself your friend is the greatest accomplishment that I have done in my life. I really hope that you knew the impact that you had on my life and everyone else's life that you touched.You were too young and I'mgoing to miss you for everyday for the rest of my life. You were so much more than a friend and a teamate Christa; you're my hero.
