i've been contemplating for a while now of what exactly to write on here. i knew i would do this at some point, but it's hard to find words that haven't been used a billion times to talk about christa. christa was one of the most amazingly strong people i had ever met in my whole life. i remember when my uncle was first diagnosed with lung cancer. she saw me the day after i found out, and somehow just knew something wasn't right. i felt sort of guilty telling her for some reason, but she helped me through all of that and gave me and my family the hope we needed to get through without being so scared all the time. christa was truly and amazing person who was entirely selfless. it always amazed me how caring and nice she was to everyone, no matter how rude or snotty that person was. she could never stoop to their level. christa always kept me, and everyone else, laughing and smiling. she always volenteered to host the pasta parties and other parties, and those are some of my best memories with her. she was my double date partner for a while, a year ago. i remember all of the.. interesting times we had with that, haha. but surprisingly now, those are some of the things i'm going to miss the most. i can't think of a better person to do that with.

i guess i could wrap this up. well, christa was an amazing person and an inspiration to everyone around, i know that is repetitive but it was really the most important thing for me to say.

love you girl. rest in peace.
