Sending my deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Pete and family. She was a special woman who was not afraid to speak her mind and she said what came from her heart. I am so happy that she accepted me and that our friendship grew over the years. I loved her like a mom. She will be missed by many and I will keep her spirit close to my heart. Christa, May you fly with the angels without any more pain. To the family, cry with happy tears because she loved all of you so much. You were blessed to call her family. Love you all. Erika

We pray that your memories of your life together, will become your blessings. Godspeed, Christa. Soar high, my friend.
