I'll admit, I've sortof been putting this off until I can find the words. However it's been a few days, and the words aren't coming. I'm not sure they'll ever come, really.

I'd like for this to be a thread for everyone to come together and remember Christina, share stories about her, and talk over the good times.

For now all I can say is I will always remember my dear friend but I still cant beleave this happened to her.She went through so much in her life I care so much for her and I miss her.

Christina:

I'm going to miss you everyday for the rest of my life even though we never actually met in person. You became family to me several years ago and you are still family to me. You are my sister. Wherever you are in the clouds or in time, we are brother and sister, and I love you dearly.

Lilac was in chat tonight and was still in tears about not having you to talk too or to laugh with or surf the internet together or go playing Warcraft with. We tried to cheer her up as best we could, but you Christina were Lilac's best medicine. You made her laugh, you cheered her up, you gave her your love and friendship.

You gave all of us your friendship and we gave you ours. In a way, you are still alive. Alive inside my mind and heart. Whenever I hear your name, whenever I feel the tears in Lilac's eyes, whenever anyone in chat asks about you, I feel your presence. You were there for me, the other chat room moderators and everybody who came to chat with us. You were on the line every night offering your advice, experience, personal hardships, friendship and always you reached out to those that needed your advice.

Your humor was great too and you told jokes that were funnier than mine and even more corny than mine. In the chat moderators room, you told a dozen puns in a row till I almost fell off my chair laughing. You had a way to make us all comfortable by just being there for us.

I know you had Lilac till the end but I wish we all had known the end was so close because more of us would have been there, at least to say goodbye.

On my signoff from the chatroom, it says, "Goodnight Christina." I pray you are happy wherever you are now. I hope you miss all of us as much we all miss you. You have left an indelible mark on our hearts, souls and minds.

I can honestly say, "Christina, you will be missed but remembered, unseen but loved and unheard from but thought of every night."

I wish I was there to hold your hand, and I will see you someday.

Goodnight sweet sister. All my love to you.

I had no knowledge of her passing untill reading this just now. So sudden it's hard to believe, just like with Bboy, a shock to the senses. I will miss her, she was such a fun person in chat, and could always make me laugh. Truly saddened she is gone, a true LADY and there just aren't many of those anymore.

This is a very difficult post for me to write. I spent but a very short time with Christina (at one of the East Coast MoMs), but she was important to me as a kind, caring, intelligent, and loving person. She seemed always to have time to respond to those in need on the Archive. Her posts were filled with her concern for the welfare of others. Several times I enlisted her help and advice for someone in need.

In person, Christina was even more wonderful that she was over the Internet. She had a delightful sense of humor and was one of the most huggable women I have ever known. She lit up the room by her very presence. I will always remember the joy that was bouncing around the motel room that Christina and Lilac shared at the MoM. Bobbie, Luvpain, OBB, and others there, sharing in the electric atmosphere….

The world is a sadder place without Christina. She will be greatly missed.

I didn’t really know Christina except from her post she had been a lot of help to me

She was a good person and had a genuine concern for others well being I will miss her

may she rest in peace

Christina has died! When?

I am at a loss for words, we have lost a dear friend. I will miss her wit her come backs, her advice, she was very special. I have known Christina sense she came into the Archive, we became fast friends but Christina was everybody's friend, she had a way of making you feel special. When I left as head of the chat I knew I had left the chat room in good hands.

This is just to hard to try and say what I am feeling, maybe I will be able to add more later.

Goodbye sweet lady,

I simply don't know what to write. If I could just express in a few words how much Christina made being in the archive special I would do that but I can't. I would also say how much I miss her, but I can't express that either. I want to write more but there just isn't anything that I can write or say that would describe how I feel, but if you knew Christina I probably don't need to.

The only thing that helps is knowing that she doesn't have to suffer any more. I think she must be on a grand adventure in some other time and place.

I have not been around much lately but I used to be a regular. I logged on to the chat today to find that Christina has passed. She was a great moderator and always friendly and willing to help. She will be missed. My thoughts go out to all her friends (Lilac!).
