Christina purchased Sugar Shack Espresso Café in 2000. Spending time with her family was a great joy for her and she was a devoted mother and grandmother.

She was a very generous person; always giving away candles or lotions to those who were special to her. She also had an unbelievable artistic talent from wrapping presents to home décor. Christina was a devoted catholic; she watched mass everyday on EWTN. She adored Mother Angelica and Joyce Meyer.

I have such wonderful memories of Chris that make me laugh and smile. She was so much fun in high school and we spent lots of time early in the morning working out as she lead the step class with enthusiasm. I think of her every time some of those songs come on the radio.
I’m so sorry for your loss and pray you all have those wonderful memories to get you through the hard times.

My heart aches at the news of Chris’ passing. My bestie through High school with too many memories to reflect on. Chris had a contagious laugh, had the most beautiful handwriting and loved cruising around the commons in her cool car that had a special trick to starting along with times where the wipers didn’t work and we took turns handling the situation while dodging rain and hail to be able to see out the windshield.
I am so sorry for the loss of Chris and wish that I had made stronger efforts to see her when I visited home. I will remember her beauty inside and out and reflect on the “notes” we exchanged that I still have and will cherish.
Thinking and hugging you all during this time!
