Kim, I am so sorry to see this, but I know this was a woman who was greatly loved and respected. I heard many wonderful things about her, not just from Emilia, but from Steven as well. She was a lucky woman to be surrounded by love and happiness and you were all lucky to have her for so many years. May her memory be for many blessings! Best, Miriam Foltz

To Nick, Ruth, Maritsa and family,
I truly enjoyed the bit of time I had with Christina (and with Nick, Maritsa and Ruth too) over the years and it was a privilege to be apart of her life. Her smile and giggle were infectious and I will always remember her fondly. I’ll say a prayer for everyone and will be thinking of all of you. What a sweet lady. Love to all, Katie Mausolf
