I can’t imagine what you all must be going threw loosing a child. Its not suppose to be that way. Tom said that Chrissy was too good of a person and she was needed with God. Her short time here on earth she touched many of lives. May God give you all the strength and guidance to get threw all of this. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

All our love,

Fran and Tom Winward

With our deepest and sincerest sympathy.

I am very sorry for your loss. Chrissy is beautiful in so many ways! She is now an ANGEL looking down on us!!! We will miss her always. God bless your family.

There are no words that can express how we feel about the loss of your daugther Chrissy. We are so sorry about your loss. She was a very nice, girl. Always smilling.

We will miss her. She will be always in our hear. Your friends.

Sonja and Dylan

The tears we shed for Chrissy are as genuine as though she were our flesh and blood. We feel so priviledged to having known her, even if just for such a brief time.

My deepest sympathies go out to Chrissy’s family and friends. She was truly a beautiful and sweet person. i am glad to have known her for the time that i did. She will be loved and missed by all!

I graduated with Chrissy…it’s so hard to think back on my four years at Hollywood Christian and remember the jokes and laughter between all of us and to think that I won’t be seeing Chrissy at the renunion. But then I think, there must be something great going on in heaven that the rest of us just haven’t been invited to yet and we will all reunite someday. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends…I pray that the memory of Chrissy’s smile will get you through this difficult time. I am sorry I was not able to make it there to show my respect but know that she is missed and I feel blessed to have met her.

I sit here crying about the loss of Chrissy for her mom and me. I talked to Chrissy the day before she passed away and she told me how happy she was with her new job, home and with Danny. She told me she loved me and her mom and couldn’t wait to see us in a few weeks. She finally found happiness and it was all taken away hours later. Live for the moment and be good to your friends and family – because it can end in a split second. Chrissy – I loved you like a dad and was proud to be your “stepdad”. Mike

I am very sorry to here about Chrissy.She was a beautiful girl.I live out of town so i could not be around like i wanted to be.She will be dearly missed by all. I give my sympathy to the family and my love.

I worked with Chrissy at JP Mulligans for a short amount of time, but in that time she became a friend. I haden’t spoken to her in a while but I never forgot her nor will I forget. Her laugh and smile always got me through the day. My heart goes out to you. She will be missed.

I am so sorry about your loss! I have been best friends with Chrissy since high school. I want Ray, Sharon, and Ray Ray to know how much I love them and that I will be around I promise you that! She was such a BEAUTIFUL, kind, wonderful person that will be missed. I will never forget all of the memories I had with her. I will see you one day until then know that I love you guys with all my heart!

I send my prayers and love to all of you who are hurting at this very sad time…. I am very sad that I was unable to attend Chrissy’s funeral but know that she will be deeply missed…Whenever I think of Chrissy I automatically think of her wonderful smile and adoreable giggle.. I will always remeber and think of you Chrissy…. God bless you and your family..

Chrissy and I danced together at Dance & Company for many years. Many of my memories are with her. My heart sank when my mom told me what had happened. I was with Alison Faulk when I found out and we both were just in shock. I now run a dance program at a high school in the Orlando area. I want Sharon and Ray to know that my Winter Show will be dedicated to Chrissy. Chrissy will always be in my heart and I will miss her greatly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Chrissy’s family- she was such a fun, sweet girl. I can’t even imagine your pain- just know that there are so many people whose lives she touched in a wonderful, positive way.

Sharon, my heartfelt condolences to you. I am sure I can not even imagine the scope of your grief. God be with you.

My deepest and sincere sympathies go out to Chrissy?s family. She was a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed.

I am a friend of Vangie’s and i was so sadden to hear of the sudden lose to her family. Your family has my deepest condolences.

May you always cheerish the memories and not relish on what was lost.

I am so sorry to hear about Chrissy’s passing. I danced with Chrissy for many years and remember her as being very sweet, lots of fun and a great dancer. My thoughts & prayers are with your family & friends at this rough time.

I am very sorry for your loss. I danced with Crissy at Dance & Company and enjoyed the time that I spent with her. I always have and will always remember what a happy giggly girl she was- she will be missed. My prayers are with all of you.

Only the good die young ! Words are inadequate. Take care of the dogs Chrissy. Sweet dreams.

Deepest sympathy and regards to your family. I didn’t know Chrissy well, but I DO remember her fondly.

Sincerely,

Miss Peggy…long ago dance teacher

Sharon & Mike, nothing in this world can replace the love and joy a child brings to our lives. Though time may heal some of the pain, we can’t forget the loss. Nor do we want to forget…. the happy times, the smiles, the feeling of bliss you’ll recall with all the fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort knowing Chrissy is in a peaceful place.

Sharon,

My deepest sympathy for the worst loss imaginable. It’s not supposed to happen like this. Take comfort in Mike and your family and friends.

I am truely saddened to hear about her passing. We didn’t know each other closely, but her sweet, light hearted spirit obviously made it’s imprint on all of us. I send out love and light to everyone that loves her, during this time of profound change.

Peace, Lourdes

Sharon, honey, i am SO sorry to hear about you losing your daughter; i actually didn’t hear until now, but i haven’t been out much lately.

you have been through so much already with your own health-related problems. to lose your young, vital, beautiful girl must be destroying you inside; you have my VERY deepest sympathy.

i LIVE for my beautiful 15-year-old “baby girl” i, too, have been calling my daughter that since she was a baby; even though now she is taller than i am!; i could not imagine my life without her; she has given me strength & reason to live every day since she was born.

i cannot even begin to imagine how you are coping with the intense pain you must feel as a result of your loss.

i’m sure you have alot of support around you; between mike, your relatives & friends, & of course the whole biker community. however, if you ever need to talk, & would like to speak with me specifically, i think either you or mike should be able to get ahold of me via billy.

and mike, you have my sympathy as well, for the loss of your “step-daughter”; i didn’t forget that you must be grieving as well. but i know that chrissy’s mother will never get over this for as long as she lives. all you can do is be there for her, mike; try to keep sharon as strong as she can be, & encourage her to try to stay as healthy as possible.

take care of each other;

love you both,

Ruthie

Hey Sharon & Ray

I can’t express my feeling and questions why,”In Life”” we have to deal with this kind of lost you both have endure.

From what I understand HE does not give a person more than they can take.

Be Strong!! And someday I’m sure we will all be together again. If not I will be pissed!

Mike take care of our girl!

I just found out about this horrible tragedy and apologize for not having known in time to attend her funeral. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Chrissy. Whether it was goofing around in dance class, being silly at a sleepover party or jumping for excitement at a dance competition each and every memory is filled with laughter and joy! Trying to imagine this world without Chrissy is surreal. I can’t begin to understand what a painful time this must be for each of you that were close to her but please know that my thoughts, love and support go out to you.

Chrissy,

God, I remember so many times we laughed. The time we I fell down the stairs on the cruise ship and broke the glass. We fell on the floor laughing so hard! Then Sylda, oh my god! I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you. You have always had this unforgettable laugh. You were such a beautiful girl that had so much going for you. God took you so early. I know he has his reasons. I just wanted to say that I miss you and you will always be in my heart. I love you Chrissy and I hope you will be my angel looking over me.

Marlee

Dearest Sharon, I just heard about your terribly tragedy. I am so very sorry to hear about Chrissy. I can’t even imagine the pain you are enduring. My deepest sypmpathy goes out to you and your family.

I danced with Chrissy as a child. I just recently heard of her passing from a friend. I send my condolences to her family. Chrissy will be missed.

Dear Sharon,

I just heard about your terrible loss. My thoughts and my prayers are with you. May your precious memories of such a beautiful young lady keep you strong. We all know her warm spirit will embrace you – always!

With deepest sympathy,

Dear Sharon:

I just recently heard the tragic news and my heart is filled with sadness. How can this happen to such a young beautiful person so full of life. It makes you stop and reflect on how important it is to live each day as though it is your last and not to take anything for granted. My thoughts immediately went back to the dance days and recalled how incredibly beautiful Chrissy was on stage. Her presence always brightened the day with her infectious laugh and fun-loving ways.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathy. What a loss to the whole human race, God must have had a better job for her. Condolences to you and Sharon, I know it has to be awful.

Sharon and family:

We just heard of your tragic loss. We remember Chrissy as beautiful, fun and sweet. She is truly an angel in heaven as she was on earth.

Our deepest sympathy

I just heard of the horrible news about Chrissy…I am in utter shock. Chrissy was one of my best childhood friends and the thought of her not being on this earth is more than surreal. Chrissy touched so many people’s lives with her amazing sense of humor and wonnderful ways of making the best out of every situation.

I lost my 24 year old babygirl on the same day last year and we burried her the same day as yours. She died in a head on accident in Ohio. Please know I share your pain and pray that as this undescribable 1st anniversary approaches, as difficult as it may be, we need to know they are in a better place and looking out for us.

I am so sorry about your loss. I just recently heard the news and I was speechless. My prayers are with you all. I have so many great memories of Chrissy and will never forget her.

Sharon:

Susie and I are so sorry about your loss. We just found out yesterday.

I will never forget her smile and the days she and Susie spent traveling to dance together. I know it was alot of running around but the girls made the time go quickly just chatting away. Our heart-felt sympathy to you and your family.

Adrienne and Bill

I am soooo sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful daughter. I never met her, but to lose your child, and at such a young age, must be the most heartbreaking experience I can imagine. I have a daughter myself, only 20 years old, and I worry every day that I will lose her. I don’t know what made your daughter Chrissy pass away at just the beginning of her life, but I know that mine is playing with “fire” everyday, and does not realize how much she would be missed by everone whose life she touches. May God be with you and yours in this unbelievably difficult time, and my thoughts and prayers will be with you, hoping that God will carry you through this, since only he really knows why he needed another angel to be by his side. Believe me, that even though I don’t know you very well, my heart goes out to you and your family and I pray for you to have the strenghts to carry on.

With deepest sympathy, Carmen

My family and I send our deepest condolences to the Mading family. Chrissy will always hold a special place in our hearts. Many memories will be cherished and looked upon with a smile because she filled so many lives with joy! May she continue to bless us with her spirit until we are able to meet again! With love,

The Simmons Family Dave, Myrna, Missy and Wendy

Some of us still think of you Chrissy, you are not forgotten. We had some good times back in the day, every day was a whirlwind, but it was fun.

I look back on the time we knew each other as a growing time in my life, and I learned a lot and changed for the better.

And hey, we’ll always have Hollywood Beach, pizza and way too many drinks at the Flickerlight, waves crashing, and faking a honeymoon to get a discount on a room. Good times Chrissy, hope you’re dancing wherever you are,and I hope you’ve found whatever you were looking for.

Wow almost five years. I hope that not everyone forgets so easily. It must be lonely , there are those of us that still don’t forget though.

You are not forgotten you crazy girl.

Just in case I don’t check back for a while, you are still not forgotten. Can’t believe it has been 6 years now, was just telling someone that it seems like time is flying by now. So much has happened in the world in 6 years, and soon it will be 10 years. And then 20. It truly makes me sad that you won’t be around to experience any of it, hope you’re listening to some Billy Joel right now and sipping on martinis.

I have loved you always and will miss you. Also miss you great breads, rolls and pies.See you sis .

Our deepest condolences to the Campanella family Deacon Joseph

Looks like it’s that time again. In a few weeks it will be 7 years. I always seem to remember right around the date, kind of strange to be honest. Just was telling a bunch of stories of our adventures to a friend, they said we sounded like a tornado. Which I guess we kind of were, but I will never forget and never regret. I am glad with where life has gone, but I am also glad that you were part of my past. We had a lot of fun, and if there is one memory I will leave here until next year, it’s you combing your hair on the bed with your back to me, sunshine glistening through the blonde strips of hair. Then you turned and looked at me and gave me that wry smile that you had, that hint of mischievousness hiding behind your eyes. I will never forget that memory, because you were truly breathtaking in that moment. And then we got crazy. Because that’s what we always did. On October 25th I will have one in remembrance of you in one of our favorite places. See you next year.

So you probably thought I forgot! I didn’t, I actually remembered last September but wanted to wait till closer to the actual date. I thought I had but I just looked for some reason and realized I never said anything last year. Anyways, I’m here now making sure you still know someone is thinking of you. I hope you are listening to some Billy Joel up there, and I hope that you finally found some peace, I know that life threw some curveballs at you near the end and you were struggling. Remember that time we pretended we had just got married so they would upgrade our room? From the Flicker to the beach to the room, that was a fun night. I wish you were still around just so I could see how you were doing, I’m sure you would have a nice family going by now. Keep on dancing, I’ll see you again soon.

I swear I thought I had come here more recently, but it looks like it’s been 3 years now. Just letting you know still think about you, and just spent a nice walk with a friend talking about you. So yes, you are still thought of. It hadn’t even been 10 years the last time I was here, and now it’s been 12 years since you left. Twelve years, I cannot believe it’s been that long. Like the other times, so much has changed. I wish I could remember more memories with you, but I still have some very strong ones. In the end, you were right, we weren’t meant to be together, because my life now is what was meant. That doesn’t mean that we didn’t have a great time. Just now I once again had the vision of you that one morning, sitting on the bed, the sunrise coming through the screen behind you, and you brushing your hair. You really looked like an angel that morning, it is a scene that is burned into my memory. I hope that I can continue to write to you here, and hopefully someday some of your family might see this and realize that someone is still keeping your memory alive. Every time I search for this, I’m afraid it will be gone. But it’s not, so I’m here, saying hello. You were amazing.

It’s been 3 years again since I last posted. You are still not forgotten. I can’t believe in a few weeks it will be 15 years. So much had changed, the world is crazy, but you knew the fun of crazy. I sometimes wonder what you thought about as you left us, was all your pain washed away? I still don’t think I will ever really know what happened but I hope that you are laughing away somewhere. It’s funny, you passed at such a young age that I was as well. And as I get closer now to middle age it seems so long ago. We were in our 20s, and now I’m getting close to 50. I really wish you would have been able to stick around longer, would have loved to see what you would have become.

I’ll be back, maybe next year, maybe in 3 years, maybe when I those 50s. But I’ll be back, your memory will not be forgotten.

Well, actually did make it back in a year. After it being 3 years last time, this time I remembered almost exactly a year later. I know it’s always around this time, late September/October.

Coming up on 20 years since you passed. I can’t believe I am actually muttering those words. Twenty freaking years. You were only on this earth for 25, and almost as many years would have passed. Every time I come back here I hope to see someone else has posted here, someone else has remembered you. Thought of you, looked you up and found this page. It makes me wonder if when my time comes, will anyone ever do this for me.

It’s like they say, you’re still alive until the last person breathes your name. I know your dad has passed a while ago, if there is anything out there I’m sure you’re having a grand old time. It’s crazy the one picture of you that still exists on the Internet is exactly how I remember you, I’m pretty sure the picture was taken around the time we were together. It actually has almost been 20 years since I last saw your face, now that I think about it.

Which actually reminds me, the last time I saw your face was as you said you were heading to the bathroom. I never even realized it until right now, that was the last thing you ever said to me in person, the last time I ever actually saw you was as you walked away towards that bathroom. I’ve posted nothing but good memories here over the years, but now that I think back, the last one was a very bad memory. That was the night you disappeared, you never came back from the bathroom, I waited for 20 minutes and you never came back. I spent hours that night trying to find you, going into every bar and club in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. I eventually had to give up and drive home. Only to find out the next morning that you had “spent the night” with two old friends of yours, that happened to be male. I know that you were adamant even after it was over between us that you had never cheated on me, in fact, so adamant for me to know that I actually do believe you never did.

It was just who you were. Our very first date, you disappeared. I actually ended up finding you that night, but there were quite a few of those nights between us. Not sure if you remember you spilling your drink that first night and breaking it all over the floor. I’m not sure how we lasted a year, we were pretty crazy and had even crazier times.

The memories have definitely dimmed as almost two decades have passed (cannot believe I’m saying that). I have a beautiful family that I wouldn’t trade for the world, and I know that you and I were never meant to last, we truly were on two different paths. It’s almost as if the universe made our paths cross for that year before you died, we spent every single day together, and we didn’t even live together officially. I was either at your place or you were at mine, I would leave work and come see you and we would spend all night together. And all weekends, we were literally never apart, it’s kind of insane now that I think about it.

I wish I could have help saved you. From what I know now, I think why you got so crazy all those times you drank is because you were taking those pills after all. And I think that might have been what ended up being your downfall. I’m sorry that you appeared to be in a bunch of pain and just wanted to escape, and I know I tried for a long time to help you escape that pain. I hope I did show that there was light at the end of the tunnel, it’s just that our tunnel was never meant to last.

I’m not sure how long this site will stay up and allow me to post, every time I come back I keep on thinking it will be deleted and all of this will be gone forever. Which is why it makes me quite happy that for almost 20 years I’ve been able to continue to post here, I don’t know why it stays, but I’m really glad it does because I hope that wherever you are….

…..someone is still thinking about you.

Well this time I didn’t even wait a year or 3 years. Was randomly looking something up and thought of you, and thought to come check here to see if it was time to say hello again, which it is. It also just made me realize it’s now been almost 17 years since you left this planet. Which every time I post here, I keep on talking about feeling older, but the fact that it’s going to be 20 years in just a few more years really puts stuff into perspective. You will have been gone almost as long as you were on this earth, which I just can’t wrap my mind around. I struggle with getting older, but I am sure that gets no sympathy from you.

Most of the memories remain from before, you brushing your hair in the sunlight, faking just getting married at the hotel, the Flickerlight. My family and I spend a lot of time in this one place and you sometimes come up in a specific story, so even to this day you are talked about. As they say, we leave this world twice, once physically, and finally the last time someone mentions our name. Keeping you around as long as I possibly can.

Would really have been great to see what life would have had for you over these years, I know we ended on crap but I think I was one of the only people that actually brought out the good in you. You surrounded yourself with bad and when you finally got something good I think it probably scared you.

I’m getting old(er) myself Chrissy, and I’m definitely starting to wonder about Father Time. I should have a long ways to go, but you begin to feel time creeping up on you. I hope you’re holding me a spot somewhere, our lives together were only meant to be a passing leaf in a twisting tornado but I still would love to say “Hi” again some day.

See you next trip around the sun…..
