She will be sadly missed she was like a sister to me. I have known her most of her life. She was a very nice person and we had lots of fun together. God rest her soul.

Deepest condolences to Ralph (Liz), Helga, Johnny and Cindy (and husband) on the passing of a dear mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. Know that she was always proud of you and loved you unconditionally. As well, you could always see the light that came into her eyes when she spoke about her beloved grandchildren/great grandchild. Christa was the person who was the witness to my older son's first steps whilst I was at work. If it couldn't be me, then I was OK with the fact that it was his Auntie Christa. Her kindness and generosity of spirit in the beautiful hand made quilts she gave out will never be forgotten and they will always be a sweet remembrance. My youngest grandson just loves them. Christa fought a good fight and we all hoped that she would win it by shear force of will but 'twas not to be.
She is safely home in the arms of a loving Heavenly Father where she can again, "Run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint". "Oh what rapture and bliss there's no song can express, we will shout, we will sing o'er and o'er. As we great with a kiss and with joy we caress, all our loved ones that passed on before".
Till we all sit down together again in heaven, dear Christa, aufwiedersehn.
