Sincere condolences to all of you, Buzz, Vincent, Mason, Sheri and Steve. This is so devastating as Christa is so young. Cherish your wonderful memories, always, with much love. May God hold Christa in the palm of His hand until you meet again.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Christa and Buzz being at Vince’s football practices every night and being at every game, bringing Mason in a stroller – and this past football season it was so good to see Mason on that football field. Your family will be lifted in prayer.
” I know nothing can take away your sadness, but I hope the warmth of your memories and the concern of thoses who care so much about you can bring you some comfort during these difficult days.” Renee Materese My heart is breaking for your loss. Christa, her family and friends are all in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. I too lost 3 people in the month of October. Something I really found comfort in was our hope in the bible. One particular verse found at John 5:28,29 reminds us of a resurrection of our loved ones. Knowing I will see my loved ones in perfect health one day is such an encouraging thought. I look forward to a peaceful earth myself. Ps 37:10,11 tells us the the wicked will be no more and the righteous will reside in the earth in an abundance of peace. We sure don’t have peace in this world now do we? I hope you can find comfort in these words as you deal will the heavy pain and grief.
