Khristshiavetta aka “Khrissy”- Mother, it has been my pleasure to learn humility, love, grace, and most of all forgiveness in this journey called life with you. My heart is at ease knowing that you are resting with God and those who are dear to us and have gone before us. Family is the anchor that holds us through life’s storms.
