We met Christy in Laurinburg NC and followed their travels from La. to Mi. to Ohio. We enjoyed keeping up with their lives and meeting every fall for a beach week in North Carolina. She was one crafty lady - needlepoint, smocking, quilting, she had the patience to do it all, beautifully! We will miss
Christy.

I met Christy while she was a nurse at St Tammany Hospital in Covington,La. At the time I owned "The Shaker Bench" Little Shop a few Blocks from the Hospital and she visited me there often. Christy always came through the door of my shop with a Big Smile and we talked about her work as a nurse and her beautiful daughter Amy. She came to work for me whenever I had to go to Market on a buying trip. I loved having Christy at the shop. I Remember handing the keys to her and telling her when she opened the door in the morning feel free to treat the shop as her own ,and she did and my customers Loved her. I Loved her . She was my friend , we shared memories and family and I taught a Basket class at my home where she attended. My Friend was a Joy, she was Kind and Loving and I will Miss Her. She will Be in My Heart Always.
