Words cannot express the love in my heart for Christy and her valiant strength and the perseverance she had in fighting this terrible disease! She is a model for all of her friends to NEVER stop the search nor the fight. Christy is a light in my life.

Christy was a dear and cherished supporter of the Charleston Tango community. I always looked forward to a chance of sharing a tanda with her. Her obvious strength was an inspiration to us all.
