Please accept our deepest condolences. She was so young and vibrant when we last saw her 15 years ago. The Argyle Fair made me wonder whether her beautiful pictures were still there. We haven’t lived in Babylon for 15 years but we still have her art to remind us.

Tom and Donna,
We are incredibly sorry for your loss. Christy was not only my mom's best friend for so many years, she was a member of our family.
May her love and light continue to shine brightly in your heart.
You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
