ReplyDeleteToday family and friends gather to celebrate your life.
You live on in the memory and hearts of everyone.
Your smile, laugh and the spirit you brought to everything you did is held so dear to everyone.
You are now a angel in heaven watching over all of us. Be at peace beautiful angel. You are so loved.
A message was sent to be relayed to Anna and I thought I would post it as it is a very specail message. Thank you Lisa King-Barringer
When God calls some mother's children to dwell with Him above, we mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
No heartache can compare with the death of someone's child.
Christy made this hardened world of ours seem wonderful and mild.
God knows how much we need them and so, He takes but few.
Christy's made the Land of Heaven much more beautiful to view.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold and so, He picks the rosebud before it can grow old.
Believing this is difficult. Still, somehow we must try. The saddest word that mankind knows will always be "goodbye". So, when a mothers child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children....
Angels like Christy are hard to find!

God Bless the Betancourt Family in this day of celebration of Christy's life.

ReplyDeleteWe attended your celebration of life today.
I want you to know how strong your family is. Your sister paid an unforgettable tribute to you. The heart and caring for people that you always displayed showed in your family. Your stregnth came from your roots.
Many of your friends were there to share in your memories. Their passion for you will carry in their hearts.
Austin loves you so much. He is not sure who he will talk to now as you were the person he always talked to. Please listen to him from above. He wants to see luna. Know you will always be on his shoulder.
I am not sure what relationship you and Ausitn had, it seemed to be on the long term plan. I do know this, you have forever touched the hearts of my family and are loved by Austin.
Shine in the sky beautiful girl. An angel forever to all of us.
