She’s the only person I’ve ever really trusted with my life,” Christina began her post. “Even in the era she grew up in she colored outside the lines and did things without fear of judgment.”
“She loved me hard and always let me know I could achieve anything I wanted to. She spoke life into me when I was down and taught me what unconditional love is,” the mom of three continued. “I miss her every single day. Taking back the family’s last name and know my grandparents are smiling from above.”
