So sorry for your loss our deepest sympathy
For the family friends.

Christy and I became friends from the Garland Grill. She was always caring and had words of encouragement for me, both my son's being special needs and always sick and in the hospital. She would lift me up tell me what a great mother I am, how strong I am. She would stop by GG to eat and check in on me. She was so genuine, the true love she had for others. And I appreciated her for that. Love you Christy and I will miss you terribly
Christy was my best friend and like a sister to me. She has been a friend for 20 years and I will never have another friend like her. To our days at Northgate, girls nights, she watched me get married. I will never forget how caring and loving she was. Putting herself before others. I love you sweet girl and will miss you dearly.
So many to choose from like Bubba and Zoe spinning round with the rope until she let go and Bub went flying through the air and we laughed until our sides hurt. Or when you made me come over early the morning Nala was having puppies because you had to be at work and I bust in your house with my best Gone with the Wind impersonation saying “I don’t know nothing bout birth in’ no puppies Miss Christy”. But tops on my list has to be getting my revenge for all the years of torture you pulled on me with early morning April fool gags, scaring me out of my skin every year and I always fell for it, and then our little munchkin was born on April Fools Day. It was karma. I will love and miss you for all eternity.
Oh gosh, where to start? I first met Christy in the early 80's when she was about 4. Her father Tommy and I worked together. In those days I also met her sister April. Recently Christy shared a memory from those days about how I scared her and April. I guess they were in the family car with mom and I came up and shook the car side to side and up and down. I am still doing that to kids in cars to this day.
I stayed in touch with her life through dad. In 2003 I went to work HMI and a few years later Christy was also involved at work. Christy then started her own family and brought that wonderful boy Cooper into our lives. Then when Tommy passed Christy took charge and never looked back. We had our head butting sessions over the years just like I did with her dad. She was a " chip off the old block " to say the least.
I never thought life would take us to where we are today. Its all in gods hands as she is now.
Godspeed Christy Gossmann

I met Christy our freshman year at A&M in aerobic walking class. We were always last & became friends over making fun of the over achievers. We always had so much fun... maybe even too much fun living that night life & laying out by the pool. She was with me on my first beach trip, when we decided to catch a jellyfish in a cap because it looked pretty (& we didn’t know it was a jelly). Those trips quickly became our summer tradition, along with trips to the aquarium. It was sad to see her head back to Dallas, but she was always a daddy’s girl. I sat in awe of her as she became momma bear to Cooper. She is truly a momma bear. I remember how devastated she was over the loss of her dad & how hard she worked at filling his shoes while being the best mom too. She was always finding extra things to make sure Cooper knew how much she loves him. She even fed him chicken. I am so shocked & I cannot believe we won’t have anymore walks down the shoreline looking for sand dollars & starfish or no more “WTF is wrong with these kids“ late night calls. I miss you big time.
Christy was my cousin by marriage but became my friend by choice. We loved watching our dogs become besties as puppies and later our children (who are only 5 days apart) become best friends.
She was someone I could confide in and know would be genuine and honest with me. She went out of her way for my kids birthdays, spent extra time caring for her grandmother, and always included our family in get togethers and trips to the Zoo.
I was ready to become an old lady with her and watch our children graduate and get married one day together. I can’t handle the idea of that not happening anymore.
Christy, thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your love. We will miss you forever and love you always. We’ll be watching Cooper through it all and be sure he gets lots of trips to the beach in honor of you. Love you!
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort for you all.
I am at a loss for words. What I will always remember about Christy is her beautiful smile and strong but gentle presence. My heart is so broken for her family and son. I know that this world was a better place for 41 years because of her. The love that you could see between her and her son and fur children was undeniable. She will be so missed and my prayers go out to her family as they try to make sense of this loss.
