Christy was always known to my Dad as his "Yellow Rose of Texas". She had a heart as big as all of outdoors. She will be dearly missed by her friends and family. One of my favorite more recent memories of Christy was when she came to Norfolk Virginia to attend my retirement from the US Navy. It was wonderful to share that special occasion with her. We had a family gathering at one of my favorite hangouts. It was called the Thirsty Camel. The "T" and the "C" were written in Old English script. Christy looked at the sign on the building and said "Look it's the "Christy" Camel. We all shared a hearty laugh! My heart is heavy, but I am happy to know that she is at peace and has been reunited with the her parents who loved her with all of their heart. Rest in peace dear cousin.
