Holding you all close to my heart tonight and always. Sweet Christi, you are my inspiration, my hero. Thank you for showing me how to live each and every day of my life to the fullest. Thomas Team, thank you for sharing your hopes, your fears, your pain, and your beautiful girls with all us 'strangers', we have been richly blessed to come to know you. Please give Christi a kiss from me. Christi, you've fought long and hard, soon you'll be an angel and flying free.
Will sit vigil here in prayer with you.
Dear Thomas Team,
Thank you for sharing your amazing Christi with all of us. She loved and was loved so very much, and she fought one heck of a battle. She was a true warrior. She taught us all how life should be lived. You have been incredible parents guiding her through this most difficult of journies. She lives forever in the hearts and minds of all of us. Please know that you both and Shayla are being lifted in constant prayer. May God bless and comfort all of you.
Love,
Chemo Angel Holly Hart
may the long time sun shine upon you , all love surround you and the pure light within Christy guide her home
I will continue to pray for your beautiful little fighter.. May god bless Christi and the entire Thomas team at this terrible time.
Love , Erin

May Heaven's light shine even brighter tonight as this beautiful angel earns her wings. Rest peacefully sweet girl.
You don't know me, nor I you, but I have been reading your blog for about a year. From the beginning, my heart has ached for everything that Christi and your family has gone through while being inspired at how you've all handled this...with grace, dignity, courage, hope, and faith. You all have been an inspiration.
Nothing I can say can ease your pain...and I so wish I could. I have lost two children, though the circumstances were different. I will pray for all of you while you go through this unspeakable (not sure if this is the right word) time. As the months progress, and you start to feel as though others think you need to "move on", know that there will those of us that understand that this is something that you will never be able to "move on" from...in the traditional sense.
You will forever be in my prayers. The Thomas team has so completely touched my life (and so many others) that Christi will always live on in our hearts.
God bless you all.
I truly have no words...nothing but tears...
Your daughter Christi is amazing, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and loving. Your hearts are filled with an endless unconditional love for her. I believe we are all born with a purpose and a promise. I believe the lives of your family have touched the world in ways that you may never fully know. I am a new reader to your blog, but I am moved so much by your story. I am not sure if I cry because of the trajedy or the beauty of the lives I witness and am in awe that the two extremes could co-exist so seamlessly. I send you love from my heart and a hope for a quiet place within you all to rest and heal. I hold my own girls closer because you are here, because you love so much, and because you have shared your story. Thank you.
Dear Angela & Shayne ~ as I sit here reading your latest post, I can do nothing but cry for you all. I am so sorry that Christi can no longer fight this awful disease. Please know that in the months to come, you'll still have a lot of people thinking about you and praying for you, trying to help you get through the days ahead. Your Christi will be missed by so many people that lives she has touched ~ even though we've never met face to face. You are an amazing family that has brought out so much love.....
I am sending my hugs and prayers from my home to yours.

Farewell Little Christi. Gently, gently, guided by your guardian angels, may you be lifted up to a beauty beyound comprehension. May your precious family be enveloped in love and wisdom and unity always. Fly little one, in peaceful freedom soar and be whole once again.
This is so...
I am having trouble writing here..
I am so sorry....
My thoughts and prayers are with you all....
Huge hugs...
Bless you.
I stumbled here quite randomly but was tranfixed by your accounts, your story, your words, and your strength. These images bore a hole in my heart. Its not often I leave words for strangers but I was compelled to pay my earnest condolences. Out of nothing more than human compassion I share your grief, knowing that somewhere in the world a child like yours is enduring so much pain for no rhyme or reason. I hope the time you have left be warm and everlasting. Christi, I wish you and your family the absolute best.
I know you receive tons and tons of comments. I am a mother of three children, and I have not been able to get Christi and your family out of my mind. I wake up in the middle of the night, and my thoughts go immediately to you all. I pray and pray, and now I pray that her life in Heaven is started off easily, and that she is able to leave this world in a pain-free manner.
I am so terribly sorry for the anguish, pain, sorrow, and sense of loss you are feeling. I could never fathom your feelings right now. I just want you to know that someone in Northwest Ohio is thinking about you all tonight, as are many others around this world.
God Bless, Christi. Godspeed, little girl. Godspeed.
Dear Thomas family,
Even though we have never met, I am a parent too and I am sure I can only imagine a fraction of the agony you are going through. My heart is breaking for you and for the beautiful young lady you call daughter. Please know that there are many like me who love you all without ever meeting and who are upholding you in prayer. May the peace that passes understanding fill your heart and souls. My prayers are with you constantly~~~~~ I oh so wish there was more I could do~~~~~~~
Love,

Our prayers are with you. I wish there was more. I'm glad she seems peaceful now.
Oh Thomas Team. I'm new to the whole scripture thing, or else I'd find something to quote for you.. but just know that tonight I am holding you in my prayers and thoughts. I'm praying for peace for Christi. I'm praying for your strength. I'm praying that you will be held up by those who love the Thomas team for as long as you need it, even its forever.

i am thinking of you with all my heart and wishing for a peaceful journey for my hero, brave Christi. it's just not fair.
Nobody can ever know or understand "YOUR" pain. My heart is breaking. When its time(God knows I wish it would never come) but when it does Christi will be the most beautiful Angel in Heaven. i am thinking of you non-stop and praying for no more pain. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
I'm so very sorry that things have taken this turn with Christi. I truly have no words that seem right or can possibly comfort you, but I do truly thank you for sharing your lives and Christi's life with me through your website. Christi never seemed to let anything get her down, and she embraced all that life had to offer. Your little Shayla is a sweetie, also, helping her sister and so concerned about her little bunnie. My thoughts and prayers are with you; I hope that Jesus just wraps his loving arms around Christi and takes her home in peace. I hope too that those same loving arms embrace the three of you and that you find some comfort in the days to come knowing that at least for a time you were able to know the special little soul that is Christi.
my prayers are with you tonight...i lit a candle for christi and plan to keep it going for how ever long it takes...we bought our 5 yr old a bird yesterday, she named her christi :) she has forever made a space in my heart for her. i can only hope she is resting tonight.
xoxo

She is so very loved. I can feel it through the words you both write, through the pictures, through the comments made by the many who pray for her! My heart is breaking...
Love -

Praying for a peaceful passing into the arms of Jesus for your most precious Christi.
She put up on hell of a fight for sure. Assisted by the two most awesome parents any child could wish for.
I love you all dearly and will be holding you close to my heart.
Love and prayers for always,
Heather
Without a doubt Love.
I have just found this blog thanks to a friend of mine. I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today and for the next coming weeks. I pray that you may have the peace in your minds and in your hearts. I believe in that higher being and that He will welcome her with open arms and that she will long for that embrace. May God be with you and your family.....
