Our family is not broken by the loss of Christina, but made stronger by the memories of her beautiful life
First of all we would like to thank each and everyone of you here today to celebrate the beautiful life of our beloved niece Christina Rose Rucker. My name is Mary and my sister Patty and I wrote this farewell in honor of her. We have to say this is by far one of the hardest and most difficult things we have ever had to do.
Christina, had tremendous strength to endure all the obstacles she had to face in her short time here on earth. We couldn’t help but to notice all the people she inspired, loved and cared for. She had so many amazing qualities it would take a lifetime to tell, so we are gonna try to make this as brief as possible. Ok this is the continue:
Searching through Christina’s Facebook page we came across two poems that obviously had great meaning to her because there were only two.
The first: Hapiness is a butterfly 🦋 which when pursued is just beyond your grasp...but if you will sit down quietly, may a light shine upon you.
The second: Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow!
In so many ways these poems expressed her exact thoughts. Just like the 🦋 Christina was patient, hopeful, and determined. She had more faith and courage than anyone we have ever seen, she was undoubtedly remarkable. Because YOU SEE!!!! She knew she had so much to live for. Even though deep down inside one day she would lose the battle to this awful and gut wrenching disease...CANCER!!! Knowing this she still woke up each morning with pride, joy, and happiness for her family, and most importantly for her children karter, Abby and lil Riley.
Christina was not only beautiful on the outside, but she was a beautiful soul, and although, incredibly difficult this reminds us not to feel sorrow for her death, but rather to feel greatful that her presence had blessed all of our lives. We are all better people today because SHE was part of it.
My sister and I are honored and will forever be greatful that we got the opportunity to be her aunts.
Christina was smart, bright, creative, colorful and lived life to the fullest even for the short time she had with us, and her personality...well....was just to big for this world!
Often we forget that those who are the happiest in life, also hide their pain the most and Christina was no exception.
Through all the pain and tears of losing our beloved precious niece, we have to find a way to remember that she is no longer in pain or suffering. We have to find peace and strength in knowing she is still a light in our hearts and within her children, and knowing that gives us solitude.
Words can not begin to describe how much our beloved niece will forever be missed. It breaks our hearts of the very thought. However, we know in our hearts she found love in each and every one of sitting here today. We also, must remember that when we look for her. We can look to the stars ⭐ at night and in the eyes of everyone her today and find a little piece of her. In that since she will live on forever!
Upon closing, I will leave you with this thought. Tell your loved ones you love them often, and when you think it’s enough tell them again especially if they already know it!
Thank you 🙏 from her loving aunts! Mary & Patty
God Bless You All.

Jerry and I were so sad to learn of Christina’s passing. She worked for us at Avis and we will always remember her funny sense of humor and her fierce loyalty.
We loved her and will have fond memories of our time together.
Today, we say farewell to Christina, an amazing Mom, a beloved Daughter, a cherished Sister, and dedicated Friend. Christina was one of the strongest women I knew. I was blessed to be a co-worker and friend of Christina's for ten years. I'm old enough to be her mom but I was always so amazed at how much this young lady could teach me. She taught me life lessons like; how to forgive people, how to care for people, and how to be strong in illness, all by example. She had wisdom well beyond her years.
Thank you Lord for the time you gave us with Christina. I say farewell, not goodbye because I will see your beautiful face again in heaven. Your friend, Doris
I love and miss you Christina. The sadness in my heart will never leave. I see you everywhere. I sit in your room just wishing you were there, holding your picture or your pillow. I along with your sister light a candle in your room because that’s what you loved. I will always love and miss you. Mom
