Aunty Chrissy we have struggled to put into words all that you mean to us, we wanted to write a poem for you, as we did for Nana all those years ago. You planted seeds in every heart, With kindness as your bloom, Now that you've gone, Aunty Chrissy, Your garden still finds room. In laughter shared and stories told, Your presence lingers on, A blossom in our memories, Though in this life, you're gone. Your wisdom, like a gentle breeze, Still rustles through our days, And in the quiet moments, We feel your loving gaze. Though the earth has claimed your body, Your spirit soars above, A radiant flower in heaven's field, Watered by our love. We'll tend the garden that you left, With every tender thought, And cherish all the lessons That your life so sweetly taught. So rest in peace, dear Chrissy, In fields where flowers grow, Your legacy of love and light, In our hearts will ever glow We love you so very very much xxx

Aunty Chris I will miss your support, your love, your ability to see when I needed a hug or a kind word. We had so much fun. You could always make me laugh and you always made me feel better about everything. We only had to look at each other and we knew what we were thinking. We couldn’t sit too close to each other at staff meetings because we were too disruptive and all it took was a look. I will miss that connection more than anything. Lots of Love, Always. Romy xoxo

Chrissy wasn’t just an aunty; she was the ultimate badass who made life richer just by being in it. She was the one you could turn to for absolutely anything, no matter how big or small. Her laughter, her advice, her way of making the world feel less heavy—it all made her the kind of person you felt lucky to know. To my mum, Chrissy wasn’t just a sister but a best friend, her partner-in-crime through all of life’s ups and downs. Together, they were like a couple of teenagers, sharing secrets, giggles, and those inside jokes that only they could understand. Watching them together was like witnessing pure, unfiltered joy. The world doesn’t feel the same without Chrissy. It’s quieter, a bit duller, and missing that spark only she could bring. But I know she’s not really gone. I feel her presence, like a whisper in the wind, a comforting voice in my head reminding me that she’s still with us, just in a different way. I’ll miss her so much that it feels like I could melt into a puddle. But even in this sadness, I hold on to the memories, the laughter, and the love she gave so freely. Chrissy, you’ll forever be in our hearts, and I know you’ll be around, guiding us and keeping us laughing, just like you always did. Rest easy, Aunty Chrissy. We’ll see you in the little moments, the ones that remind us how much you meant to us.

Aunty chrissy You always made me laugh so much! Your caring heart, always spoiling me and my kids, made us feel so loved. I never felt judged by you—only supported and you were always so welcoming. Your love was constant, and it’s something we’ll carry with us forever. Thank you and love you more then youll ever know. Nikki leighton bayleigh braxton.
