Life story
January 31, 1972
Born on January 31, 1972 in Garden City Hospital to Serina and David.
Christy was born and raised in Garden City Michigan. She lived with her mom at her grandparents house on John Hauk till she was 10 years old then moved just down the street from her grandparents. Christy was always very close to her grandmother Violet who was like a 2nd mom to her. Grandma always called her her baby and when we was little would call her Christopher. (I dont think Christy ever really liked that name) But she would have never told grandma that. She attended Memorial Elementary School then Garden City Junior High School. She never did graduate from High School but would have been the Garden City class of 1992.

Christina has told me here recently how they would wait for Patrick to go to bed so her and mommy could have a big girls movie night. They would pop popcorn and snuggle in bed and watch a movie.
