Cristina was a loving matriarch that left behind a strong legacy of family values, tradition and culture.  She shared her love of God and our Mother Mary with all people she encountered. When she was not crocheting, you could find her watching reruns of Family Fued, Criminal Minds and Blue Bloods.  She also enjoyed sharing her love with others through food.

Cristina will be remembered for her love of family, unwavering faith
in God and her beautiful smile.
