Dear Matthew, John, Donna & extended family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Christina was a beautiful woman. I had the pleasure of getting to know Christina through our girls going to school together at Forest Hills/McClure JH. I was one of Donna’s Girl Scout Leaders throughout Forest Hills. Anytime we needed an extra hand with our meetings or field trips, Christina would always be right there with a smile on her face. We would talk about our Italian Families and laugh. She will be missed. Our thoughts, prayers & lots of love are with you at this difficult time.
Our deepest sympathies,
Denise, Ritchie, Taylor & Sofia Schullo
