In loving memory of my sister Christine Iris Gilbert 3.26.83 - 9.15.12

This is my sister, Christine Iris Gilbert.

But she was better known as Chrissy, or Ci Ci. Chrissy lived her life in amazing fashion and impacted the lives of nearly everyone who was lucky enough to have the pleasure of knowing her. I could never sum her life up in words and pictures, but here's a little bit about my sister. I miss her a lot right now and I wanted to share a little bit of her life with you guys.

She was born 3-26-83 in Hollister, California. She spent her first years there before moving to Yuba City, Calif. where she grew up and graduated high school in 2001.

After high school Chrissy traveled and lived in Seattle, North Carolina, Equador and eventually Long Beach.

She loved. She loved a lot. She was charismatic and full of life. She loved Disneyland, tattoos, Sharks, dive bar, good music and good people. She was charismatic and made friends with just about everyone that was lucky enough to get a chance to meet her.

She worked a lot of different jobs in her life, but she was best known as a bartender and loved what she did.

What Chrissy loved more than anything else was her family and friends. She would call unexpectedly just to let you know she loved you, or to make you laugh.

She'd send me pictures from Ecuador just to let me know she was thinking about me.

On 9-15-12, Chrissy was a back seat passenger in a car that was involved in an accident after leaving Disneyland...

She had an amazing life and meant so much to all of us. Thanks for reading. I miss you sis.
