ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all of your kindness, Christi was and is my best friend and now she will have to share all her love and Joy with Jesus. We will always miss her and love her deeply, May God be with you and keep you all so safe. Love always and Forever, David Jenny DJ Amber and Michael Galloway.
ReplyDeleteI am a neighbor of the Galloways in Smyrna, GA.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I cannot say that I knew her well, over the years I have had many enjoyable
'neighborly' conversations with Christi about our shared and WIDE variety of interests. She would speak well and with great passion about life, politics, spirituality, music and fast cars, to name but a few.
These conversations usually occurred on one of her frequent visits to her family next door to me. Family always seemed important to Christi, and from the postings on this site, I can see where that admirable quality came from. I also admired Christi's 'joie de vivre' and indomitable spirit.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to Christi's family and friends as well as my wishes for Peace in your times of sorrow.

Everytime I saw Christi, she always had a warm smile and hug to greet me. She had a kind and generous heart. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. David, DJ, Jen, Amber and especially, Michael you are in my heart and thoughts.

Christi was like a sister to me. I remember meeting her when I was just 16 years-old when I started dating DJ, her brother, so we grew up together. She was so funny and loving. Everyone at CCA (our high school) wanted to be in class with her because she would make them laugh. She would give the srt off her back for anyone especially her family because that ws the way she was. The last time I talked to her was a few days before she passed away. She was so sweet to call me when she knew I was taking a long drive (from GA to MO) to my Mom's for a visit. She just called to check and make sure that I was okay. That is how kind she was that she remembered I would be driving that day. I will SO miss her and love her with all my heart. I know that her and my Dad are keeping each other company in heaven. Amber

Hi Jenny,
I have both emails. Thanks so much for calling.
I am very sad to hear about Christi. I wish that at the time I knew
she was in trouble, that I could have done something to make
sure she would be rescued from her pain.
You now know that in many ways Christi and I were very close
and I loved her dearly.
Nothing I can say can erase the pain that you must have.
I will only say this for now, that I was always happy when I saw her and we talked
for many hours on the the phone no matter where in the world I was.
I will call again if you like. I would have done anything for her and she
did the same for me.
I only have good thoughts about Christi, because that is who she was.
God Bless You
Pat
Thank you Pat for giving me the Peace I need to go on, I needed to know my daughter was who I brought her up to be a loving and caring child who would whip the whole world and light up the sky. Christi did that and I now understand why you all love Alice Cooper and why you work for him. I am so sorry I didn't understand how much this band and the people who are in it meant so much to Christi, I now know she is with the Lord and I can live with that. Rock on Alice Cooper and the whole band and thank you all for loving my baby girl. Jenny Galloway
ReplyDeleteA trip to get a haircut one day turned into a chance meeting of a very big hearted and carefree person that my family and I will never forget. I made friends with Christi from the start and we always shared stories of music, movies and talked of tattoos. My wife and I still recall one of the most memorable days of seeing her was a visit she made to our house. She came over to cut our hair, insisting even though she did not feel well. Our three boys all hugged her, and even our huge dog would not stop loving her. Christi got some dog treats from our cabinet and fed him the whole time, all the while petting him. She always hugged our boys, even after they grew older,shaking hands wasn't enough, you hugged Christi. Christi was such a warm and loving person. She cared about people and it showed. She expressed concern for my wife many times when my wife was ill as well as myself. We will miss Christi so much. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAlan and Amy Lee& Family
Jenny, you and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this most difficult time. Christi was a wonderful daughter who loved her family very much. She made such a difference in the lives of so many, always willing to help someone in need. Heaven has welcomed a very special person. Love, Paul and Carolyn
ReplyDeleteThank you for your call Alan, and also thank you Carolyn, I want you all to know that Christi did not suffer when she died. She did not over dose because she wanted to die, she had just got back from her Doctor who Prescibed Soma and strong Narcotics and it is called a Las Vegas Coctail and it is Lethal. The wreck she was in cause her horrible pain that was unberable for her and those pain pill's she couldn't keep track of. The Police said to my husand she was trying to cook something but she never got anything in her stomache that day except the Lethal dose that her Doctor gave her. She was planning a trip to see her Grandma with our family at the end of May. Her Birthday was May 12 and she just turned 30. My husband and I paid for her trip to Fl. she called me on her way home and said that was the best Birthday she ever had. Christi also had friends in almost every state she went too. She was a Roman Catholic who loved God and life. Christi had a strong Catholic upbringing and would never think of hurting herself, she believed she would go Hell. I am only writing this because some people dont know how she died. I hope this helps with your loss and my Faith has never been questioned not even by me. I love God with all my heart and I know my daughter dont hurt anymore. God be with you and thank you again, Love Jenny Galloway

Mrs. Galloway
After speaking with you and signing the page on your family's site, I felt compelled to share a few thoughts of Christi with you. Your phone call left us saddened and longing for the laughter and smiles that Christi brought to us. I immediately looked through my phone to the last call, and have saved the only the only text message left from her. It was a message she sent to my son and I at a Nine Inch Nails concert asking if we were there yet. I met Christi right after my divorce and during the time I was dating my now wonderful wife. I happened to walk into Great Clips and looked across the room to see this very lively and artsy young woman and I knew she could probably understand how I wanted my hair. You see I have tattoos and love art, rock music and movies, although I hide it during the day with my job. She understood exactly how I wanted my hair and began to discuss tattoos with me and music. Our friendship clicked from the beginning as I had met someone who was very friendly,nonjudgemental and like minded. Upon my second visit we discussed tattoos again and bands we liked, at which time she told me of her love for Alice Cooper. We discussed her one day getting a tattoo of Alice and how it would be done. During the time I was dating my wife, she lived across the country in Nevada, so once a month I would fly out to see her. Christi would always schedule a time the day before I flew out ,to cut my hair. She said I needed to look my best and feel confident before seeing the woman I loved. I remember times when she stayed over just to make sure I had my hair cut before seeing my wife. We'd sit and talk tattoos, music (Alice Cooper,Nine Inch Nails) with her as well as talk about my kids and at that time my girlfriend. I will never forget when she got Alice's tattoo done, she called me with so much excitement. She actually came over to show me and we high fived each other. She used to call me her tattoo buddy. When my wife moved to Atlanta she immediately met Christi and loved her. My wife has long naturally curly red hair and trust hardly no one with her hair, but Christi she trusted. Our first meeting together was the Nine Inch Nails concert where my wife met her. Christi hugged my wife Amy like she knew her, and told her of the stories I had shared. I always had to check her schedule, because I have three sons and a daughter. So usually lining all of them up with Christi for haircuts meant taking up alot of her time. She loved all of them and knew their names and would ask about them each time we spoke. continued:
My son Jacob has asthma, which used to be pretty severe, but has improved with time. She would ask about his asthma every time we spoke, even up until the last conversation we ever held. When Nine Inch Nails came in 2006 and I could only get two tickets for myself and Amy. I learned that Jacob and his brother Chandler wanted to go also. They had become huge fans of their music, which Christi thought was very cool. She made call after call and got two tickets for me, third row no less! Jacob went to his first concert and sat in the third row to see his favorite band Nine Inch Nails. I will never forget the look on their faces when they turned to look back in shock at how close they were and the awe of just being there. They hugged Christi at the show and thanked her. I told them the day of your phone call what happened and they are saddened also. Chandler is 18 and had been going to Christi to get his hair cut on his own for some time now. He sends his prayers as do all of the children. I remember when Christi had her accident and we were worried so much. She seemed to have so many things go wrong, with the flooding of her apartment etc. With all that came down on her I could still call her and she would answer with a happy tone and a quick "Hey! How are ya?"! That was Christi, she was always concerned about everyone. My wife has endometriosis and Christi would ask about her health even when Christi herself was the one having the worst day. I remember securing premium tickets to a favorite band of mine Tool and my wife Amy became very sick and could not go. I couldn't find anyone fast enough to sell them to, so I had to take someone. Christi was the only woman my wife ever trusted to go to a concert with me. We met up at the show and had a great time. The story I posted on your site is such a good memory to our family. Christi was still recovering from the accident and refused to let us have anyone but her cut our hair. So we invited her over to our house for awhile. Between the dog loving her, and her loving the dog, and the kids hugging her, it was quite some time before she could even get to a chair to sit down. She just had an awesome spirit about her that you don't find in everyone. I will never forget that she showed kindness and thoughtfullness during the time that I fought cancer. . Last year only two weeks before leaving to be married, a blood test came back abnormal which later led to a biopsy and my cancer diagnosis. I learned during the time of my battle exactly who my friends were, and Christi was one of them. I had people on my friend list for 20 years that never called. Besides family , only two friends called to ask how I was doing. Christi checked on me quite a bit actually. A true friend she was, a caring friend. A successful surgery , along with prayers and love from friends and family has led me to remission. I will never forget Christi's friendship that she shared during that time. I emailed her during my recovery and told her of the upcoming Nine Inch Nails tour with excitement. I just went back and read it the other day. It would be only the second time I had been out since my surgery and I wanted to take Jacob to see the band. Christi was very thankful and called me the day the tickets went on sale to confirm that we each got tickets. The day of the concert we had a hard time meeting up due to seating, which I regret so much now. We talked on our phones before the show and like I said earlier ,sent text messages, which I saved. Jacob and I were close to the stage again and on the way home he even brought up the first time we saw Nine Inch Nails together. I called Christi a few days later and we talked about the show for while and how much we enjoyed the performance. Christi would attend every NIN show in the immediate area when they came through, and she and I would discuss the music and performances. Continued..
ReplyDeleteThis tour was a special tour because Trent Reznor the lead singer had announced that he is maybe calling it quits or at the very least taking a long break. Christi even called me the day of the show to tell me of this, as it had just been announced that this may be the last time we ever get to see them. When we talked the week after the show, she mentioned how she was so happy she got to see the band, whether it was for a long time or forever. She mentioned her family. She ended the conversation with telling me to hugg the kids and Amy and tell them she loved them. She told me to take care of myself. That's the last time I ever spoke to her and it's how I always knew her from the beginning and how I will always remember her, for her love of her family,music,friends and life. I am heartbroken that my friend is gone but I feel so fortunate that I had the opportunity to cross paths with someone so special.

Jenny,
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to talk to you, to be able to share with you, how Christi had touched me.She was a wonderful girl with a huge heart and a beautiful soul. She and I would spend hours on the phone, talking about anything and everything. We talked about cosmetics, which was something that we both enjoyed. We would talk about animals, something we both loved. We would talk about music, her love for Alice Cooper. Her desire to become a movie makeup artist. We would talk about how drastically her life changed after the accident. We always ended each phone call with "I love you" and things will get better. Nobody I have ever met before had such a love for life, such a huge giving heart, She was one in a billion. ( she was far better than on in a million). One day she called me to tell me about Jerry Lee's friend, the lizard. We both laughed until we cried. She will always have a special place in my heart. I will truly miss her.
My heart goes out to you, and I will say special prayers for all of you, and of course for Christi.
Kathie
Seems like it has taken me forever to write this but I miss Christi so much that I can hardly stand it. I was so used to her calling me all the time and now I am so sad that I can never again see her name on my cell phone caller ID. We talked about everything all the time and now I find myself wishing she would call... if she would only call... I guess I just have to wait till Christ comes back to see her. I hope it is tonight. I say this every night because it keeps me going to know that someday I will finally get to hug her again. I loved her soooooo much!!!!I called her my baby girl. Wish I could stop crying... Thank you Jenny and David for sharing her with me, Much love and prayers to you both, Cathie D.
