Hashem would test her in ways most Could not bear, her faith only grew stronger and even more did she care. For most of us should have tests, some of which we cannot bare, Because we are in these instances frail, like the wind blowing out a candle, Hashem knows this and doesn’t give us matters we can’t handle. These debts however, must still somehow wiped of the slate. So Hashem picks a person, one he knows from the start, a person of unending belief and compassion set apart. A person a Tzadika whose teshuva cannot be denied, whose tears are the same like that of one before, So when she asks, for Hashem to have mercy, Her motives unquestionable and pure to the core, That plea that she gives, even Hahsem can’t ignore. The tears that she shed, not once for he own plight, but were always for others many that are here tonight. I know this person, you say “She’s Mama Rochelle from Torah History, No my dear friends it also our OWN beloved Crissie.

Words are not enough to express how I felt inside... but Hashem knows how Crissie touched our souls inspiring us to love Hashem with honesty and purity of heart that no matter what circumstances in life nothing can stop us from loving more and more to Hashem with great longing to learn His Torah and live with it everyday, always with grateful heart and gladness of being constantly focus in getting closer to Hashem.

She was so precious to us and wil cherished her beautiful memories in our hearts that will constantly inspired us to learn from her examples that she showed us even in a very short time she encouraged us to move forward into getting closer to Hashem no matter what.... We love you so much Crissie....



May you Mama Sarah and family be consoled among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Love,
Arle, Dean and kids

Rabbi Eli I want to thank you for all you did for Crissie and for helping her on the path of learning.
You are truly a Blessing.

I have tried for several days to go into the Jewish Home, I am not sure if I am blocked or if it is my computer. I will try again later.

I have been reading her dreams and thinks for the last few days some are very deep and have given me a great deal of comfort and even stress.
I found one letter she wrote that showed me her inner battle and the letter she sent to her friends in the Jewish Home revealed she found her answer.

Crissie never wanted people to know she was sick. She never saw herself as restricted only as blessed by Hashem.

Thank You again Eli for being a light to Crissie and all who are touched by you and your lessons of Torah.

Sincerely
Sarah

Dear Sarah -

I just found out about Crissie and want to express my heartfelt condolences -
המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים
- may H'Shem comfort you along with the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Crissie was a role model of faith in HaShem. I don't think that I ever knew another person who had maintained such a positive attitude in spite of the many problems that befell her.

רחל רות בת עזריאל בר׳ יעקב ז״ל May her memory be an eternal blessing.

Dear Crissie,

I know that in shamayim you can read this. You are very special to me, and I miss you very much. I will always remember the fun we had playing music, joking around and listening to the shiurim. You very much brightened every day that I knew you. It was a special treat to be able to make you laugh and dance along with the music I would play.

I know hashem has given you a very special place in olam habah, and you are smiling, and dancing and singing, running and jumping, and doing everything you couldnt in olam hazeh. You deserve it more than anyone I know.

I pray for us all, that we can learn from your strength and kindness and love that you gave to everyone you met. You were a very beautiful woman, and we should all strive to come close to your level of Torah and Mitzvot observance.

I will never forget you and I will keep you in my heart always.

Your friend,

Simcha

I was very saddened to hear of the loss of Chrissie, she was

a most brave and sincere person.

I want to express my heartfelt condolences.

We can all learn from Crissie how much she suffered and accepted her

We have lost a very gentle being and one I hardly ever knew. Now I am learning about Crissy anew. It saddens me that I can only know of her now that she is gone. I have let the presence of a wonderfully sincere person slip thru my fingers. I wonder even now what messages she would have given to me. But the fact is Crissy is still giving lessons even tho she is no longer with us.

Crissy was a light, a wonderfully brilliant light that only shone for a short period of time. In that short time she accomplished much. In reading her letters I find joy, peace and comfort which is particularly surprising for a person in her type of condition. She endured and overcame her physical limits and reached out to anyone who was in range of her presence. She still is to this day a phenominal person and one I will never forget. Persons of her stature come this way only on rare occasions.

Those words "this be Crissy" will echo in my mind till the day I die! I will not say goodbye for there is another time and place where I will get to meet this kind and gentle person on a much higher plane than this mortal earth.

I am like so many people in the Jewish Home who feels such sadness at the passing away of Crissie, and my hurt is selfish, you teach me every time I read one of your letters.
Thankyou HaShem for blessing us with an angel who taught me so much
in so short a time.
Crissie did not fret about what was not fair in her life but asked HaShem what His will for Crissie is now.

Sarah it is so true that we do not know what we need the wind for until it has blown past us.

All my condolences to you and your family Sarah, Baruch HaShem.

I am saddened on hearing of her passing. She was a very kind person who always had a nice word to say to everyone.

I remember her even before "The Jewish Home" was started and how she would always enjoy the music that I would share. I remember all her good questions that she would ask. And most of all I remember her "hi" as she would always make the other person feel important.

She will always be missed.

Hello everyone,
Sarah asked me to post this letter for her, this letter came from one of Crissie's friends.They were friends for many years.

Dear Sarah,
At times like these it is very difficult for me to find the right words. Since the death of my father 17 years ago I have not been one to have an ability to find the proper eloquence to say the right things under the circumstances. What I can say is that I am very sorry I was not there to see Crissie before she passed. There are many times that I can recall when I needed her understanding and straightforwardness when I was basically without a clue. I still cherish the times we had together playing BG or just simply chatting about life, usually how screwed up I was and how she would try to make it better LOL. I know that she can look down on me know and see me for what I am, I suppose in the end that is how things will end for all of us. Crissie was a kind soul who was always willing to lend her opinion in a helpful manner. I will miss her dearly but also know she is in a better place.

Shalom.
Steve

Crissie has given me so much, teaching me about myself and how I relate
to Hashem. I am forever grateful to her for that. I know through her that
there is something more spiritual like the angels she talked about and
learning is not just about the number of pages one has read. She taught
me to seek out what lies beyond and experience the truth in Hashem s
relationship and message to us. Now it is up to me, you, and everyone
else she touched to put this into their lives.
I will miss her but never forget her.

Benny.

I have a need to mention Baruch Benny Naim who passed away on Shabbos, June 23, 2006, in Tel Aviv. He was a good friend and wrote many lessons on Torah for Crissie. He took the time to search for answers to her questions and even shopped for Crissie. He would take her dreams and find the things she saw hidden in the Yeshiva. I will miss you, Dear Precious Benny. I like to think that you, Benny and Crissie, are soaring the heavens like your poems. You were Crissie's banister, Benny, and she was the stairs; and sometimes you were the stairs and she was your banister. You both helped each other grow.
G-D knows how much I miss you both.
Peace & Love,
Sarah
