VANHAISTMA (Baltussen), Christina

All good things come in small packages, and God
sent us one of his greatest gifts in this package. On May 1, 2008 she returned to
heaven suddenly at the age of 32. She left behind her loving husband Eric - the
greatest love of her life. Precious and only daughter of Hank and Sandra (Newman).
Loving sister of Kirk (Laurie). Special daughter in law of Dave and Debbie (Bonham).
Fun loving sister in law of Chad (Jessie), TJ (Mandy) and Sara. Aunty of Ethan,
Lily, Isaiah with whom she shared many playful moments. Devoted step granddaughter
of Oma - Ria Geenan, granddaughter in law of Pete and Gen VanHaitsma and Ida and the
late Leonard Bonham. Chrissy will now be reunited in heaven with her late nona Mary
and grandpa Edgar Newman and the late Opa Bill and Oma Elizabeth Baltussen. Chrissy
blessed the hearts of her numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends by sharing her
zest for life and her "never give up" attitude. Resting at Arthur Funeral Home &
Cremation Centre on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 from 7 - 9 p.m. Funeral Mass from St.
Veronica's Church on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 12 p.m. Interment Holy Sepulchre
Cemetery. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of you choice

star - we will cry - but in time we will feel comfort knowing that the sparkle is
from your smile as you watch down on us. Chrissy you are one of God's greatest
angels. We love you and miss you dearly.
