To the family and friends of Christina from John Wolff: You have my deepest sympathy. I remember Christina very well and I will also definitely miss her. I worked with her as she was in the bus and dish department at the Jamestown Truck Plaza Cafe. She was a very very fast worker and I enjoyed every minute of my time working with her. I learned things from her. One thing especially that I got to mention is when she told me that when a load of dishes would be finished to right away take that load out and immediately get another load in the machine running and that is the way to get caught up and stay caught up. I'm still doing it that way that she showed me. Not long after she showed me that way, I got a raise. I will never forget Christina and I wish she was still here and working with me in the restaurant but I know I can't have everything. I also remember working with Mike and Julie. I pray that Christina is in Paradise. Again, my deepest sympathy and God's blessings to you all. John K. Wolff
