Christina’s bereaved sister, Nicole, took to Instagram on April 2, to announce the devastating news via an Instagram carousel of photos showing precious moments they shared as siblings.
The bond between Nicole and Christina was one written in the language of deep affection, endless laughter, and unwavering loyalty. Glimpses into their lives speak volumes of a connection rooted in both playfulness and unconditional love.
From childhood to motherhood, every captured moment tells a story that words alone could never fully express. Her tear-jerking message alongside the visuals provided further insight into just how close the sisters were.
“I’m not sure how I’m meant to do life without her. She’s been my absolute best friend my whole life. My protective big sis that always had my back. She made everyone feel seen, loved, safe. She was the glue that held us and so many together. Christina, I love you so much,” reads a portion of the lengthy caption.
