Cristi Cane died this past Sunday in her sleep from a seizure. Cristi was at home in bed and discovered by her boy friend Mike Hines when he retuned home from work. Here is what he sent:

"She was tuff, wished it would of been longer. Just last week she said she can finally see a future. Her mother knew this day was coming, and loved her daughter. She has seen over and over her daughter is gonna do what she chooses, and I had a choice too, and never ever would I of thought I'd be crazy in Love with someone so intent on killing themselves.
I founder her in bed, I turned her over, face up and held her, hugged and caressed her skin. I'm not saying every minute was turmoil but that time, that place, there was the peace she had found, and comfort and for a few minutes. I enjoyed it with her, and then a few minutes more."

Hi Tim,

Thanks for sharing.  It's a tragedy when someone so young dies way before what most of us would see as "her time."  The truth is, many people have demons they fight with every day of their life and most of those fights are never known about by anyone, even those closely associated with the afflicted.  From the boyfriend's narrative, it appears there's a lot more to the story but truthfully nothing that is anyone's business except those of her family and close friends who will mourn her passing the most and will need time to come to terms with her death.

Hopefully, what people will take away from all this is that the world lost someone too soon for reasons only she can attest.  She took those reasons to her grave with her and hopefully has found the peace we all crave.  Her beauty will live on through her images.

Wow, this definitely sucks.  Didn't know her, but I hope she finally gets to RIP.
