“She was special. She walked in the room and she had an infectious laugh, she was determined, she was confident, but she was so incredibly sweet. You would never forget meeting her. I’m shocked she didn’t actually win season six. Her star was shining so bright, which certainly makes this that much harder.” — Carson Daly (host of “The Voice”) on NBC’s “Today” show.
“Christina was such a kind, generous person, and so talented. What a light has been taken from the world.” — John Green (author of “The Fault in Our Stars”) on Twitter.
