Her family has released the following statement:
“I’m not really sure where to begin. Christie had so many amazing qualities. She was the sweetest, most kind, loving sister, daughter and mother to her children that we could have ever asked for.
“We always had each other through everything. She loved so hard and no matter what Christie was facing she always put on the bravest face for her three most beautiful children.
“I feel robbed and gutted. She was so strong and I hope she is only ever remembered for the brave and gentle soul she was. She is truly loved and missed.

He joined local drug dealer Vilhete at the party in a flat in Tilton Court on Thursday, 11 June, where the pair drank and took drugs throughout the night and into the early hours the following day.
The victim made frequent visits to the flat during the course of the evening to get drugs, before tempers flared.
A fight ensued between Mr Kasiliauskis and Vilhete. Vilhete assaulted him with a hammer and within seconds, Smith stormed over and attacked Mr Kasiliauskis with a sword.
The pair struck and stabbed the victim repeatedly until he lay slumped against a wall.
After seeing the brutal attack unfold other party-goers fled the scene and called police, while one witness stayed, attempting to resuscitate Mr Kasiliauskis.

Today, the inquest of Joy Morgan has ruled that it was an unlawful killing after the University of Hertfordshire student was found dead in a wood near Stevenage.
The hearing at Hertfordshire Coroners Court in Hatfield also heard that the midwifery student, who was last seen in December 2018, had no blunt or sharp force trauma to the body.
A dog walker eventually found her wrapped in bin bags, bound up with gaffer tape, and covered with a mound of logs in Norton Green, and she was identified through DNA testing in October 2019 after her murderer Shohfah-El Israel was jailed in August of that year.
