Angels Camp,CA…”I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my friends and family who put together a truly amazing dinner, auction and dance on December 3 in Angels Camp, called Chrissy’s Christmas. It was held as a benefit towards my battle with breast cancer as well as in memory of LeeAnne Aschwanden, who was one of the most beautiful, funny and compassionate people I have ever met and miss dearly as do SO many others. She made a huge impact on many of our lives and would have been over joyed by the success of this event.”

“Our community has always supported one another when in need and once again has shown its support in such an extraordinary way. I can not even put into words what this incredible outpouring of kindness has meant to me. The donations made both financially as well as in auction items were truly overwhelming as was the sheer turn out of people who were so kind to take the time to attend and celebrate LeeAnne’s life and show their support for me and my family. I just want to say thank you to everyone who participated, whether by helping put this function together, donating items, cooking or attending. You are all amazing and what makes this community so unique from all others. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”
