voice

In a joint statement on a GoFundMe page, they said: "The outpouring of love and generosity that has been displayed to our family throughout these last few weeks has far exceeded anything we could have ever imagined.
"As we have always known, Christina's life was so very special, not only to us, but to everyone she touched with her joyful heart, beautiful voice and love for life and the Lord."
The family went on to thank those who had recognised the former 'Voice' contestant with donations and various other tributes, and confirmed they are discussing plans to 'honour' her in future.
"Words cannot express what the many memorials, donations and tributes shared by Christina's fans and those in the media and entertainment industry mean to us. "She will live on in our hearts forever. We will take our time in determining the best ways to honor Christina moving forward. Thank you."
