On a personal note

Christina is the mom of three adult daughters and one son, and she’s the proud grandmother, “GiGi,” of her darling granddaughter!  She lives with her husband and family, and their 5 lb. Papillon named Cocoa, in Powell, Ohio, but they spend much time in Miami Beach with Christina’s parents who are snowbirds, especially during the winter months.
