"Unfortunately we haven`t had the chance to get to know Christa, but we just shared a few words with her and Klaus by skyping and felt what lovable person she was. And we are so happy that our son Bruno was so warmly received by Christa and Klaus and really enjoyed spending time with both of them.

Ich bin traurig aber dankbar dich gekannt zu haben.
Mir bleibt die Erinnerung an einen faszinierenden Menschen.

It is hard to put into words how wonderful, sensitive, caring, and
sensational Christa was. Christa had an intuitive sense about what
her friends needed - whether it would be advice on fashion, or complex
situations, she would always be there with love, compassion and the
right answers. We miss her very much. Love, Mel and Gail Ball

wir haben Christa leider viel zu kurz gekannt. ich dürfte sie erst 2010 während unserer Hochzeitsreise kennengelernt.Aber die Begegnung mit ihr war geprägt von großer Gastfreundschaft, Freundlichkeit und Herzenswärme. Sie war ein ganz besonderer Mensch, den man sofort gern haben musste. Bei unserem diesjährigen Besuch in Florida hätte ich sie so gerne meinen Kindern vorgestellt. Lg Alex

While I miss her so very much, I thank god that that she passed on so quickly without pain and suffering. Christa wherever you are, I love you, I always have and I always will, for the rest of my life...

Als Christa in unsere Familie kam, war ich 6 Jahre alt. Schon damals war ich von ihrer ganz speziellen Art sich zu "stylen" beeindruckt. Sie war so schoen! Die, fuer jeden spuehrbare, besondere Verbundenheit zwischen Klaus und Christa habe ich immer als etwas ganz seltenes empfunden. Sie war mir wie eine Schwester und ich vermisse sie sehr!

Dean and I met you and Christa in the summer of 1983 at a party that Jennifer and Robert Gould had. That party started a wonderful friendship with you and Christa through the following years that you were in Pittsburgh, Dearborn and Georgetown. Christa was beautiful and fun to be with. Sabina and our son Craig went off to college at the same time. Bridge was our game..Memories forever.

This is the song that your Klaus chose for your memorial website!
I guess that song says it all.
I am sorry for the past years of your living life on this EARTH, we did not spend more time together, you always the US. Will never forget you. RIP until we meet again.

Willee and I will always treasure our time with Christa - her wit, her curiosity, her intelligence and, especially, her kindness. Hers was an inclusive personality, so she instinctively reached out to others -- and she did so with a genuine sincerity that made her quite unique in a city where so many others make a career out of dissembling.

It would be hard to explain to anyone how gentle and kind Christa was to me and to my wife Suzy. She made you feel special and her smile put you at ease. The love she had for her daughter and husband was lengenary; every women that met her stood in awe of it. She is not with us today, but who she was and what she stood will forever live on. God Bless you, Christa!

Christa would light up the room with her glamor and beauty like no one else could.She always dressed like out of a fashion magazine. The times I was at their home and fabulous dinners with the Peters was more fun than you could imagine. Christa lives today as she is in the heart of the countless friends and family. I am so blessed that Christa and Klaus was in my life. Love always, Danny

after I worked for Klaus in Dearborn Mi. back in 88 as an asst. F&B Dir. I lost contact with the Peters for 20 years and we had an opportunity in 2010 to meet back in S. Florida and to introduce my wife Marina to this great couple and become friends, Christina and Marina with their love of fashion clicked right away, how sad that Christina was taken away from us so sudden.

Christa was like a crystal chandelier, beautiful to observe and would light up a room. Knowing Crista and Klaus for some forty years our relationship has been full of great memories that will last forever. When visiting Christa and Klaus at his many hotel assignments, Crista was always the most gracious hostess.. We shall miss her greatly.

It is mid August and Joan and I are here at our summer home in Minnesota. My memory of the two of you seems to go back forever. You and Christa had a wonderful, loving relationship. I am sure that she must have been the reason for your happy disposition and positive outlook of life. You were one lucky fellow to have shared so much of life together. I"ll give you a call soon. Kai

Shortly after our move to Islamorada, we were so lucky to meet Klaus and Christa while lunching at Cheeca Lodge. It wasn't long before Christa was a close girlfriend and we made many shopping trips to Miami, as well as sharing many fun times together as couples. She had class, style, a great sense of humor and of course great taste! I will always miss my wonderful friend.

Christa was a very special lady & friend. I had the privilege to meet her in late 80s in Dearborn(MI) while Klaus was working at Hyatt. A very open-hearted, friendly and charming lady, always ready to assist in any possible way. Full of joy and wished to be with her friends as she cared a lot. Indeed, a smiling good poker player. What a loss for all and in particular for Klaus. God bless.

Robert and I arrived in Pittsburgh in early 1983 and I met Christa shortly thereafter at a real estate course. We hit it off immediately. She had a wicked sense of humor with a mischievous twinkle in her eye; we laughed a lot. Fabulous memories of the late night parties at the Hyatt, not to mention the New Year's Eve ones. She was beautiful inside and out and - a truly unique person

Christa: was a Special Lady; From the time I met her in Montreal to the last time I saw her she always had a wonderful smile and outlook on life. In Montreal she was the only woman we would allow to play in our Poker Games and she, always with a smile on her face took me to the proverbial cleaners...While I miss all the money of mine she took with her, I miss her as Klaus does even more.

What is LOVE
August 7, 2013
by Klaus Peters
LOVE… LOVE… LOVE
What is love? We say it all the time at various occasions. “I love this city”. “I love this food”. “I love to play golf “, etc. and most of all
“I Love You”
We say it so many times, often without really meaning it. Through Christa’s action, I learned what true love is all about.
When I met Christa 52 years ago at the age of 16, she was in a midst of a promising career at a major German newspaper and was already successful as a fashion and photo model. I was a hotel apprentice making $10 a month.
My dad liked Christa very much, but felt that I was too young for a serious relation and started to systematically brainwashing me to end our relationship.
My apprenticeship ended in 1963 and I took a seasonable job as a waiter in a hotel in the French part of Switzerland. At that time, Christa and I were together for 2 years. Despite my dad’s protest, I asked Christa to come along with me. Just imagine, in order to be able to come with me to Switzerland, she gave up her career and worked as a helper in the kitchen of the hotel, having to share her room with a female utility worker.
Six month later, I accepted a job as a waiter at a hotel in Paris. Again, Christa came with me. At first she didn’t have a work visa. She ended up working as an au pair and living with a strange family. Fortunate, shortly thereafter, she did get a work visa and again started a promising career as a fashion model for Nina Ricci.
Only nine months later I accepted a waiter job in Houston, Texas making $3.50 a day. By then, my dad’s continuous brainwashing had become effective and I flew to Houston by myself. Well, this didn’t stop Christa. Again, and without me knowing it, she gave up her career and despite the fact that she didn’t speak one word of English, flew to Houston on her own two weeks later.
She didn’t know, that in the meantime, I had accepted a transfer to Hartford, CT and after arriving in Houston and finding out about it, she travelled to Hartford in a bus, 4 days cross country where we happily reunited. She stayed at a YWCA and I at a WMCY at app. $3.00 per night.
We didn’t like Hartford and after 3 month, I called the GM in Houston and asked him if I could come back. He confirmed and Christa and I took again the bus back to Houston, where she initially worked as a kitchen helper in the hotel.
How many people would have done this? Christa’s love was pure, unconditionally and totally committed. This love existed until she passed away 50 years later.
I was so very lucky to be loved so entirely by someone so beautiful and compassionate inside and out. I will always cherish our love and life together until the end of my life.
