On June 10, 2016, Christina Grimmie was fatally shot by a fan. Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg Florida waited on line for the singer's meet and greet and upon coming face to face, opened fire and shot her. Grimmie's brother tackled the shooter in an attempt to stop the assault, but the shooter committed suicide moments later. A candlelight memorial was held in Christina's hometown Martlon, New Jersey, on ADD, and she was laid to rest days later surrounded by her friends and family.

Grimmie was only 22 and had so much talent and such an incredible future ahead of her. We lost such a singer who would have inspired us through music for generations to come. I think that it is important that we remember her for all of the wonderful gifts she gave to us through music, love, and faith. Here is a list of 5 things that I believe we should know and remember Christina Grimmie by.

1. YouTube

In 2009 Christina Grimmie started posting YouTube videos covering popular songs and sharing her original own pieces. She quickly became an icon in the YouTube community. She also collabed with many other YouTube creators and was adored by them as well. YouTuber Shane dawson tweeted his love for the Christina and you can tell she left a permanent mark on his heart.

She was a part of digi tour in in 2011 and performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas in 2015. She was touring with "Before You Exit" on the "All the Lights" tour most recently.

4. New Jersey Native

Christina Grimmie is another sensational talent that resided in the garden state. She joins the top dogs Frank Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and the Jonas Brothers leaving her legacy in the heart of NJ.

5. Her Faith

Christina Grimmie was an extremely spiritual individual. She had a massive heart that touched her fans, family, friends, peers, and fellow creators. She was an advocate for the humane society and did all she could to love all creatures. We should all remember Christina by passing on and sharing in her endless love for life, god, and the universe. She was taken much too soon and I do not understand why but I hope we can remember and share in her love and faith.

Selena Gomez sharing tribute to Christina's Faith:

Sometimes God allows terrible things to happen in your life and you don't know why. But that doesn't mean you should stop trusting Him.
