My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. I hope her memories burn bright for generations to come.
Much love
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I knew Christine in high school and considered her a friend. She was one of the loveliest, kindest people I knew. Highly intelligent, with a quiet strength & dignity, she was always a joy to be around. I have fond memories of sleepovers watching the royal wedding, playing basketball & volleyball, attending football games and just being teenagers. You have my profound sympathy and prayers during this difficult time and know that she touched so many people in many ways across the years. Regards, Anne Bergan
