What a beautiful person Christine was. It was so lovely to hear the stories from friends & family and to see and understand how much she has influenced the generations after her. It seems Christine’s wholesome character and many wonderful traits are very evident in Alison, Violet and Rita, a small comfort at a time of deeply saddening loss for you all.
