Tributes

To Robert and family. It is with sad hearts that we heard of the loss of Christine. We have many fond memories of times spent with Christine and yourself over the years. It was a shock to hear this news only Friday night and we are sorry to have missed her funeral and therefore unable to convey our respects. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Heartfelt sympathy Robert at Chris’s passing. Although we met at church and I discovered her great organising skills being part of a cooking roster she organised,: I got to know Chris more personally through her sister Sue. We had many interesting conversations particularly regarding our faith. I still remember the days of her bright blue Rav 4 which I very much admired. God bless you and your family with His peace and comfort.
