Dear Lillian & Family,
I was so looking forward to your Xmas card and news of your family so you can imagine my shock to read of your grandaughter's death. I, as many others have expressed, cannot imagine your pain. I hope that time, prayers, and the love of family and friends will help you overcome your sorrow and fill the void in you heart with memories of that beautiful angel.
You are all in my heart.
Sincerely,
Christine Swan(Gajdostik)

There are no words to express the sorrow we share in your loss-in our loss. Christine was the most beautiful little angel with a blue ribbon to prove it. Carolyn I only wish I could be as wonderful of a mom as you are. From the time the stroller wheels first rolled down our block to the other day when she was riding her bike with her blonde locks peeking out from under her bike helmet-she brought joy to the gloomiest of days. Marty, Lauren isn't to young for Josh.....the garage is always open guys! We love you and will always be here for you.

I was lucky enough to have spent most of last year with Christine at St. Mark Preschool. She was an absolute delight and was truly special. I saw her just a few weeks ago when I subbed in the class and she was still as beautiful as ever. I will never understand why this happened, but I will always be honored to have been involved in her life.
