My Mom was such a beautiful person with a huge heart. Everyone who knew her loved her. There is not a day that passes that I dont miss my mom. I cant believe more people have not signed this guest book because so many people knew and loved my mom. I am in the hospital in Australia at the moment because I slipped on a sea wall made of rocks and smashed my head really hard on the concrete floor by the water. I have been told I have a concussion and slight amnesia. One thing I remember and will never forget is just how awesome my mom is! I love you mom! I love you so much!

To Christine’s family, I am so sorry to hear of your great lost. I met Christine about 11 years ago when her boss Karen Adkinson told me to go a few doors down and apply for Spanish teacher for ML. Christine was one of many great teachers that I had the honor to work and teach them Spanish. She was so scared at first but lord and behold my dear Christine soon embraced the whole Spanish program 110% and I was very proud of her. In fact I still hold many Spanish materials she and her children made. To my amiga Christine RIP, I miss you already.

Please accept my condolances over the loss of your sweet Christine. I hired Christine as a teacher at Minnieland and worked along side her as her director for many years. I am proud to call her my friend, and professionally speaking teachers do not come any better than Christine. I made certain my granddaughter Katie was put into her class, because I know firsthand how loving and competent Christine was in the classroom. I've worked with many preschool teachers over the years, but she was the BEST and I loved her very much. I was with her when she boarded the helicopter at Potomac Hospital and her faith and strength even then will always be an inspiration to me. She will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to work with her.
