Our heartfelt condolences to Peter and family. My husband worked with Peter for several years at PAR Associates (Peter's Company). I remember going to dinner at their house once and was absolutely amazed at Christina's garden. In fact, I was just telling my son about this amazing garden yesterday, not knowing Christina had passed on. Our prayers are with you Peter, and your family.

I am so sorry that Christina has passed on. I knew her as a Gardener Extraordinaire! Touring her gardens was always such a treat! And it was always a joy to join her for Master Gardener projects and events, and see her at various plant sales. She was such a charming lady! My heartfelt sympathies go out to her family.

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of this lovely, elegant, talented neighbor. While I didn't know Christina well, I was always amazed by her grace and charm. Whenever I was toiling in my garden and she walked by with her beloved dog Nicky, we would chat about gardening, about which she was so knowledgeable. Bill and I send heartfelt condolences to Peter (also a walker) and her family.

We send our sympathies to Peter and his family as we know Christina will be so missed. She was a wonderful neighbor and always admired her working in her garden that was her joy and pride. Also, have fond memories of playing tennis with her a couple of times years ago at the then 'Harvest House'. Again, Kent and I send our sympathies to her family.

We also knew Christina through our friend and neighbor Veronica and her brother Chris. While we didn't know Christina well, she always had a smile and a friendly word when we saw her, and certainly her children are the best examples of her spirit, kind and generous and thoughtful. Our thoughts are with this wonderful family.

I met Christina through her daughter and my friend, Veronica. Christina was engaging, bright and young spirited. She fit right in with our gatherings. I also remember the first time I saw her garden. It was enormous and had to be a labor of love year after year. She raised and nurtured a wonderful family. My heart and thoughts go out to Peter, Veronica, Tom and Chris. She will be greatly missed.
