To all of the family and friends of Christine, Christine was a lovely woman that I had the privilege of working with for several years at American Funds. She was very easy going, had the warmest smile, and was always so sincere. A time or two I think she worked a small miracle to get something accomplished in no time at all. I hope during this time, may your hearts warm to know how much everyone at work enjoyed her presence. May God bless you during this time of loss.

To the Family of Christine Fitzgerald- Life is but a stopping place,A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things,But never meant to stay... Our destination is a place Far greater than we know. For some, the journey's quicker, For some, the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We"ll claim a great reward and find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.
May this poem help to bring you peace and understanding.
