Dear Family,
Sorry for the passing but we know it was time and she is happier now. We cherish our memories of the family times together and in the later years her unexpected but welcomed calls to chat. We loved Christine and will miss her earthly presence but know we will see her again. Love, Barbara Jean & Karl Binz
