I had a few classes with Christine in high school. She was always so sweet, so nice, so caring and so attentive to her friends and school.Christine helped me in our classes together whenever i needed help.no questions asked. She will be truly missed and is loved tremendously by all the people she touched in her life. Everyone that knew Christine should feel so lucky to know such a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
