I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Christine's family. We attended public and high school together. I remember Christine as kind, happy, with glowing blond hair and a glowing smile. Though we haven't seen each other for years, I am saddened to learn of her passing, and I wish all of her loved ones peace and strength at this time.
My deepest condolences,

I was so saddened to hear of Christine's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Christine during her Laurentian years and the early days of life in Toronto. She was fun-loving, witty and kind --hearted. I ran into her a few years ago, at a cross country meet, when you girls were all in elementary school. Christine literally glowed when she talked about her girls because she was so proud of you. May you find peace and strength from one another and from the caring support of those around you.

I was very saddened to hear of Christine's passing. Far too young. Christine and I worked together at Compaq in the 1990s and I was always impressed by her wonderful personality and her thoughtfulness for others. I know many others shared that view. In fact she was so good at what she did that the President of Compaq hired her away from me. I remember at the time her talking of her first child and how happy she was to be a mother.
I will always remember her.

Like so many of her High School girlfriends, I was shocked to hear of Christine's passing. My heartfelt sympathies to the daughters she loved so much and was so proud of, to her sisters and to her mom and dad. May the countless happy memories she leaves with you be of comfort to you at this sad time.

From the Kovacs-Walsh home, our deepest sympathies on the loss of your lovely mother. We first met her when she brought her Riley to our Riley's birthday parties. Later, she was so good to our Molly for countless sleepovers. Hers was always the face I looked for at every school gathering so easy to get along with and my "birthday twin." The world is a little darker without her sweet light.
