Christine, I think of you every day... can't believe I won't get to hang with you on my next trip to Montreal, that will be a first in 3 three years. You have made such a huge impact on our growing organization... your commitment and desire brought Retreat Yourself to Quebec, where it has remained for the last 3 years... your input, guidance and energy were such a major element of our evolution and we will carry all of your gifts with us as we move ahead.

We are family, and you are a massive part of it, always will be, your spirit will be in everything we do on the road ahead.

Love you girl
Geoff

I am so sad to hear about Christine's passing, the last time I saw her she was so full of energy and doing so well, I will never forget her like that. She taught me so much and I will miss her dearly.

Christine,

You will be sorely missed. You were such a positive person and full of life. It was a great pleasure to meet you at the retreat two years ago. My condolences to all your family and friends. You are an inspiration to others like you with cancer. Rest in peace.

Dear Christine,
You have touched so many lives around you... I was only in your company for 4 days in July '07 but you left a permanent warmth in my heart. Your energy was so sincere and inspiring. I remember you as someone who was extremely intelligent, competent, and compassionate. I always valued what you had to say and enjoyed to be simply in your presence. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and I wish you all the best on the next leg of your spirit's journey. xoxo

Peace, light and love always

I have never met Christine. I only know her from Maia Cooper facebook. And I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to the family only because she is in my age category and it's way to young to go to the other side. From what Maia has explained she was a very near and dear friend to her. I could only imagine how much she was loved. I pray that there becomes a cure. I pray that your family is spared any further sarrow.

In a truly selfless fashion, Christine helped me get through a very difficult time in my life while she was going through a difficult time in her own life. I will never forget her kind advice, her passion and determination and her beautiful and caring spirit. I am eternally grateful that our paths crossed when they did, and while these paths have turned in different directions, I know that they will cross again. In the meantime, I am left with plenty of peaceful and happy memories of Christine. I will cherish her always.

Hi Christine, I am so sorry to hear of your passing, even though we didn't have the chance to spend very much time together your story touches me deep to my soul, and, with pride, I call you sister. Be well, and know that I am with you. I will miss you tremendously.

And to Christine's family, I am ever sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. With my sincerest condolences and apologies for not having been there today, know that there was nowhere else I would rather be.

All my love,
Nadine

Mon chagrin se double de n'avoir pas su. Et la honte de perdre une amie que j’avais perdue de vue.

The day was brightest when Christine entered it. It was a decade ago, but it has stayed with me, has made me who I am. With regret, with love, my best to the many people who mourn her.

And a pledge : to fight this fight in her stead. To act.

Rest in peace, Christine. Merci pour ton sourire, tes encouragements et tes grands yeux rayonnants.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

In the short time I knew her while working with her at Wolters Kluwer Health, Christine was a breath of fresh air and spirit. We kept in touch through email and she was an inspiration in every message. I will truly miss her - my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends
