She was a remarkable and talented Christian lady who I remember as a stalwart at the church. There is hope in her being reunited with her special loved ones and in her heavenly home with Jesus. Prayers and sympathy-

I just heard about Ms. Christine. I live in the house next door to her. It was the home of the Kitchens' for many years. In fact, Beth is who told me about this. I so much enjoyed seeing her work in her yard. It was so pristine - all the time. I think of her often. God Bless

Christine was such a lovely woman; beautiful and sweet. She was a special friend of my dear aunt, Christine Pulliam Thames. She made my wedding cake 64 years ago and made the most beautiful "sugar" flowers for cakes. I'm glad to know that she lived such a long and wonderful life. Glenda B. Smith
