Blessings on this day

I was so sorry to hear about Christie's illness and passing. I remember her fondly. She had such amazing energy, so knowledgeable, kind, considerate, thoughtful, and helpful...she was wonderful to work with! My condolences to you all.

Christie was SO young when she took on the role of ECMO coordinator. I don't know how she handled all the pressure and still remained nice! May sweet thoughts of her bring you all comfort.

Christie was a tremendous team builder with an ever present positive attitude. I worked with her for over a decade as we established the first in the NW neonatal ECMO program in the mid 1980´s. When last we visited she still emanated great warmth and charm. My condolences to her family and friends.

Such sadness to hear of Christie´s passing; God´s blessings to her dear family. She was an amazing, caring ECMO colleague and teacher... very grateful for all she gave to the lives of the little ones.

So, so sorry. We went to nursing school together- she was at the top of our class and was an amazing colleague.

my love and prayers go out to you. Christie shared her great knowledge of ECMO with me and i will be forever grateful for that. It was a highlight of y nursing career.
