CHRISTINA A. WRIGHT

Remembering Tina, once again, as the anniversary of her passing and her celebration of life are noted at this time of year. Tina was one of those people for which there is so much gratitude in knowing her--thankful to God that our lives "intersected!" Loved our talks at work and the wisdom and insight that her conversations always displayed, in her quiet, understated, yet, often, profound way--she thought deeply about people and situations...praying that she is enjoying God's best blessings...
