Love and Kisses,

Kari

I am very saddened by the death of Christine. She was the consumate artist and a very beautiful person inside and ouside. It was a joy to handle her artwork in the Gloria Luria Gallery and many collectors constantly have the joy of owning her wonderful creations. Gloria Luria
