Kia ora Christine's whanau Your mother and I were good friends back at Dio in the 50s. I was a good girl and she led me astray, No seriously we had a lot of fun....painting each other's faces in an art exam while the supervisor dozed off, queueing up over night in Queen Street to be first to buy ballet tickets and for some reason lost in the mists of time painting the sewing room a bilious green. She was a talented force of nature and a loyal friend. My aroha to you all

It is with great saddnes that we heard of Christine's passing. Your mother and grandmother, was a kind and good friend to me and a wonderful person. Louis and are sadden not to have attended her memorial. Sending my compassion and thoughts from Wellington. May her dear soul rest at peace.

to Gary, Grant, Kent and Mark I have just heard the sad news of Christine's passing - and want to send condolences to you all. I am sorry to have missed today's memorial gathering, but am sending thoughts from Wellington. Christine was certainly a woman who made her mark -- no-one else has produced anything like her groundbreaking film, A Word in the Hand. Christine was a dear friend since our early dancing days in Auckland, and we had many adventures and good times. May she rest in peace,...

Thank you for teaching me to dance, NOT, with Jocelyn & Helen, even though it was so much fun. Our times at Panunui & Melbourne Cup days, you & Helen doing a "Adda" routine will never be the same again Lots of Love CB
