Christine Rasmussen

I just heard this and I am stunned and heartbroken. Chris was a very special lady. And Mrs. R was a beloved teacher.I just don't know what to say...

Sam, Aaron and Nathan Chris was a true gift from God. Whenever someone needed a pick me up talk she was there. Always with just the right words and a smile. Heaven is her reward .

Was Blessed to have Mrs. Rasmussen as my 1st grade teacher at Memorial, she had to straighten me out a few times. Was also fortunate to have Mr. Rasmussen as my Chemistry teacher at VHS. Both have been positive influences on my life. RIP, Mrs. Rasmussen.

Christine Rasmussen exemplified the ultimate model of someone with a compassionate servant's heart. Every conversation was inspired by smile that was captivating and a conversation filled with uplifting phrases. Chris was the person in the room that all walked away from feeling better about the day.

Always loved running into Chris at Town and Country... We would have our catch up time... I´m going to terribly miss her.. May she rest in peace..God bless you, Sam!! With all our love, The Karamesines´ Family

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
