Will always remember Christine as a wonderful colleague and good friend

My son was a patient of Dr. Wijman's. Although he had many other doctors during the course of his 25-year illness, she was one of the few who've not only left an indelible memory but also for whom I have a profound gratitude. She didn't treat him long nor exclusively by any means. But she had a way of communicating her interest and her compassion as no other physician did. He felt it; I felt it. His gratitude was mine as well. My son died in January 2012; Dr. Wijman the following year. Both...

I have thought about her now and then since I had the pleasure to spend some time with her. She was my first real teacher in neurology; my senior resident.Whenever I had gone to San Jose, which I don't do that often, I met her; she was very kind to spare a few minutes for me. I just got the news of her passing today. For me, all along, she has been living with full of energy, a bright smile, a warm and friendly soul and heart, and clinical acumen that you envy for. She was a real "good"...

As much as I thought I knew Christine, I am in awe of her numerous accomplishments since we trained together as Neurology Residents 20 years ago. She always told it like it is, typically with a big smile, no matter what the subject. Her unique combination of being Fearless, diligent and compassionate will always remain in my memory. I am very sad and sorry to hear she is gone.

SHE WAS A WONDERFUL DR. ALWAYS NICE NO MATTER WHAT THE TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT.

Dr. Wijman was helped my family in desparate times and saved the life of a family member, we will be forever grateful

My deepest sympathy for this loss. May her husband, children, and family find comfort in the warm legacy of love and passion Christine left.

The news of Christine death came as a shock. There isn't much one can say to ease sens of loss. May a lifetime of wonderful memories give strength to family and friends and colleagues in the days ahead.
