While I shed a tear at your passing, I will always remember the wonderful times we shared as docents at the Zoo every Saturday.

Christine, you were a one of a kind. You were smart, gentle, quick witted, kind, caring, wonderful docent at the Zoo especially with the children, and most importantly - my friend. I miss you, Christine.
