Christine was one of my best friends. We shared a love of art, creativity, and life. These passions are what brought us together and made us friends despite a multitude of other differences. We knew that we could count on one another for truthful and trustworthy dialogue. She was a special person who lived for only 46 years but loved enough for eternity. I will miss her terribly until we meet again.

This candle burns in my heart as well as in our chapel. Chris's courage, good spirit, and ongoing liveliness is a model for us all. She lived....all the way to the end. May we do the same.
