A second year has passed since you took flight and left us. Though I feel it was too soon, you were called to be His side. Your memory is with me often in the calls I place to your mom and dad, a gift you left with me to treasure for as long as possible. Just Monday, while I was shovelling, I heard your voice in my head saying... "what are you doing shovellingyou know you're not suppose to...". As I swallowed deeply, I also chuckled to myself... I continue to miss our friendship and talks. Rest well...

Another year has come and gone bet your memory still remains, I think of you often, especially St Christmas, one of your favorite times of the year. Someone told me that I had an angel looking down on me, and that it was you. Missing your smiling face, always.

I woke up with you 2 years ago today. Many of us fell asleep that night changed loved ones forever. You impacted so many lives with your beautiful smile, eyes and zest for life.
May you look down and smile upon us as I often look up to you and God and say thank you for your time here. You have made us all better people for knowing you.
I pray we meet again. Thank you for being you.
Miss you dearly.

I think of you every day my friend and know in my heart you are in a happy pain free place now. Your advice on painting projects is sorely missed, but not nearly as much as you are. RIP !

Another year has passed, with so many changes, I still year your voice and remember your laughter in my ear, our telephone conversation and the time we spent together, the things we shared and our time together. I still miss the opportunity to speak with you anf hope you are at peace with P, P, T, T, B & M in your arms.

I sang you happy birthday like I did every year, and I could still hear you giggle at my "great" signing skills lol. We chat differently today but it's the best we can do until we meet up again. I love you forever and a day. Xoxoxo

Still thinking of you. Thankful to have had you as a best friend for our 8 years here on earth. I still pray and hope heaven is everything we believed.
I will always remeber Jan 16 and June 8th with fond memories of a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart, smiles, eyes, kisses and love.
Miss you...

As June 8th grown nearer my thoughts go to a Birthday wish I cannot send. A friend I hope to chat with from time to time as we grew old and shared our lives wonderful adventures and twists. I read this today and thinking back on all the beautiful thoughts everyone shared, this poem is offered in memory of this wonderful person who we were so lucky to share part of our lives with.
Thinking of You
We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our hearts.
A million times we`ve wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you,
you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you...
the day God called you Home.

My deepest condolences to Christine's family and friends. Christine and I became best of friends in high school. We shared many special and memorable times together. We got together, at Christmas time, and reminisced about old times......I am so grateful to have shared that special moment and so many other special times with you, my dear friend!!
I miss your beautiful smile and your kind soul!! Rest in peace Christine. XO

I just found and am deeply saddened by the news. I worked with Christine at ATD in 2004 and met her again at the Canada Post building. The only thing I remember about Christine is her smile and gentle demeanor. My condolences to the family and God bless Christine's soul. She will always live in my memories.

Dale,
I am in shock about Christine's passing. My deepest sympathies to you and her family. I know she meant so much to you.

My deepest sympathy for Christine's family. Christine was my boss at the CRA for many years. However, she was more of a friend than a boss. She was always smiling and ready to listen and help. I just saw her a few weeks ago and she was the same happy person. I am so sorry for your loss.

Although I live in the Ottawa area, I was sitting in Church in my home town of Wahnapitae when I heard of Christine's passing. I was so shocked. I looked over at the organist, James Tregonning with disbelief. He just nodded yes. Chrsitine was an awesome person. We got to know one another in high school. She had a gentle soul and a big heart. My condolences go out to her family. She will be missed!

I worked with Christine many years ago at CRA. We had a lot of fun together at work and outside of work. We had many conversations about life and laughed a lot. She was sweet and kind and had a beautiful smile. We recently reconnected and had a very nice visit. I have many ceramic Christmas ornaments that Christine so beautifully crafted which I will cherish forever.
My sympathies to her family and friends. Rest in Peace Christine.

Christine, you were my best friend and my love. I see you every where in dreams and while I'm awake.
Your warmth, smile, eyes, laugh and beatiful personality will be missed.
My heart goes out to all the Blake family. She was proud of her heritage and all her Sudbury days. I am proud to say I had an opportunity to meet everyone of you.
I can't explain fate and why these things happen. We originally met as survivors and now I know another side of feelings.
I kills me inside looking for blame when we were told she would be home in 2 or 3 days.
I am so sorry this ever happened. A piece of me is gone with her, but memories will last forever.
