To The Christian Family: Mrs. Christian was a great lady. She always had an encouraging word to say at the Ladies Ushers Union meetings on 4th Tuesday Nights when she could come. We will miss her spirit and loving smile. Nancy J. Broadie, Ladies Ushers Union Of Richmond & Vicinity

We feel we have lost a dear family member. We grew up with the Christian family on 32nd and "O" street. Watched Ruth's babies, Cedric and Sandy as toddlers running from their house to our house playing in their diapers and cute summer outfits. As faith would have it, Ruth moved next door to our Mom on Watts Lane. We will miss hearing your voice saying "Miss Mary" to my Mom and telling me you all were looking out for her when I was out of the country for many years.
Now, we have your back and will also look out for your baby "Cedrick" (C-Baby)
With Sincere Sympathy.
Miss Mary and daughters, Ellen Pryor-Lee(a.k.a.) Lou, Dottie , Jeff and Kevin.
