Hello David, Rusty gave me the sad news.
I loved my Tuesday visits with Christine, seeing her beautiful smile and shining eyes. What a gentle, kind lady. I am happy she is feeling good now however. Keep her bird feeder full, love and blessings.

To the Zagwyn family, I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful woman who I was very fortunate to get to know when she was working in Devens. She always greeted me with a big hug and smile. Even after she left stopped working she would reach out from time to time. Simply a warm and wonderful woman. RIP Christine
