Dennis & Paula,
I am so saddened to hear of Christen's passing. I remember her as a spunky, sweet, bright light. I know that no words can truly bring comfort in a loss so deep, but I hope you can feel surrounded by love and the lasting memories of her beautiful spirit. I´d like to share a favorite Helen Keller quote that has always brought me comfort, "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Please know that you´ve been in my thoughts, and I send my deepest condolences to you and your loved ones during this difficult time.

Dennis & Paula - We're shocked and saddened over the passing of Christen. She was beautiful. I remember driving her in the Tuscola parade when she was Little Miss Tuscola in my Metropolitan. Also babysitting for her. She was a livewire, lovable and sweet. Hope your memories of her never fade. Hugs and much Love, Bob & Linda Ogle
