She had many interests and excelled at everything she did. Christine was a black belt in karate; she enjoyed drag racing, and was an extremely talented artist. She enjoyed spending time with her family, and her soul mate and the love of her life, Brian. Christine loved riding her bike with Brian; she was planning her wedding and wanted more than anything to marry him. Christine was always so full of life and always had a smile on her face; she was an inspiration to those who knew her. Her smile and laughter and great sense of humor will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. She will always remain in the hearts of those who loved her.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Alice Jean Lombardi, her uncle, Lance Cook, and her aunt, Denise Marshall.

Christine, As I'm sure you already know I talk to you on a regular basis. But today Ronnie and I were up at the lake and there were 3 different beautiful butterflies continuously flying and landing, basically hanging out with us and our new dog, Claire. I would like to wish you a Happy Birthday and to say Thank you for a wonderful weekend, the butterflies and the most amazing rainbow yesterday that appeared out of no wear. (I sent this to your sister for her birthday.) Love you Christine...!

Dear Christine, I saw your cousin Rochelle when I visited Daytona Beach last month; she looks lovely...It just became summer on the 21st of June and all the colors are in full bloom here in Colorado, my home.

You have been on my mind the last few days...not sure why...just thought I'd drop in and say, "Hi". Thank you, Angel, for watching over our Rochelle (and her Tavis, too).

God bless you, Angel. Madeline

To honor you, Christine, I will do my best to live and love each day to its fullest. Love you and miss you sweetie! Until we see each other again in His kingdom.

Dear Rochelle [Lisa, Brian]: Time is our great healer, and no one can tell us how to grieve a loss such as this. Moment to moment is my way, but your way may be different to reach solace. No matter. You will surprise yourself each day with memories, and perhaps reflection of a long ago, fragment or forgotten joyful memory, and smile - even laugh again. May God Bless you & yours at this time.

September 17, 2010

Christine- I still don't know exactly how to feel. Energy never dies, it just changes form- yours is all around us now.

The connection we shared was sweet bliss in a world filled with so much madness.

I'll miss you babygirl.

Christine, what I can say about you that has not already been said. You were such an awesome person to have in our lives. We all loved you so much. I can't even count the number of good times we had together those twenty four years. You will forever live on in our wonderful memories of you. May you be at rest now and if you happen to see my mom around tell her I said hello and I love her. Catch you on the flip side.

I remember the first time we met,lol. Right off the batt it was obvious you and Brian were mad for each other. Each one complimented the other. Some ppl go a whole lifetime never finding that person. You guys did it. Remember its better to have loved than to never have loved.

Brian..............we tried so hard brother,so hard. Keep that head straight..

Christine, I knew you were something special the first time I heard my uncle talk about you. And when I met you not too long after that I fell in love with you. You were more than my Aunt, you were like a best friend and sister. I love you so very much, nothing could ever change that. You brought so much happiness and light to everyone's lives. Continue watching over my uncle, I know you are. And Jonah will know he had one of the best aunts that anyone could have ever asked for. My heart is broken that I won't be able to hug you or talk to you again. I love you, always will.

My heart aches for your loss, Brian. I only knew you and Christine through emails at the News-Journal, but Christine just handled everything so perfectly, if I needed anything. Heaven is so much more beautiful now, with her and you two will join again some day. You were both so lucky to have found and loved each other. God Bless you and your families.

Christine, getting in touch with some of my out-of-state family via the internet also gave me the privilege of getting to know you a little as well. It truly saddens me to know that you're gone. My sympathies to all who have been touched by this tragic loss.

September 14, 2010

Beanie - our hearts are broken - our lives are empty... we miss you more than you will ever now! Your smile was warming; your laughter contagious. You may be gone, but, you will NEVER be forgotton. Just last night, the sky was the most beautiful sky I have ever seen - reds, pinks, yellows - I know in my heart that it was you painting a picture in heaven to let us know that you are ok, that you are at peace, to show your love to Brian, your family, and friends. So many people are grieving right now - it's still so unreal to us - but, our thoughts and memories of you will carry us through each day.
RIP Beanie - we miss you and love you so much!

Tracey, Mike, Amanda, Rachel Morison

Ever since the first time I laid eyes on Christine and Lisa I was absolutely shocked they were not sisters. Christine was a beautiful person, I only wish that she had more time to experience and grace the world with her presence. She will be greatly missed. Every time I make a Chai or grab a pumpkin loaf I'll think of you Christine, and how lucky you and your mom are to have been blessed with each others friendship. Everybody has a mother but most people don't have a best friend whose their mom <3

I prayed for her the whole time they were trying to save her life I'm so very sorry she did not make it your family will be in our prayers. God bless you and keep you safe in his arms right now.
