I am so sorry to hear of Christine's passing. I first knew her as Adam's mom when he was in my class. I then had the pleasure of knowing her as a teaching colleague. My heartfelt condolences and thoughts for her family at this difficult time.

Christine is now in the hands of the One who has loved her perfectly from before her birth. She has gone on ahead and is waiting for her loved ones to there be reunited in eternal joy.

I will miss seeing her smiling face at Mass and hearing her singing in the choir. Her joy at Mass always made me feel warm inside and all of us at St. Mark shall miss her dearly.

May God bless her soul and may our mother the Blessed Virgin Mary pray for her and her family.

Our family is so sad to learn of Christine's passing. We didn't know her well, but were neighbors to her dad and loved talking with her whenever she came to see him. What an energetic, loving, graceful, devoted woman she was. Our hearts and prayers are with the family.

Christine was the most loving Grandma, Nana as she liked to be called.The light of her life.. Rylan. We will never let Rylan forget her wonderful Nana and will keep her memory alive always and she will always be in our hearts. What a gracious, warm nuturing person who loved her famiy unconditionally.I know I have said it frequently but if love would have kept her alive she would have lived forever.. Thank you Christine for everything you did for your/our beautiful Grandbaby especially all the time you spent with her-countless hrs. reading to Rylan and singing to her and sharing holding her in your loving arms. I only wish you could have seen how Rylan kisses your face when she see your picture. She is so blessed to have you.a part of her.Christine loved to tell me.. "Rylan has my little feet and her hair is the color of mine when I was little.." Christine.. she has your smile and your joy, and love of books and spirit....a little angel who loves her Nana.

I'm so very sad to learn that Christine lost her valiant attempt to survive a brutal cancer.

Our shared history went way back to Cordell Hull junior high. And we sang together at Shorecrest and the UW.

A huge loss to all who knew her. May Christine's memory be for a blessing.
