As young women raising our children, as neighbors,Christine and I spent a lot of time together.Through the years, as our lives took different paths, we didn't get to visit very much,but occasional phone calls allowed us to catch up. I'll always remember how we talked about high school where Christine was a cheer leader. And I have never fried yellow squash, without remembering the many lunches we shared where she served those delicious fried squash. Bless the children and grands and greats of a lady who had a very kind heart. May our Lords peace and comfort sustain you.

An old friend, Billie

I met Mrs. Flynn through work, and I am shocked to hear that Sparky passed away shortly after his caretaker. It was my rare privilege to take Sparky to the vet to be neutered........and he did NOT take it well. We also had him groomed at the same time. He was sooooo upset about his haircut, too. It was a day I will never forget. No doubt, Mrs. Flynn loved her Sparky.

I'm sorry to hear of Christine's passing. I met her when I first moved to Wilmington in the early 90's and talked with her numerous times while walking one of my dogs by her house in the neighborhood. She was always friendly and caring. My thoughts to her family.
