Christine was like a wall of blossoms. Each flower identical, every leaf and petal disturbingly exact. Vibrant and colorful, yet strong and powerful. Every petal a memory of life, memories that will never die.



We will miss you so much Christine.

I go to JFK and I went to Argyle. I didn't get to know Christine that well, but I'm glad I got to know her some. In the eighth grade I changed schools, and went to Argyle. Christine was really nice to me. She was like the first person I met. We had english together. She probably didnt know that even the little bit of time we got to know each other really meant a lot. She had a major impact I know on many people. Even words in passing sometimes mean the world. Her attitude and her personality. We are all mourning her death, but I beleive that I will see her again so there is also Joy. (Matt, 5:4-Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.)

Christine was always the light that swallowed up all of the shadows. She had the rare gift of touching every person who ever had the pleasure of meeting her. She was absolutely beautiful in every possible way- to say that she will be missed by her friends and family is an understatement. Heaven must have really missed its sweetest angel to take her from us so soon. I miss you Christine, your friendship really did mean the world to me.
