Dear family...We were so sorry to hear of Christine's passing. Liz, thank you so much for keeping us informed. I will always remember her luncheons with myself and other retired teachers in the area at the Glen Iris Inn. We celebrated together, with her, a job we all loved, regardless of where we taught. She loved good food, good company and a good joke. That's how I will remember her. Joyce

We are sorry for your loss. She sat next to us at mass in Silver Springs. She was always interested in our grandchildren and explained how she loved children having taught school several years. We live on Abbott Rd. and went past her home many times on our way to Strykersville. She was a wonderful person and I always looked forward to seeing her at Sat. masses. We are sorry for your loss. May peace be with you.
