Her quick wit, and sense of humor will for sure be missed. Keeping you all in our thoughts, and just know we send along our sincerest condolences on her passing.

    You were a second mom to me. The girls are like sister’s. I spent more times at your house growing up than mine. Even when I wasn’t supposed to be there.lol. You were a strong and tough lady but deep down a softy who would do anything for anyone. You’re no longer suffering. Rest in peace ma. Love always, Larry

    I can’t find the words to say how much I will miss you and your larger than life personality. I’m glad you can rest peacefully now. Love you Aunt Christine.

    No matter how old we get, we still need our mothers, even though she has passed to the other side, I truly believe that she will continue to watch over you from heaven. I know she was the Matriarch of your family, she wasa good cook, always trying to feed me when I would come over or when I seen her at bingo, she was funny, strong, and didn’t sugar coat anything..lol she had a loving heart with her own way of showing it. I have many memories that include your mom. From a little girl to a grown woman. She will be missed dearly. Also, remember that I am here for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

    Tom, Guy and I are so sorry to hear this. Chris was always so full of life. Loved going to bingo with her. She will be missed. If there is anything we can do please feel free to call on us.

    Prayers for all of you.

    I am so very sorry to hear of Christine’s passing. She always put up with me as I practically lived at her house. She always treated me as own of her own. Taking me on trips and out to eat. I remember when we went to Florida we stopped at every single Crackle Barrel on the way down and back up home. She loved Crackle Barrel. She always made me laugh and made me feel at home. I will never forget her generosity. She will be missed by so many! Love you all ❤️
