I have known Christine for many years and i am very good friends with Katherine Frazier[aunt Kitty] i know there is nothing that can help at this time, just know God had his door open and was waiting to bring her home. To Terry and Sherran you both will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. I know you will miss her every day because I still miss mine everyday and it’s been 30 years. Just a day at a time and know there is no more pain here on earth. She is healthy and in Gods hands once again.
My sincere sympathy to the family on the loss of your
dear loved one. May God truly bless you at this sad time in your lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I know she loved all people, but she adored her children of all generations most of all. Be sustained by your memories and her faith in God.
