Sarah & Colin,
Sorry to hear of Chri’s passing. I met Chris when she was about 10 yrs. old. She was much younger than me so we were’t close at that time but as she grew up & I got to know her better.
I really liked her. I enjoyed her lessons in Relief Society & her Fun Sense of Humor. Chris always had such Happy Smiles & was a Very Friendly Personality! She was great in plays & reciting poetry. She made it all come Alive!! I hated to see her in a home all these years & I Miss Eiko Moyer because she always kept me posted on updates about Christine, after we moved away. I pray you will be Blessed & Uplifted with God’s Most Choice Blessings throughout this time of loss!
