Christine was a perfect Aunty to my two children and a perfect sister-in-law to both me & my wife. The holidays that our two families shared together will always be remembered with happiness. The impromptu Saturday nights, that always started as a half hour visit and usually lasted until the not-so-small hours of Sunday morning, were a wonderful example of how, with Christine, time could fly by just talking, listening to music and enjoying ourselves. The courage and determination shown by Christine has been an inspiration to all those who knew and loved her. I and my family consider ourselves honoured and privileged to have known her and our lives are much the poorer for her passing. She will be greatly missed.
