Dear Angela, Melanie and families- your Mum was such a caring person and I will never forget her love and devotion to Peter- I can hear her wonderful cheeky chuckle and will never forget her kindness- she really did make a difference and please know that I will miss her. I’m sad that I’m unable to be there tomorrow as I’m overseas, but I will be with you all in spirit.

I did write on this page the other day but wondered if it's disappeared into cyberspace :-? Anyway- if it pops up, all good. My deepest love to you all - especially Angela and Melanie- it's tough for us to comprehend so I can only imagine how it is for you two- we all have a place for Christine whenever she popped into our lives- her infectious and cheeky giggle, to the banter between her and Peter - we will always remember the wonderful care she gave Peter - they were just the perfect pair . I am sitting here at my computer in Vancouver thinking of you all and sending positive energy to you as the days ahead will be tough - she won't be forgotten that's for sure - gone way too soon. RIP Christine and I for one will miss you x
