I will miss Christine’s laugh and her big heart! When Donna and I were children, Christine and her mother lived next door to my family in Creedmoor. When my parents had a “date night”, Christine would “babysit” Donna and me. She was a part of our family. Even when she moved about 2 miles away, she came over. When Daddy had his knee replacement surgery in 1985, Christine spent the nights with me for about 3 weeks. I am glad that Donna helped Christine especially in her last few weeks,
