	I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Christine 's passing. She recently called my cousin, Ottie and ask about me said she would love to talk to me. Ott gave me her phone no. and said, Call Aunt Christine. Ott was surprised to hear from her and was glad she got a chance to talk to her. I picked up the phone to call her but didn\'t think it was a good time to call so was going to call her later , then Ott called me and was shocked to see of her death in the paper. In recent years, Aunt Christine always sent me a card on my birthday and it was so nice of her and we kept in touch at Christimas time with cards. She had been in my thoughts so strongly lately . How I regret I didn\'t call her. I have moved to Ohio and was going to let her know I had moved. I know she had been ill off and on according to what she told Ott. We all are going to miss her greatly. She was a caring and kind person and always made me feel special when I was a little child. Peace be with her. We love you Aunt Christine. Love, Phyllis

	I want to send my condolences to Christine's family. We always enjoyed seeing her at the clinic and will miss her bright smile. She tried so hard to be well and do everything we suggested to her. However, I could see at her last visit how tired and weak she had become. She must have been quite a lady and I am sure you all have many fond memories.

Jack Wright, M.D.
