Betty Jean, so sorry for your loss, Christine and I were always close and I had just spoken to her on the phone a few days before she passed. My thoughts and love are with you and the family. Sorry I couldn't make it to the service but with my granddaughter I don't go much. Love Valerie Miles Hyman.

So very sad that Aunt Christine has passed.Finally found out details today at Post and Courier Obituaries. Mama called to let me know Thursday. So sorry I was unable to be with you all to celebrate the life of an amazing woman. May God hold you in his arms and comfort you as you accept her loss. She was surely welcomed with open arms of those who went before and is celebrating her new life in Heaven with that family and Jesus Christ.
