Dear Mary and Manuel, We didn’t know your daughter Christine, but we read that she was an exemplary contributor to her community. We’re just so very sorry for your loss and your pain. We hope your faith will carry you through this tragic time.
Mary and Manuel, the loss of a child is incomprehensible to most of us and we find ourselves lost for words. Please know if there is anything we can do as you walk this sad journey, you’ve only to ask. Our hearts are with you. John and Shauna
Dearest Christine my friend. You were loved and will be missed.
Mary and Manual. Oh, her beautiful smile, that lovely hair, and more than anything, her wonderful disposition. You do not expect that one of your babies will precede you. I am grieving for you both, and for beautiful Christine’ leaving so before her time.
