To Uncle Gerald, Colin, Mark and Toni and families; I'm so sorry to learn of Aunt Christene's passing. Some of my proudest moments around our family are about her strength, her integrity, and her devotion to her immediate and extended family. She was a great example to a young boy growing up seeing what it meant to have a backbone and strive for seeing your family succeed. I will miss her greatly; my prayers are with you all.
Love, your nephew and cousin Dave
