To Mike and Family,
So very sorry to hear of Christine's passing. I enjoyed working with her in several plays, including Father of the Bride at the Ingersoll, and several in Ankeny. We will miss her.

Amy, Dave, Michael, and family- I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Christine. She was a great woman and I really enjoyed our time together carpooling to and from work. I'll always remember the conversations we shared about things at work, Amy, and Christine's horse. She will definitely be missed.
I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending strength your way to help you get through this difficult time.
