We will miss Christine at our family gatherings. She was a person who loved beauty and thoughtfulness, who knew how to appreciate and treasure life. She brought grace with her, wherever she was. I am so glad our paths crossed through our children's marriage.

Things I remember and admire about Christine. Her unwavering commitment to internationalism and peace. Her independence and determination to make the best of things. Her grace and beauty. I once joked with her that she brought "class" to our family, but I really meant it and grew to truly love her.
