I am so sorry to hear of Christine's passing. I was so fond of her and Don when I go to know them in Cheshire CT. She and I were part of a "book tour" of sorts -- at our Church and Library :) -- as we had books published near the same time. Unfortunately, we fell out of touch a while after she moved to Morgantown. I'd always meant to come see her on my "next trip" to Morgantown. (That is my home town.) But two trips I planned were cancelled for (my) health reasons. My one trip back of late was for a quick down and back for the funeral of a dear friend of ours, Richard Sutter. I'd always hoped that she and Richard's wife, Kathleen, might meet as I knew they'd enjoy each other. I don't know if they ever did.
Although it has been such a long time, nothing has dimmed my warm affection for Christine. To me, she was one of those people who both impressed and was easy to be with. Her stories were so entertaining and delivered with such a delightful mix of sincerity and humor.
My condolences for your loss of such a dear and wonderful person.
