Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am for your loss. Our families have been friends for so many years. Nothing I can say is going to make this feel any better, but I do want to leave you with a scriptural thought. Job 14:14 & 15 – “If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.” Yes, Christine’s relief has come and we can take comfort knowing God will call those who have passed away to be in His Kingdom. Much love to all of you. May God strengthen your family with love and peace.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you on the loss of Chris. So many wonderful memories growing up around the corner from the Clear Girls over the years. Chris always had a smile on her face and such a pleasant personality and was so kind, I know you will miss her very much. I take refuge in the thought that she is no longer suffering and is a wonderful addition as another angel in heaven. Cling tight to the many wonderful memories that you have of her and as you hear memories from others who have known her. Hugs and prayers to you all.
Tami Sanderson Richardson and family and my Mom Betty Sanderson
