And Christine Short, her 12 Beloved grandchildren, and to many nieces, nephews and cousins, and family to mention but, were loved all the same.
Leaving this world as a loving mother, amazing grandmother, and a wonderful friend. She will be greatly missed by everybody that knew her and all lives that she has touched.
