In loving memory of beautiful Aunty Christine. ❤️🕊️

I read a quote that said, “One hour in heaven is 10 years on earth.” It brings comfort knowing that one day, we will meet our loved ones again in the morning of eternity, where there is no more pain, sadness or goodbye. Until then, we carry them in our hearts forever.

Sending all my love, strength and prayers to Uncle Rodney, the girls and their families during this incredibly difficult time. I know how death feels and how deeply it breaks us, leaving a pain that words can never truly explain. 

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. May Aunty Christine rest peacefully in heaven, surrounded by love, and may you find comfort in knowing that you will meet again one beautiful morning.

Sending you all the biggest hugs and so much love. ❤️‍🩹🙏🕊️

Lots of love,
Juvia, Regina, Aunty Otti (in heaven), Kern and Liana

Today we say goodbye to a dear family friend who was more than just a friend — you were a part of our family.

You will always be remembered for the kindness, warmth, love, and beautiful memories you shared with us over the years. It is difficult to find the right words to express the sadness of losing someone so special.

You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts. Your memories will live on forever.

In Loving Memory of Aunt Christine

Some people leave a lasting impression not through grand gestures, but through the warmth, kindness and love they bring into the lives of those around them. Aunt Christine was one of those special people.

She was a loving wife ,a devoted mother to her three daughters, and a wonderful grandmother who always made time for her grandchildren. She had a warmth that made people feel welcome, a generous heart, and a gift for bringing family together. Her kindness and the simple pleasure of being in her company are memories that will stay with us.

Aunt Christine was gentle, approachable and calm by nature. She had a way of making people feel comfortable, and she shared her love without ever needing to make a fuss about it.
 She held a very special place in both our hearts. We loved her dearly, and we will miss her more than words can express.

Our thoughts are with Uncle Rodney, her daughters, her grandchildren and all those who were fortunate enough to have shared in her life.

Rest peacefully, Aunt Christine. Thank you for the love, warmth and memories you leave behind. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Godspeed 
Estella and Andrew

Our Dear Christine was such a beautiful person, a woman of deep faith who loved the Lord and lived with such grace.

The love she gave her family was an inspiration to those around. A wonderful wife, mother, grandma and lovely friend. 

I will dearly miss our phone calls, our messages, and those little moments of connection. It is hard to say goodbye, but I take comfort in knowing that you are now resting in the loving arms of our Lord.

May God bring comfort and strength to your beloved husband, children, and grandchildren.

Until we meet again in His heavenly kingdom, you will always hold a special place in my heart.

We are grateful for her love and cherish our memories together. She will always be close to our hearts.

Dearest Aunty ,We say goodbye to a truly beautiful soul, we are  broken knowing you are no longer with us. You were more than someone we loved,you were a bright light in our lives. Your kindness, love,warmth,smile and gentle spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know you. You had a way of making us feel very special, loved, welcomed, and that is a gift very  few loving people like you have. 
The memories we shared,the fun we had,and laughter our family shared when our families met in Canada will always stay with us forever. Your smile could brighten the darkest days, your laughter brought joy to every room, and your love made life richer for all of us. Though words cannot express the pain of losing you, they also cannot fully capture how grateful we are to have had you in our lives.
While  we celebrate the incredible person you were and the countless lives you touched. Your love, compassion, and strength will continue to live on through all of us. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts.
Rest peacefully aunty you will always be remembered ,surely you will be deeply missed, you will be forever loved, and never forgotten. Until we meet again, you will remain a blessing and your spirit will continue to guide us every day. ❤️Love Michelle, Denver, Ethan, Natalie and Gabriella

Aunt will always be a fond part of my life and  I will always cherish my moments with Aunt.

Never Forgotten...Rest in Peace My Aunt.
