A number of years back we were all stuck for a place to stay while attending a family members wedding in New Ross. In desperation we reached out to Christine. With absolutely no hesitation and with open doors and arms the lot of us were welcomed by her. This despite the fact that there were Cape Bretoners amongst the crew of hooligans. She will always be remembered as the most generous and charming Goodwill Ambassador of New Ross.
Our sincere condolences go to her family!
Mike and Marilyn Lynch and family

Christine was a kind and caring person . She greeted you with her wonderful smile , her concern for others was genuine and heartfelt and her laugh infectious. Her family was the most important part of her life and she showered them with love , encouragement , comfort and support. When Chris entered the picture … the joy , the happiness and love they shared was evident. We were so lucky to have Christine as a friend. Gather all those great memories close to your heart and embrace them on the good days as well as the difficult days going forward with your lives .

A tremendous loss for all. I have not been able to find the words that can summarize my feelings and still cannot.
I have cherished each moment from the time we met.
The humor, compassion, love and intelligence was second to none. You were unwittingly the Family Matriarch for more than one family. Just crushed without you to the point that I waited to try to share.
" May the sound of her laughter echo forever within your hearts"
Much love and my deepest sympathies
Forever yours, Ann

Rustin, Whitney, Matthew and families…
When I think of your mother,I first remember the bubbly little girl in the grade 2 classroom when I practice taught in New Ross. Later when I came back home to teach, I would occasionally see her when on duty…and that bubble was always there. Christine brought joy wherever she went. At parent teacher nights or whenever she chaperoned class trips she would always be smiling. She loved you children. Keep all your memories of her close to your heart and she will always be with you…with that warm smile.

Rustin, Whitney and Matthew,
It has been my absolute honour and pleasure to have known your Mom through many years because of you three. Always a smile, always a kind and fun conversation and always an inquiry about me and mine. As you know, you made her very proud and she was a steadfast and loving Mother! I am so sorry that you will not see her every day BUT you will forever have her in your hearts and she will always play an important role in your lives.

I will always fondly remember the trips to New Ross with my parents. We would stay with Ivan and Faye and I would hang out with Chris. Then when Christine and Faye came to BC, Faye stayed with Mom and Dad in Chilliwack and Chris stayed with my family and I in Hope. We took Chris for a drive up thru the Fraser Canyon over to the sunny Okanagan then home via the Coquihalla Hwy aka Highway Thru Hell. It was a awesome week.
My only regret was Larry and I never made it to Nova Scotia to visit Christine and family…but we did keep in touch via Facebook. I never told her how much it meant to me when Dad was sick and Chris, Blake & Ann, Laird and Maureen and I were all in contact you all rocked.
My love to Rustin and the girls, Whitney and the boys, Matthew, and Chris. Also my love to Michael, Laird, Blake and to the rest of the family. She is at peace.
Love Kelly
