I met Mrs Christine at aPublix grocery store some months ago, she was shopping and I had just run in the store for one item but after she spoke to me and I to her we started a conversation and it went from there. I had so much fun shopping around the store with her even though I had only come in for one item .After leaving the store she and I continued our friendship over the phone. I was so saddened to learn of her passing. Though our friendship was short it was very meaningful. Sometimes it's not the quantity of time that you spend with someone but rather the quality of that time. To her family, I didn't get to meet all of you just her daughter that was in the store with her that day but she was very proud of you all. My condolences to you all and just know that I count it a blessing that I met her. May she now have the peace that surpasses all understanding. God Speed Mrs. Christine💕💕💕
I will always remember your smile and quick wit. The car rides we shared and phone calls too. You will be missed. May God always bless and keep your family. Debra Gentry and family.
