Dear Christina, I started baking Christmas ginger cookies tonight, when I was struck by a memory of you... your warm , artistic personality was so strongly sensed, I decided quickly to google your name, hoping to see your latest creations, only to find the heartache of your obituary . Oh, christina, if only you knew what an influence you were and ARE still on everything I try to make. You are a giant ,still. You live on.
Love always, your long lost friend,
Lise
I am so verry sorry to know of your loss.
Dear Ed, Alexander, and Isabella, We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your wife and mother, Christina. I, Becky, will always remember the times we spent talking outside of Lowell as we waited for our sons to emerge from Kindergarten. She truly was one of the most kind and gentle women I knew. She had a quiet presence about her that put people at ease. I know she will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all through this difficult time. I know her presence will be felt often through the passing years, just as I have felt the presence of my father after his passing 2 years ago. I hope it will bring great comfort to all of you. Sincerely, Becky Ames and family
I’m sure our PV community of neighbors are feeling this loss. As my sister, Ann appreciated, more than any in our family, a dear friendship that she kept kindled throughout the decades. Christina was every bit the embodiment of an angelic being. Growing up with her and her large and interesting family was a unique contribution to my youth. I really enjoyed the visit I was able to make with Ann to Christina’s home in SLC some years ago to enjoy her paintings, uniquely decorated home and her warmth and beauty. My heart goes out to her husband and children.
