Christine was a devoted and loving wife and mother, an exceptional Nanna, Great-Nanna, loyal sister, doting daughter, aunt extraordinaire and dear friend to all those who knew her. Her distinctive laugh and fabulous sense of humour resonate with anyone who had the pleasure of her company. All who entered her home felt welcome and were (very) well fed, especially the pets. Christine had a way with animals and humans alike, and none could deny her warming presence. Always working side-by-side with her husband and soul mate Dale, she was the perfect role model for devotion and love in action. Fiercely loyal and strong-willed, Christine taught the women in her life to always fight for what they wanted and was there to help whenever they needed a kind word, an encouraging hug, or even the odd homework assignment. To all who knew her, Christine was an inspiration and a guiding light. We are so lucky to have had her in our lives, and her legacy lives on through her daughters, granddaughters, and all generations to come. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Georgetown Bread Basket would be appreciated.

Shane, There's a family who misses you sadly, in a home where you used to be A family who wanted to keep you, but God willed it not to be, We did not know that evening what sorrow the next day would bring The bitter grief, the shock severe, to part with our son whom we loved so dear You bid no one a last farewell, no chance to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why, God gave us strength and courage to face that dreadful blow, But what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know When shadows of night have fallen and we are all alone, In our hearts there comes a longing, if only you could come home. We mourn for you in silence, no eyes can see us weep, But many a silent tear is shed, while others are asleep. They say that hearts don't really break, dear God that isn't true, That night that we lost you Shane, our hearts broke right in two. Wrap your arms around him Lord, and keep him in Your loving care, A few more steps, a few more years and soon we'll meet him there. Of all that life has given us, and all that's left to do We will never know a greater gift, than the years we shared with you.
