"I was so shocked and sad to hear of Christine's passing. I have many high school memories of Christine and adored her. We actually had been in touch not long ago realizing that we did not live far from each other. While starting to plan our 20th reunion I heard of the tragedy and am again just so sad. Please accept my deepest sympathy and may all your loving memories of Christine help ease some of your pain during this very difficult time."
