Monticello, AR Tuesday, September 1, 2015 Once you had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Christine and visit with her you knew how she felt about her family and her Lord. She had a big heart, she loved so many, and so many loved her back. So thankful that I had the opportunity to know her, listen to her stories, and find my own place in her heart as she did in mine. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during the days ahead. Mrs. Christine is where she wanted to be and we will meet again.Love, Paige
