My sincere condolences to her extended family. Christine was a wonderful outgoing person. The last two years that we shared together were extremely happy times for two seniors past their prime.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I met your mother at a Weight Watcher's meeting and while we were talking we discovered she knew my mother from Robinson Thread. I am now a retired hairdresser but when I was working I came in and saw a Mrs. Alcorn in my column,it didn't ring a bell but when she came walking through the door with her big smile I was happy to see it was her. After I left work I was shopping at ACMoore and bumped into her. She always had a big smile on her face. I will always remember her and more so when I wear the scarf she made me many Christmases ago. God Bless Her and may she Rest in Peace.
