A beautiful tribute for a beautiful soul. I’m so grateful to have known her and experience her positive, fun loving spirit. We will miss you dear friend. ❤️🤘🎸
Christine has been a part of our lives for 2 decades. Dave and I sang at her wedding, we served the environmental education community through the leadership at the Mountain Park Environmental Center and she was a part of the Green Women Leadership Program. I love Christine and always will. She left too soon.
"Ripple"--my father-in-law's favorite song from his many-long-years Church guitar group. I sang it at his funeral. Like Christine, he loved the outdoors, was an avid skier, sailor and marathon runner. Where do all these people go when they die? Nobody can really claim to know, I suppose, but a part of them is always with us as long as we are around to hold the memories. I hope your friend was at peace when she passed.
That mysterious Ripple song touches many of us. Thanks for the recount of your Outdoor Loving FIL...I hope he's riding the waves somewhere. If so, Christine will find him I am certain.
Ripple is my favorite Dead song - lyrically and musically it is just a sweet song. Ah, the mystery of death - I've always appreciated Jackson's song - typical of his lyrics, they are so well put together.
Oh Dave, I can feel your heart in this post. When we arrive at a certain age, I think we get closer to examining the growth there is within another’s death. I am currently reading ‘briefly, perfectly, human’ by Alua Arthur, a well known death doula. So good for my heart as I navigate my mother’s passing. Sending you and Helene so much love.
What a beautiful tribute to Christine, Dave! I am so sorry that she's gone to whatever is next, and I send empathy and hugs your way. Be extra-kind to yourself as you absorb her loss.
It does that. And every time we lose someone we love, it's different. It's a time to be gentle with ourselves and not brush off the grief and sense of loss. Blessings to you and Helene both.
Oh Dave and Helene … I am so saddened by this loss. Gone too soon. Such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul. Forever in our hearts, Christine. 💔❤️💔
Beautiful tribute, Dave. I knew her briefly as Green woman and it was clear how passionate she was about nature and sharing it with others. I will remember her beautiful smile. Good luck on your journey, Christine.
Christine did have a wonderful smile - she was usually smiling. Her joy in all the things she did was such a joy and inspiration to witness. She will be deeply missed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.
And yet again the Gift of Perspective
Thank you Sally-Anne. The circle of life and death is always in motion. Hope you are both well.

Thanks for your comment dear Karen. Thinking of you mom today. She must be so proud of you.
My thoughts are with you as you navigate the passing of your Mom. Such a rite-of-passage, losing our mothers. Take care Karen.
