She will be sadly missed by friends and staff of Wayoata School and Cantebury Park Daycare. A special thank you to Robyn, Sharon and Judy for their guidance through school and Diana at daycare. A special thank you to the staff of CH 5, PICU, Drs. E. and G. McDougall and the many doctors who attended to her over the past three months at Childrens Hospital. Her time was a happy one, thanks to them, (as long as they didnt have a white coat). A special thanks to the Real Care sitters for their 24 hour care during Christines stay in the hospital. Christine enjoyed Barney, Teletubbies, watching football, and dancing to Shania and Paul Brandt. She loved her milk, chocolate pudding and peanut butter. Mom believes Christine had a purpose, and that purpose was to educate. Christine will want all of us to spread the word to be patient when angered even with a loved one and never to allow another child to go through the challenges she faced with courage, strength and perseverance. Mom knows she will have forgiven the two second mistake even if we have not. She will always be wanting us to forgive but not forget. Please do not allow this to happen to anyone else and spread the word for her. She never gave up, her heart did. We love you Chrissy.
