The family of Anna Christine Bain my sweet Aunt will be deeply missed by Philip and Me! Christine was a lovely lady who loved everyone she met! A Godly lady who had so much Faith and love in her heart! Philip and I had many wonderful times with Christine! She will be truly missed! My prayers are with her family!
Aunt Christine stayed in touch with me and my brothers over the years . She was truly a Lady and role model for me. I regret that we only saw each other a few times but we talked on the phone. Shes in Heaven now and surrounded by her family as she was here on earth.I hope that knowledge helps her family during this time.
So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers!
