Re: Rembering our amazing Christine ~ web site founder
Christine was Amazing - and so kind, truly a caring lady.
It is a sad day for us.
I will never forget I had heard about Christine (I was not yet a member on the site.) I reached out and called her at home. I was newly dx. & Christine was the very first one to encourage me to fight for herceptin. Not to take no for an answer.
As many of you know Christine had lived in New Jersey prior to moving to Ca. She insisted I contact her dr. who may be able to help me.
Christine made a strong first impression for me. She had plenty of conviction to fight this disease. Always confident and positive. For a newly dx. person it was wonderful to receive her encouragement.
Joe & Christine made a miracle occur with this site.
They left a special legacy. God Bless them.
