Oh, Christine--I can't believe you are gone so soon.
Dear Family, Christine became a great supporter and a dear friend over the nearly 20 years we knew each other. In our work at Mobil, and later with the NJ Youth Symphony, we tried a lot of things, succeeded at some, laughed and cried, railed and plotted, led and followed--each other and dear colleagues in both organizations. I wish you could have seen how she empathetically listened to my tales of life after the oil business, and then smoothly recruited me for pro bono work and then Board membership for NJYS!
She was a brilliant scientist, a clear thinker, and a lot of fun. As her family, you have been blessed by her life more than the rest of us, because she always had you first in her heart. Todd and I have only love and sympathy for you at this time.
