"Wonderful, and full of LIFE!!!! I met Christine over the phone, while Liz and I were working at the DoubleTree Hotel, Liz was 19 at the time, and of course (MOM) Christine wanted to check, and make sure Liz was fine...so we talked almost everyday. HAHA without Liz knowing...until later....Well to make a long story short I became friends with Christine, and we clicked, Who know that Doug and I would be taking a trip to GA, House, and cabin, we were invited with open arms to stay at there house. OH, and the spread of food when we got there YUM..., on our vacation.....we kept in touch ever since!!! Christine was just a WONDERFUL, warm, caring, cute lady!!! A ball of fire!!!!!!!!!! xo may you rest in peace...I MISS YOU! "
"Many condolences to Greg and all of Christine's family. Although Christine has not worked with Travelport for very long, she fitted right into our team very quickly. Although Christine and I worked on opposite shifts, and so I did not get to work with her very much. It was always a pleasure to see Christine when she arrived in the morning to start her shift. She had such a sunny disposition and was such a positive person to work with. I know she will be missed by so many people. She was a blessing to all."
"I met Christine in 1992 where we worked together at IHG. She was always terrific to work with and never too busy for me. She also had a wonderful way of telling you things and the stories. Sometimes, after she told you something, you would be a little lost. Should I laugh or be serious? But then I would see the start of a smile and then I could laugh with her. I will miss her and not forget her. On a lighter note, she made great perogies and would bring me some. I am sorry for the loss, not only for the family, but for all of us who knew her and enjoyed her so much......."
"Rest in PeaceIt was a pleasure knowing you. I pray your family will find peace in all of their wonderful memories of you. REST IN PEACE!!!!!"
"My Sweet Polish FriendI first met Christine at our neighborhood swimming pool. I noticed her accent and asked the usual question, "Where are you from?" "Poland!", she replied. I liked her right away. We talked about a lot of things. We talked about my polish Mother and our childhood and our children and how much we loved them. She was such a proud momma and she loved being a mom and a grandmother. We spoke about being grandparents and I realized that when I thought about that, that we've been friends for some time now. Christine was a devoted wife and mom and gramdmom she loved life and her family was everything to her. I could tell you that about Christine when I first met her so many years ago. For 16 years as far as I can count, maybe 18 years Christine blessed our family every Christmas Eve with homemade Pierogies. Ever since I told her how much I missed my Moms authentic polish cooking that first time we met, she made it a point to deliver me those goodies every year! She was a devoted friend too. I will miss you Christine! I will miss seeing you walk your precious dogs every day and stopping to talk or just that beautiful smile as you waved hello as we drove through the neighborhood. I will miss your delicious Pierogies but no where near as much as I will miss you. Say hello to Mom in heaven and save me a seat at the table so I can eat authentic polish food with two of my favorite and deeply loved people. I love you, Janine"

"Into his hands....I only got to meet Ms Christine once at a company Christmas party as I work with Greg. But I heard so much about her thru her loving husband. The minute Greg talked about her you just could see and feel how he adored her. I am so sorry for the loss for this family and pray for understanding and peace in this terrible situation. Lord please restore this family and give them peace as you take Christine home into your hands and arms. Sandy"
