Tom: "Is there anything you would want to say to the people that come to your service, your friends, your family from near and far? What would you want to say to those people?"

"Christine: How much I appreciate them, for coming so far and that they are so dear. What great friends they are...well, that they would...know how much I am grateful for them and how much I love each of them...and...I can't thank them enough...and that they have been the joy of my life. They have given me the gift of their love and have shown me the face of God in a way that I never, ever dreamed I would ever be able to see or experience this side of heaven. So thank you, thank you to each of them...and that they have come and honored me with the gift of their presence."
