Dear Irene and B.C., My most sincere sympathy on the death of your wonderful Mom, Christine. We loved her very much and her death is such a loss. We only got to see her when we came to Fl to visit my parents, Paul & Betsy Bartels, but I always made it a point to whip up a batch of my ‘famous’ salmon cakes for her! She loved them and I totally loved making them for her. She was like a second grandmother to my son, Brett, who enjoyed spending time chatting with her while my mom ran errands and did things around the house for Christine. Please know that her smile and laughter will be missed and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers are with you. With deepest sympathy
I’m Very Sorry To Read Of Ms’Israel Passing,I’ts A Shame Her Granddaughter’s Did’nt Get To See Her,They Loved Her Very Much,
Love & Prayers
It was very meaningful to be able to visit with Christine and family in Zephyrills last week. May God Bless and angels surround you.
How sorry I was to read in our local paper, Tampa Tribune, yesterday of the passing of your mother, Christine Israel. I cannot begin to express my sympathy at the passing of this great woman – I was a very young lady who graduated once upon a time from Pasco Comprehensive High School and remember your mother as one of the top women influences in my life – what devotion and testimony she had to her faith, what faith she has in everyone she met, and especially her thoughtful efforts on my behalf when I went on the graduate from college where she wrote me at least once a week telling me how proud she was of me for ‘leaving little ole Dade City, and heading off to the big city of Jacksonville to go to college – I am sure she influenced many other lives but just wanted to share my small experience and let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time – thank you
Dear Irene and Bruce,
We are so sorry for your loss and regret that we cannot be there. It is difficult to say goodby to your mother any time. We rejoice that you had her for many years and were able to be with her when she was older. We and many others will remember her as she was -a good Christian woman who was ready to meet her Maker. I’m sure He said ‘Well done’.
Love,
Rosie and Paul
Kind, Graceful, Thoughtful are just some of the memories of Christine.
Dear Irene and B.C.
We are so sorry to hear about your Mother Christines passing. She was a very dear person to us. I’m so sorry I didn’t get over to see her again. But, I know I will see her one day though. God’s comfort and peace to you and your family.
In His Love, Gordon and Paula
