Gail and the Malish family,
My condolences on the loss of your Mom. I hope you have some time together to cherish the memories and make new ones. She leaves a great legacy in each of you. Prayers to you all.
I will always remember Aunt Christine's smile and laughter. I always thought she was very lovely -- I remember she used to wear a flower in her hair, which I thought was the height of fashion! She was one of my favorite aunts.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
I know I speak for my mother and brothers which I say you have our deepest sympathies.
