Welcome to Celebrating Christine

Dear Family, Friends and Loved Ones~

This is the first post on our new blog spot that will serve to connect us all as we celebrate our beloved Christine Marion Kelly Smith and help her on her journey. We ask that you help us to forward this blogspot to all who wish to know of Christine's progress.

We are seeking any photos for a picture tribute to our incredibly strong and loving and vibrant Christine. Any notes or sentiments you would like to share with Chris can be shared here. We will keep her posted on all well wishes that come through to her as they will surely bring her radiant smile and will please her greatly.

She continues to remain strong in spirit and is loving and nurturing to all who visit. She has blessed us all by letting us know that she is ready to join her sister, Mary Elizabeth, and her Mother, Johanne M. Kelly. She is mostly very comfortable now that she is at St. Anthony's Hospice House in South St. Louis County. This hospice home is truly staffed by angels and is a surprisingly wonderful place. Now that Chris is more comfortable, we can all focus on enjoying every moment we have with her.

Please know that Michael, June, Elizabeth, Warren and Christine's entire family, and of course Christine herself, are all very grateful for the outstanding show of support and love surrounding us at this time. Please also know that Christine's smiles are radiant and fortifying and she is generous with them!

Love to all~

Bridget on behalf of Chris, the Smiths and the Kelly's
