Christine, also known as "Auntie Awesome," absolutely adored her nieces and nephews! She never missed an opportunity to celebrate them. When a birthday came around, she never forgot to give them a call and wish them a happy day--often accompanied by her singing Happy Birthday!

She also loved to give birthday gifts! Whatever the gift was, you could almost always be sure that there would be a pack of lifesavers included in the bag. Especially once it became harder to find lifesavers, she would stock up on them during Christmas time to make sure she would have enough throughout the year. And should she not be lucky enough to find sufficient, jelly beans were an acceptable runner up!
