I think of you often and remember the many hours of playing music together. I know Angels are dancing to your music

You are remembered my friend.

I knew Christine from elementary school through High School. She accompanied our High School Chorale and mixed ensemble. She was always on top of the music. I remember reading about the fire she suffered. I am glad that she continued to give her gift of music. I am saddened at her passing. This is a loss for all of us who knew her. Many her memory be eternal. †

Spent many hours practicing with our trio in Orlando-Chris

on piano, our drummer, and me singing. We lived in the same apartment building. Unfortunately, I remember the events of her horrendous "accident" very differently, but never faulted Chris in blocking the truth. She came to stay with my husband and I about 9 months after the fire, unable to function in any daily activities by herself. She and our Irish Setter, Samantha, walked to increased mobility and I remember her laughing on "who was walking who"! So courageous and maybe a little bullheaded! We were so young-and she was so accepting (or put on a big front!).

Shawn, you and your mom came to the house on a couple of occasions to visit with my son who is a little younger than you.

I'm sorry we lost touch, but always in the back of my mind. I ran across your book today and with the help of a google search, disappointingly found you had passed

I know you are playing piano for all the Angels to dance and sing! I wish you peace and relish in the thought you are pain free.

I remember many nights when Shawn and I talked on the phone to the early hours of the morning and listening to her play in the background...because she would forget the time when she played. She was a unique individual with many talents. I will remember her always. I have shared her story many times with my high school special education students. She may be gone but her memory will live on for all those that know her story.

I was so saddened to learn of Christie's passing. Christie and I had 10 years of friendship. I will remember and cherish all of the times I would sit on her bed (while we ate Klondike bars) and chatting like we were having a slumber party. She always had a listening ear and would give me advice and nuture me when needed. She always loved giving gifts at Christmas-time. One year I would bring all the gifts to my house and wrap for her, then take back to her. Because we lived a distance apart we did lose communication, but she was always in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss her but will know that she is free from pain.

I knew Christy for about ten years as a fellow musician. I was happy to spend last Christmas with her and I had been helping her in the last month since she had no home health person. She spoke of how much she loved a missed her children and wanted to see the grandchildren. Also talked of her brother and sister. Just know she loved you all. She was look forward to being in heaven, so do not be sad for her.

My memories of Christine relate to her helping out as organist-pianist at the

West Branch United Methodist Church where I have directed choir for many years. I can't even remember the year(s) but I do remember the quality of her

musicianship and the amazement that her injury didn't seem to deter her in

any way. What respect we had. I was saddened to open the PC and see the obituary. I pray for the comfort of those close to her. Dale

Another memory of Chris: Her family always came first and she made many friends and would do what ever she could to to help them when they needed help. She would give her heart and soul to them. SHe was a very caring, giving, and loveing woman. She always had the knack of listen when someone needed to talk to someone about their troubles. She could give you ideas to take another look at things and make the best of what you have. You would always leave with a smile and knowing you weren't alone.That was kore than one more memory, but these are the things I will cherish about her. Terri Lee (Mellecker) Doehrmann

To The Christine Humphries Family,

I remember when Chris Babysat my Roommate's Daughter when we lived in Bon Aire Moblie Home Court in Iowa City. SHe also played and sang at my roommate's wedding. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. I can't remember the song she sang, but her voice was awesome and she paly the piano and organ very well. I remember her always playing the piano when I would come and pick up Jolene. I can't be with you tomorrow, but know you are in my thoughts and prayers. SHe will always be with you in your hearts, memories, sipirts, and thoughts. When you feel her presence say a prayer for her and you. You do that because you both thinking of each other at the same time. May God Bless you and you family and help you through the days ahead. Sorry to hear about you Mother, Grandmother, and sister. SHe will watching us from heaven. Take Care.

I worked at Younkers when it was at the Old Capitol Mall. I worked there 7 years. I remember waiting on her when I worked in customer service. A friend I worked with knew her and told me her story. I didn't know she was from Cocoa, FL which is where I now live. I didn't really her well but I always enjoyed talking to her when she came into the store. I am so sorry for your loss.
