Living in Australia I had no idea you were unwell, so your passing has been a massive shock to hear this incredibly sad news.
You & John were incredibly special to Janeice and I and later Karen.
You were always so proud of your three childen Jonathan, Ester and Sarah, and quite rightly so.
Although there has not been contact for many years, I have always held you all so dear, as family, as precious and privileged to know. Thank you for all the love and kindness you have given to me over the years and I am sure you didn't stop because of lost contact. Karen and I send our biggest and lovingest hugs to you all ❤️
Thank you, Christine for being you! You were very loved and will always be so.

To my closest friend
Thank you for the 40+ years of friendship - the laughing, the crying, the sharing & exploring.
Working through the downs, & celebrating the highs of life.
You loved being a mother & grandmother, & your family has been your rock, giving you self confidence & such a zest for life.
I have so many memories - a real time line of photos of our time together.
Oh the hairstyles, the clothes (what were we thinking?) & the growing & changing families.
Lastly
There is a place in our hearts that is yours alone
A part of our lives that only you own
The tears in ours eyes can be wiped away
The love in our heart will always stay

Christine brought sunshine and laughter into every room. She was the Christmas Fairy who kept giving, looking after mum with such tenderness, patience, and loyalty. Christine was more than a niece, she was a friend, chatting with mum and caring for her in the most heartfelt way. Knowing mum had her by her side brought us comfort we can never fully put into words. Love to you all as you remember a wonderful Mum.

From Riverton to Waiheke, what a fantastic journey for the Fab4
Oh the places we've been, the things we've seen
The Adventures, and all the people we met along the way
Oh and then there's "Chatter Platters"
Wonderful life memories we have
Thanks for being a major part of Fab4

We miss you
Love ❤️ always

Thinking of you all. Christine was an inspiration to us all. So so positive in every way. You as a family meant so much to her, she loved you all very very much.
I loved the way she ticked off her bucket list. And so much more

A beautiful lady now at rest. Condolences to Esther and all the family. Sending hugs.

It is so hard to find the right words. You brought so much laughter, kindness, and fun to everyone who knew you. The memories we shared will always make me smile, even through the tears. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Rest peacefully. Sending all my love and deepest condolences to your family and everyone who loved you. 💙

Always on our minds and forever in our hearts 💞
Rest easy Christine you will be missed by so many far and wide ❤️🤗😘🌻

Christine has left the building, the amazing positivity, fun-loving, caring attitude towards everyone will live on forever. Don’t be sad, be proud of being part of her life. Create the memories, remember the fun times.

So sad to hear of Christine’s passing, Christine always lifted people’s spirits just being in her company, her optimism and love for life and deep love for her family was inspirational. My thoughts are with Christine’s family as I know she will be missed terribly.

RIP SIS - the favourite of the 6 of us; 3 girls and 3 boys.

The 3 big ones: Martin, Julie (Me), Christine (You)
The 3 little ones: Patrick, Theresa & Tom (our baby bro, also taken too soon) ❤️❤️

So many fond childhood memories to treasure.
Forever in our memories. ❤️❤️🌹🌹

So very sad to hear of Christine's passing. We had loads of laughs working together at the Community College as well as together within the Bluelight programme, where she gave many years of knowledge, humour and fashion tips. Loved her tenacity, sparkle and love for life. She will continue to sparkle from her star ( recently gifted by family ❤️). Christine always so giving may you forever continue to shine. Love and thoughts to her family and her fab friends.

Oh Christine...you were an absolute light in everyone's day and I loved having a sit down and a chat at the craft shows we shared with many others. But I met you first at community college quite a few years ago now .
Rest in peace but if I know you you'll have everybody up singing or dancing . Precious lady 💖

Goodbye to the most amazing mentor, confidante, friend and second mum to this wayward soul whose teenage years wear made bearable largely because of you and John and your lovely Suz. Thank you for all the love you poured into me and I will feel your hug every time I wear those pjs or go swimmung in the sea. Rest in peace you bloody beautiful human.

One of the sweetest and genuinely kindhearted person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

The world is a truely a little darker now for having lost your light.

Having a pyjama party in your honour tonight Aunty Chrissy. Xx

What a beautiful, kind person you were. Taken way too soon for all of us. Your memory will live on in all of us and especially your children and grandies.
You will always be in our hearts. ❤️ So glad we got to spend an awesome few days together earlier this year.
Love from all the Novotny's in Australia ❤️❤️🌹🌹

Christine, you were the most amazing, caring person that cared about others before herself. Patient, loving, adventurous, fun-loving, kind woman. I will miss you but we will meet up again in heaven.

What a beautiful and amazing sister she was all my love from padirick ❤️❤️🌹🌹
