I spent a lot of my teen years with the Christie family when I met Di and Pat 34 years ago. Tess was like a mom to me and always treated me like one of her own daughters whether it was cleaning up my act or just plain goofing around. I would tease Tess endlessly to get her to chase me only to warn me that if she did catch me I would get the Irish pinch of my life and Tess did indeed deliver! So many wonderful memories and I’m so very honored to be part of the Christie clan. I’m very grateful that I was able to spend some tender moments with Tess close to her passing. We were able to talk about those great memories and express how we felt for one another. I will miss you deeply Tess but nothing can take all those great memories and your teaching of what real family means when I needed it the most, that is instilled in me forever.
My heart, prayers, and love to Pete, Terry, Pat, Di, and the entire family.
