Christine was like a second mother to me, more than any of my other relatives in my family, next to my grandmother. I loved Christine dearly all through the years. I was particularly blessed to have memories of her all through my childhood. Last summer when I brought my son Sam to Fort Scott, we visited Christine at Morris's house and we took photos of Christine and me hugging each other. I sent her those photos this past Mothers day. Christine taught me so much about love, God, and forgiveness in life. I so admired her zest for life, her energy and love for others. I love all her children too and they are my family in my heart. We grieve for our loss of her but she is in heaven with a new chapter in her life. We will all see her again. My love to you Kim, Winnie and Edmund. Love, Lillis Atkins Werder. or Sister as you know me.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. I had the privilege of working and teaching with Christine when she was the assistant teacher in my classroom at New York Elementary School in Lawrence Kansas. Her daughter, Sherry,was a student teacher in the classroom, also. They were both a wonderful team to know and to work with. I adored Christine. She was dedicated, had a wonderful sense of humor, the children loved her, as well as the teachers. I have thought of her often. It was a pleasure to know her! May she rest in peace!

It has been a great lost to you we know as well as to all of them that know her. But unto her it has been a great gain. She has lived her life and now God has seen fit to call her home from her labor.

Ms. Ayers, we pray that you'll sense God's presence in this time of grief and feel God's love surrounding you. We will never forget the impact that you made on our family while playing sportsat Sumner Academy. Stay encouraged.
