Woek chatter
I met Christina at East Penn, we would get ready for work during the same shift. During that time she would tell me about her daughter and the furry friends they had as well as stepson. Her face would light up when she'd mention her children. We'd have random conversations to know each and during her lunch breaks she'd always give me the weis circular cause she knew I shopped there. Just like Christina to always be thoughtful of another being. She'll be missed and although I've known her through locker room conversations at East Penn I'm thankful to have met her. May she Rest In Peace, my condolences to the family.
