Linda, Gary, Lori and family,  

I have fond memories of visiting the Christensen's home as a child. On Saturday nights, my parents,  Darlene and George would play cards with Joanie and Jim and kids could stay up late and watch movies! Wonderful times! She will always be in my heart as such a caring and thoughtful woman. 

Love ya,
Denise Bighia


To Lori, Gary & Linda,
My most heartfelt sympathy to all of you,  your spouses and your children as well. I have always referred to your mother as “Mama Joan” as she became somewhat of a second mom to me in the early years of my friendship with Lori. Your mother had such grace and warmth that I always felt welcome in her home.  She was funny and I remember how easily Lori could embarrass her in a silly well meaning way. Her response, “Oh Lori.” 
One other memory was bumping into her unexpectedly at both of our high school reunions.  Milford High School had an alumni banquet that year and we were both in honor classes.
My 25th and her 40th or greater. Linda had accompanied her and I think I was probably more excited to see Joan than she was to see me. She was very special and I will miss my reports from Lori how Mama Joan is doing. God Bless You all and peace be yours in your grief.
