Dear Linda,
Thinking of you and your family on this sad anniversary. I know you all find strength in each other.
Love,

I’m sorry for your loss. Mom showed me pics of your mother and others I haven’t seen in decades, and it brought back fond memories. Peace to you all. Love, Bryan

Dear girls

Your mother and I were members of the same Sunday School department at GeyerSprings for many years.  God bless your family.

Dear Girls  and families:   I have many happy memories of my years at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church with your family. My sons are R. Lee Hinson and C. Wallace (Wally) Hinson who grew-up with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Love to all.

Karen and family, 
I’m thinking of you all today as you celebrate the life of your dear Mom! Sending love and prayers your way. 
Love, 
Denise 

I only had the pleasure of meeting Christene once; it was for dinner at her home with her daughter Linda, a dear friend.  She was gracious, funny and full of joy.  It was a fabulous night and I feel lucky to have had the chance to meet her. I see where so much of Linda's love and joy comes from.  Sending all the love, light and prayers to her family and friends. 

I still remember at the old three story house.
Mom and Chris always stayed in touch.
She was a great lady. God bless and take care.

To the Stalkner's daughters:   Your mother was a very strong sweet lady and will be missed.  Many prayers to the family.  Roy & Charlotte Garlington

Chris & I had a unique friendship because we would laugh until we cried or cry until we laughed.  We shared the love of crafting,  eating things we shouldn't, watching and discussing Dancing with the Stars and most of all, talking about our kids.  We both suffered the loss a child, something that bound us together as mothers, friends  and confidants.  Chris would go grocery shopping then stop at my house, alert me by a honk of her horn to drop of goodies!! We always ended our visits with "Love ya".  I have lost my dearest friend....      

Our prayers are with your family in this most difficult time.  The Glenn Family

Our friendship started in the 1950’s. We met every Thursday morning at the beauty Shop.  I cherished our talks and  I loved her and will miss her very much.  Shirley Talley Martin 

Dearest Joyce and sisters,
I was saddened to learn about your mother’s passing. I have such sweet and wonderful memories of her when we were growing up. So many fun times spent at your house on 65th street. She was always so kind to me. 
I know how difficult it is to lose your mother as my mom passed in February this year. I pray that you will be comforted knowing that she lived a wonderful life and hope that the precious memories fill your heart. 
Thinking of all of you !
JoAnn


Linda,

Your mother was an inspiration, raising daughters as a single mother! Sweet memories of your family at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church. Your mother was resilient.  Psalms 18:2 describes her, she never waivered in her faith, and claimed God as her high tower. You are in my prayers.

I have many fond memories of the Stalnaker family and Georgia Gardner through out the years at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church.  We love you all!  We last visted with her and Christina at the GSFBC 75th Anniversary in 2015.  

Bud and Susie Owens Shumaker




My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.   

Chris was a blessing to all of us that was in the BIRTHDAY GROUP  those are memories that we will hold dear in our hearts .  She will be missed.      Bonnie Magness

Linda and family, I just wanted to express my sympathies on the passing of your mother.  Having gone to school with Tammy (jr. / sr. high) and working with Linda for years, I have a real sense of how special the Stalnaker family is to a number of people.  That doesn't happen by accident.  It shows how the light in each of you was cultivated by loving parents and I trust you all have a treasure of memories of your Mother.  Tell those stories often as they do help ease the loss but also help to keep in mind where she is now.  

Peace to you all, Shayne Smith.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Stalnaker in person but I  know from my long, cherished friendship with Linda how much her mother was loved. And meeting Linda's sisters and seeing their close family bond, I know their mom had to have been a very special person. My heart grieves for you but I hope you will all find comfort in each other and in your shared memories.

Linda,

So sorry to hear this.  Our thoughts are with you and your family.  Take care of yourself.

Linda and Bob Abrams

My Aunt Chris was an aunt by marriage but she was special to us. She was a caring and wonderful person. May she find a special place in Heaven and be with my Mother whom she always loved. Rest In Peace Aunt Chris 

As a child, I’d get to spend the night with Linda Carol when she and my Uncle David were engaged. I remember Ms. Chris as a kind, loving and gracious woman, always poised and collected, always ready to smile at a child’s idiosyncrasies, always ready for a hug. I will miss her warmth and contagious joy - and count her among the saints who helped me on my journey of faith. She was a safe place to be myself in times I felt I should put up a front with others - she is a true saint and I can’t wait to see her in Glory. 

Karen, Joel and family, we're so sorry about your tremendous loss. You both are so special to us and we send our deepest sympathies. We love you both.
