The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Christine.

Chrissy you were a very brave and wonderful lady and fought right to the end and will be missed but never forgotten. Sleep tight lovely lady ❤️. Love Joyce xxx

My mum always spoke so highly of you and when I met you I realised why. You made me so welcome, both in the UK and Oz, and will be sorely missed. My thought are with Albie and all those who lives you lit up. With love, Scott x

I am writing this on behalf of my mum (103 yesterday old). She always remembered you as Chrissy Matthews, even when her memory was failing. She remembered when we had a playdate at our house and Chris had a bad migraine, so she put her to bed and sent me round to let her mum know! No phones in those days. She will be so sad you have been taken before your time. X

The service was such wonderful tribute. Mandi and I talk often of our visit to Oz a few years back and how we loved spending that evening with you both. You on the BBQ, Chris sending you your orders from the kitchen.
Been thinking back on that night a lot the past week - hard to fathom she’s gone. Alb, just know you are in our thoughts mate, far more than you’d think.
All our love, Steve & Mandi xxxx

Christine was one of life's lovely genuine people.
It is so sad she has been taken from us.
Thinking of you.
Lots of Love.

We will always remember you dear Chris, as a beautiful, bright and positive Lady - and very special to have your friendship.

To an Incredible Friend
Hard to believe that we can't pop over for one of your beautiful meals and enjoy sitting around and talking about you and Choofy's adventures.
We met some 18 years ago by chance of meeting for me doing some work for these "Pom's " ( just out from the UK )
All these years later we have always considered you part of the Family
With Love Always


All these years later we have always considered you part of the Family

These words aren't easy to write as this sad day has come far too early.

It seems so unfair for someone so full of life to be taken too young.

I will forever remember your encouraging dulcet tones; "go on Alb" as you stitched up poor Albie to do something!

You made the world a brighter place and life won't be the same without you in it.

You will be forever missed but never forgotten, as we shall cherish every memory you gave us.

Until we meet again.....

Chrissie - a really brilliant friend for 64 years. Our young life and many holidays together with Albert and on our own are truly memorable. Your courage over the last three years plus, has been incredible. You will always be in my heart. Rest in peace dear friend. Christine (Dobbie) xxxx

Dear Chris, one of the best friends I have ever had. A gentle and caring person whose presence enriched the lives of all who knew her. Although I am so very sad, I smile when I think of you. Our family have had some wonderful times with you and Albie, full of fun and laughter.
I'm so glad we managed to spend some time together in January and will treasure the memories.
I will miss you so much.
Rest now.
Denise (and family)

Chrissy I'm going to miss you to bits. We've had over 50years of memories and laughter. I'm going to miss our conversations putting the world to rights. I'm so glad I came over in March to see you...we had such fun. I will never forget you. Love you lots. Rest in peace...xx

70 years ago, a little girl came up to me in the school playground, took my hand and said I'm going to be your best friend - and she was. Never a cross word and loads of laughs. I only have my lovely memories, there is a hole in my heart that will never be filled. Honoured to have you as a friend, will always miss you.
Love Lin ( & Pete) Xxxxxxxx

To dear Chrissy, what can I say! It is with love that I think of you, the fun, the laughter the great times we all have shared.

You are always in my heart, with love always your friend Carmie xxx
