Christine Margaret Haberkam

My husband and I were honored to bring holy communion to Christine in the nursing home for the past several years. The very first day we visited Christine, she had just lost a friend, Mrs. Chamblee, and she was very sad. Though we had not met before, Christine unabashedly clasped my hands tightly and commanded that she “needed special prayers.” I prayed awkwardly with her over the loss of her friend, but Christine was completely gracious. We became good friends, and she shared many stories of her family and life during our short visits over the years we saw her. Sometimes she was in a down mood, either due to her pain, health issues, or sadness, but she was always feisty, always a fighter, always grateful for any kindness, and she always loved to give and receive hugs, which I very much enjoyed. I am glad Christine is free of her pain, but we will miss her greatly. May you all cherish and find comfort in your memories of her. ~ Lori & Steve Conway, Our Lady of the Assumption, Ministry of Care
