Laine Elizabeth Christman
January 7, 1972 - September 8, 2013
Share your Memorial with Family & Friends
To those that may read my message here: Laine's mother, Sharon, is my cousin. Even though we have lost touch with each other over the years, I have often thought of Sharon as well as being kept in the loop of how the family has been. As a matter of fact, I knew Laine when she was born and can still remember Laine when she was a little, precious, beautiful girl. Since her birth, I have seen only pictures of Laine as she grew up. My uncle Jack, Laine's grandfather, graciously shared stories about both Laine and Andrea as they grew up. We relied on the stories as family reunions were always difficult to get everyone together. This terrible news of Laine's accident and her passing is so sad and I just want to say I'm sorry for the loss. My sincere condolences to Sharon, Richard, Andrea, and the family. She is with Grandma Marquerite, Aunt Karen, Aunt Ruth and Uncle Dean Sloan. As someone mentioned before....until we meet again.

I knew Laine from Blazer's Band, as a fellow flute player many, many, many years ago. We were never really close, but I always remember her infectious smile and her caring personality. From all the recent photos that I have seen, she looks just like she did when I knew her back in the '80's (how was she able to do that?). I am so sorry for your loss, and I know words can not take away the shock, anger, and pain that all of you are feeling. Please know that there are more people than you know saying prayers and sending love and hugs to all of you.

Laine, if I could tell you how many people whose lives you touched have sent us messages talking about your friendship and love, you would probably say I was crazy. I do not know how many years it will take for me to stop expecting phone callls at 11:30 at night because you knew I would still be awake, yay for insomnia. I have loved you forever more than you can know - even when you cleaned your room by stuffing everything in the closet and the door fell off. Thanks to everyone who has posted on this site and others. We have found great comfort reading all of your words. Thank you all for being Laine's friends.

Dear Marc, sharon, and the whole family, I am so sad, and stunned. Laine was special in many ways, from the time she was born. We grew up so close, and even though we didn't see each other much lately, I was sure or her kindness and generosity. Things were hard for her, and she was able to see the bright side always. She was so loving to me after my mom died, and I was never able to tell her how much I appreciated that. I wish so much that I could tell her now. I will miss her, and hope that you know I am always here if you need me, and my family as well. With much love and care, Erin

We will miss you at each birthday, thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. We love you dearly, Uncle Steve

I was Laine's second mom. I was known as Auntie Joanne. I had known her since she was born. We did all the birthdays, recitals, everything. She was my baby girl and now she's gone. I can bear a lot of things but I don't think I can bear this. But I have to. I'm just going to have to bear it. I love you, Laine. Auntie Joanne

It was shocking to learn about Laine's passing, as it seems it was like yesterday when Joe Ferro introduced us while in Blazers Band the fall of 1985. My condolences to her family, and it goes without say she was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.
