I’m going to miss Christina. Christina was an amazing Mom and I loved to laugh with her. Our friendship started with Tina and Juliet being such good friends. We were just planning our next get together. I wish I saw her more. I love every one of those precious girls. I’m so sorry Tom and family and all the dearest that love her. Here’s a pic of the beautiful Christina with our little Matteo at Bella’s B-Day party 🙂
Tom, Bella, Tina and Lexi,
Our condolences to you. We are so saddened by this loss. Christina was such a lovely, wonderful person, a proud, dedicated mother and so much more. She will be missed by so many.
With love,
The Penner Family
My heart goes out to the Flow family.
My dearest cousin Christina, I will always remember all the fun times we had together, my instant thoughts of you: when I first went to Korea in 1985, and I met you and your brother Andrew, you locked in me a closet because I spoke too much English. To the times we hung out in high school, when you visited and stayed with me in Korea in 2003, meeting Tom when you guys lived at Kennedy North and you guys attending our wedding over 10 years ago.. It is hard to fathom this tragedy, however your legacy will live on with Tom and your 3 beautiful daughters. RIP my cousin Christina!
In thoughts and grievance: Denny Suh and family
I found a picture of you and your brother from Korea in 1986, before immigrating to Canada.
Tom,Bella, Tina , Lexi, Judy & Alex:

Christina was a new friend but I already loved her dearly. Being new in Kelowna and the Aberdeen community last year, I will forever be grateful to her for extending her friendship to me. She was always warm and thoughtful and I always looked forward to seeing her. Tom, we have never met but I’ve met your lovely girls and my heart aches for you, Bella, Tina and Lexie. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Christina is missed so very much. May she Rest In Peace.
So very sorry to hear this. Christina and I talked a few times over the past year at birthday parties and around the school. She was always warm and smiling with a cheerful hello while passing her in the parking lot. My heart goes out to the Flow family and I hope knowing that she always spoke so fondly and proudly of her girls offers some comfort.
Tom and family,
Can’t express how deeply sad to hear this news.
Christina, I will always remember your laughter and your friendship.
Sending you my deepest condolences to the family and Tom.

Such a shock, Tom. Christina was a major part in the larger family and we’ll miss her, too. Know that so many of us will be thinking of you, Bella, Tina, and Lexi – not just now, but for years to come. I’m glad your mom and dad can be with you; sorry that the pandemic keeps your sister away. Love to all of you.

Words can not express how deep my sadness is for Tommy, the girls and all of the family…such a tragic loss, and so hard to believe. Life is precious and our memories are even more precious. I feel blessed that Christina was part of my family’s lives, and her spirit lives in us forever. xoxoxo <3
Hello, Tom, such an extremely sad news for your lovely wife passed away so suddenly. It is very sad for your lost. She was a very lovely lady.
Please take good care of your self and your lovely children.
Dear Tom,
I am so sincerely sorry to hear of Christina’s passing. It must be of disbelief for you at present and no words from anyone can possibly help.
I never had the privilege of meeting Christina, Peter spoke so highly of her warmth, kindness and welcome to your home.
From reading the beautiful messages for Christina from the condolences I am sure your beautiful daughters will take all through life the wonderful parts of her personality, gifts and spirit that they have inherited and learnt from her.
The time they spend with Christina as a mum and friend will shape their lives.
I have found Tom you don’t get over such loss and tragedy you just learn to live life around it, with Christina’s spirit helping and supporting you.
Your beautiful daughters will bring you such joy as they grow and Christina’s spirit will shine though for you.
Thinking of you all.
Peter and Ruth Comerford and family

Tom, Bella, Tina and Lexi,
We wanted to say how deeply saddened we were to learn of Christina’s sudden passing. She was a lovely vibrant woman and a fiercely proud mom to her three beautiful daughters.

Tom,
I’m sending my deepest condolences to you and your family. I’ll always remember her excitement and smile that day while fishing on the lake. She didnt want to come back in to shore. “One more loop, I need to catch one too!” she said. We cooked the one trout we did catch, and everyone had a taste of it. She smiled at me proudly as folks took pieces of it onto their plates.
I am happy to have that great memory. Her excitement is the best part of it.
sending you love and strength to get through this time.
Nigel
