Cherished wife and friend of Bob Rush, dearly loved mother of Warren, and Steve, sister of Bruce Roberts and close friend of Gay his wife. Step-mum of Michaela, and Adrienne Rush. One who fought to survive her early months of life, got on with life as if nothing was impossible, then again fought long and hard over the last 13 month fighting breast cancer. Admired by all at Lady Wigram Village for her smile and zest for life. Special thanks to Nurse Maude for the regular nurse visits and guidance, their Hospice who steadied the ship, plus Lady Wigram Village Hospital staff for their super care and attention in recent weeks. Messages may be addressed to The Family of the Late Chris Roberts, C/- PO Box 39127, Christchurch 8545.

Memories came flooding back as I remember in the 50s we were both playing our piano accordions in Ted Smiths band. I had my first aeroplane ride to Auckland and we stayed with your Grandad. Rest in peace Christine. Marie Louise Lange née Mallouk

Christine and I were good friends in our younger lives as our Mothers met in the same Maternity hospital. Both families kept up their friendship and Christine and I spent time together during school holidays at each others homes. I have often thought about those good times that we both had. My thoughts are with all her family. Rest easy Christine.
