The family wishes to thank all of the caregivers
who helped our Aunt during her illness. The Brookdale Assistant Living Facility Staff
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day;
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much... Whatever the part. ~ THE FAMILY

MRS. CHRISTINE LAURA DENT SWINT TIMMONS of Brookdale Assisted Living, 326 Boy Scout Road, Augusta, Georgia entered into restMonday, January 25, 2010 at University Hospital, Augusta, Georgia.

At an early age, she became a faithful, trustworthy, dependable

Christine was a career educator in Georgia. She began her profession with the Washington County Board of Education in Sandersville,
Georgia. The majority of her career life was spent in Augusta where
she taught at Weed and Tutt Elementary Schools. She retired from William Robinson Elementary School. She loved being a teacher and embedded herself in this calling. She constantly sought to ensure that all students learned, set goals, and worked toward the achievement of their goals.
She married Joe Timmons in 1971 and remained married until his
death in 1986.

Christine had an effervescent personality and a beautiful dimpled
smile that could light a room. She was the life of the party radiating | cheer to all that were within her sphere. Her smile was contagious and her positive outlook on life, a lesson in living. Her love and
spirit and non-judgmental attitude endeared her to her large circle of intergenerational friends. She enjoyed entertaining her friends
and everyone who knew her enjoyed being in her presence. She was
happiest surrounded by family andfriends.

She leaves to cherish her memory: a loving and devoted niece, Denyse Bowman James and her husband, Elias James of Brooklyn, New York; a caring and concerned nephew, Theodore Bowman Jr. of Augusta, Georgia; a treasured goddaughter, Janice Riley of Atlanta, Georgia; other relatives and a vast circle of friends.

Death is necessary to remind us of how precious life is. Death is necessary to slow us down from our fast daily life

and make us appreciate all that is in front of us.

Death is necessary to remind us to enjoy life

and spend more time with our family and friends. _ Death is necessary to make us forget what we are mad or arguing about

and make us hold hands and express our love for each other.

Death is necessary to remind us that life is not everlasting.

That we need to live it to the fullest without allowing anything to stop us from

accomplishing our goals and dreams.

Death is necessary to stop us from putting off what we need today for tomorrow.

Death is necessary to stop our loved ones from suffering in pain,

so that their spirit can live in God's kingdom in peace.

Death is necessary to feel sad because we miss our loved ones.

But, with sadness, we begin to smile and remember the good times we had together.
Remember their laughter, their words of wisdom, their dislikes, their special cologne

or perfume, their unique style of clothing, their funny walk or hand gestures --

Ce

and even their special sleeping position.

But most of all, Death is necessary to remind us to express our love to our family and friends
everyday before it's toolate.
