“For Christine, just the amount of people from the community in Rhode Island I’ve already heard from today that she’s touched,” he said. “Whether it was screening them to adopt the dog that they loved or helping them with a summer project or whatever, she was just one of those people that could just kind of plug in anywhere, connect with people and build a real bond.”
