• Our Deepest Condolences to the Hanke family. Mrs Hanke Gained her Angel Wings and is now enjoying Peace with my Mum and Sister, I grew up all my life couple doors down from the Hanke family, being friends with Kim there was a lot of memories with Mr. & Mrs. Hanke, Christopher and Kim for 25 years. Mrs. Hank always had a beautiful yard with tinkering with her flowers in the Summer. Mrs. Hanke always liked to chit chat especially sitting in the back yard on the deck while Mr. Hanke would smoke a big cigar. Mrs. Hanke May You Rest in Peace and do a lot of gardening up in Heaven. Love your Neighbours Kellie, (Jack) & Stan Tkachuk - Posted by: Kellie Tkachuk (neighbour/friends) on: Jan 29, 2025

• I was very saddened to read of Chris' passing.. I have such fond memories of our school days together and recalling her many funny, unique "and very original "sayings"! When another school chum friend, Glenda, and I would call on Chris for school, we always enjoyed our visits with Mr. & Mrs. Smith.. I think Christine inherited her wit from her Father! My sincere condolences to Ed, Kim and Christopher.. RIP Chris... - Posted by: Joy French (Friend) on: Jan 21, 2025

• I first met Christine probably around 50 years ago when I started school at Margaret Park and met her son Chris. Through the years as we grew up I got to know Chris's family well. Christine and Ed were always kind and a great hosts. In later years my girlfriend Destiny started to spend time with all of us with many visits to the Hanke residence. We both have so many wonderful memories of times there and especially of Christine. She was always welcoming and made us feel like we were part of their family. She was most happy when everyone was there together. There was much conversation and lots of laughter. Chris, Ed, Kim and Grant we share in your loss and send you our thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Rob, Destiny, and Mathieu. - Posted by: Robert and Destiny Ferrand (Friends) on: Jan 20, 2025

• I worked with Chris for many years at Canada Post on the city floor sorting mail. Loved hearing her stories about their trips to Florida and her funny Ed stories. Her kindness to me and my family when my son Cory suffered an accident will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Chris. Sending my deepest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Jo Wardekker (Co-worker) on: Jan 18, 2025
