You know there are a lot of good people in the world, they quietly go about their business but always find the time to stop and help.  They are like treasures, like finding a real good seashell at the beach, you want to keep it to remind you of all the good things in the world.  One such treasure is my friend Christine.  She is one of the smartest people I know with a very broad spectrum of knowledge and information.  Does community service but feels like it is no big deal.  Helps out when friends need her for anything and I mean anything.  Doesn't think twice about taking in children who need help, a place to call home for the moment or an extended vacation stay.  A few years ago there was a friend of her sons who had no place to stay and she took him in for a year and saw to it that he could continue his studies and have a roof over his head.  This woman has a heart of gold even if she does not think so.  She is the best Mom in the world, always ready to help out in any situation as well as a great wife to her husbund.  My world is much enriched for knowing her and I'm proud to call her my friend.  Her heart is in the right place and that's why I want to dedicate her story to the-green-heart page.  The world is a better place because of people like her.
