  2. No apology will ever be accepted for the brutal murder of my niece Christine. And no sentence will ever bring her back or put closure to this crime. Thank you Bonnie for taking the time to put a blog of my niece on your page. God Bless.

  3. I was Christine best friend for years along with 2 orthers. I will miss her. Not a day go by that I don’t think about my friend that I used to laugh and smile and cry with and just do about everything that friends do together. The people who kilt my friend I hope they suffered in what the judge decides their punishment should be. My friend was supposed to graduate this year with me and I am going to miss all that because of people who acted without thinking. My greatest sympathy goes out to the family. I love you Christine I miss you Rest In Peace Sweetie.

  7. Christine it has been four years today. I miss you alot. You know this I was talking to you on Easter.(The last day I seen my niece alive). Sure enough on Tuesday after Easter she came to me in a dream. It was so real and she told me she had to tell me something. She was screaming my name and crying. I gave her a hug and she told me she saw the gate. When I questioned her about what gate I woke up in a puddle of sweat. I know you have made to the ever lasting life you have made that known to me. I love you, and miss you so much.

  14. Not sure why Christine Ham popped in my head a few moments ago. We grew up in the same neighborhood; in fact, she lived on the street over from my street. I was a few years older than her but remember her because she knew my little sisters and would see her outside every now and then. I was 18 years old when she passed and was unaware of the details of her death. Sixteen years later, I’m not sure why I thought about her. But I remembered she passed. Therefore, out of curiosity – I did a Google search. My heart is broken. Rest In Peace, Christine. I wish I had known back then how they took your life and wished I would have said my final goodbyes. Just know, sixteen years later, someone’s heart is aching/mourning over your senseless death.

    Again, Rest In Peace, Christine Ham!
