Christine was a virtuous woman in every aspect of her life, and her lasting and irreplaceable influence will remain a part of her family’s home until Jesus comes for His bride!

8. Terecita Cunningham Friend 11/12/2023 It is my prayer that Mr. Lanyon and his two young men be comforted and encouraged as they lay their wife and mother to rest. She was a wonderful Christian woman. I remembered her from Nassau Christian Schools. Sister Wise was always ready to share the gospel of Christ with others. I had the privilege of going on visitation with her on many occasions. My sister Lanyon in Christ loved her Lord, and people. I tried over the years to pattern my life after her. She was a godly example for any young Christian in The Bahamas, to emulate. My sympathy to the Lanyon's and church family . To God be the glory, another sister has go home. May her soul rest in peace. Sister Terecita Cunningham and family.
