When you loose a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and friend, it is a loss like no other that leaves you with an aching in your heart and a longing for just one more day, one more hour, one more minute and one more hug. On Monday May 29, we had to say good bye to our beloved Christine Hoskins (nee Osmond) after a short but courageous battle with cancer at the age of 65 years. Christine was predeceased by her father Wilson Osmond, father and mother in law Ronald and Bertha Hoskins and her step father Garfield Piercey. Leaving to mourn with a lifetime of precious memories, her husband Andy Hoskins of 45 years. A loving and devoted mother, Christine's memory will remain safely tucked inside the hearts of her two children; Trudy (Johnny) and Trevor, she will also live on in the heart of her only grandson, her treasure Andre Hoskins and also her special puppy, her pride and joy Simba. She will be sadly missed by her mother Ruth Piercey and her only brother Albert (Bernice) Osmond. She will be fondly remembered by her brothers and sisters in law; Clyde Hoskins (Dale), Raymond Hoskins, Mervin (Elaine) Hoskins, Madonna (Bill) Dawe, Sherry (Brian) Masters, Louise (Calvin) Hillier. She will always hold a special place in the hearts of her good friends Charlie (Jeannie) Burchell, Clayton (Blanche) Harris, Tammy (Jimmy) Hoskins. The exceptional relationship that Christine had with her extra special friends Denise and Tony Parsons was a bond that could not be separated and they have many precious memories of Christine that will always keep them close at heart. She will also be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends including her buddies at MacDougall's.
