A message to all Christie Hennessy fans from his wife

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has taken the time and trouble to extend kind messages of sympathy to my family in our great loss.
Your many thoughts of condolence have been a constant source of comfort and support daily, through this indescribably painful time.
We have all received much strength in the knowledge of loving prayers offered for us and I know too, that Christie will be aware of this ongoing care and also of your prayers for him in the Heaven Realms.

Thank you to all of you, from the bottom of my heart.

(aka Mrs Christie Hennessy)
