Christel Townsend-Waite
It is with a very heavy heart that I pass on that our little sister, Christel Townsend-Waite DH 66 passed away in her sleep last night. Her son asked that we let all of her brat family know.
We are in shock. We had just spoken with her and made reservations for the reunion. She was so excited about it.
