Wow.
I feel like I've been through a number of ups and downs as a fan of the Kings, and for the past 18 years vladefan21 and KingsFans have been right there with me. She was so often a champion for optimism. And yet, VF was not afraid to be critical of the Kings when she thought it warranted. She was passionate about her team and about these forums. She posted a lot (over 100,000 times!!) but I never felt like her posts were extraneous. I believe a huge chunk of the success of this forum is from her presence as both a fan and a moderator.
I didn't know Christine personally, but for me she stood tall on this forum with smarts, kindness and an undying love for the Sacramento Kings. My sincere condolences go to her family, friends, and all those who knew her.
She will be missed.
