The Daily Larchmont, (NY) - October 20, 2011
Christina Bryant Padin, a former visual

four years after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was 59. Padin was the first employee of Wendy Gee, a personal and
home accessory store. As a buyer and visual merchandiser, her creativity for
design would flourish while she'd make up colorful window displays. She worked

where they'd raise their daughters. Padin would
encourage her daughter's creative endeavors, including Lizzie's singing and
Allie's painting. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor in November of 2007,
she was said to have fought the disease with courage and grace.
