We met through Bruce's cousin, Dr. Patricia Singleton. Patricia and Christina worked together at the Hampton Newport News Community Services Board. When Patricia went out on medical leave, Christina went to visit her at home with Krispy Kreme donuts. The next day, Bruce visited Patricia at her home and brought her a meal from Bowman's Soul in the Wall. Patricia decided to tell Bruce about Christina after she says, " The Lord told me to." Patricia showed Bruce pictures of Christina and sent Christina pictures and details about Bruce. Bruce called that evening and set up a date to meet Christina at Panera Bread on Labor Day, September 3, 2018. They met and talked for three hours at Panera Bread before Bruce said, "let's go get something to eat at Pier 88." The rest is history!
