We were shocked and saddened to learn of Chris' passing. She was a dear friend, always full of energy, fun and a great zest for life. I'm thankful to have known her and also to know her wonderful family. Our deepest condolences to all.

We cannot imagine a world without Chris in it. She lit up the room wherever she went and was so much fun to be with. Our hearts break for you all at such a loss.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Aunt Chris.  I will always remember how she was always there for my mom, especially towards the end of her life, every day the amount of time the two of them would spend on the phone. They always found something to talk about. It helped carry my mom through some difficult days. I will also always remember her laugh and how engaged she would be with Dakota on the phone. Dakota started by calling her "Aunt Kiss", and that name stuck for a while until she could correctly pronounce Aunt Chris. After my mom passed, Dakota and "Aunt Kiss" would continue their conversations for quite a while. 

I know how difficult this time is and am sending you all lots of love and prayers. <3
