Chris and I shared a lot of good times over the last 35 years. We played Bunko and had a group of girls we played poker with. Then there were the Sunday trips to the casinos and stops at Kevin's house or Paul's house for dinner on the way home. She's the one I called to take me to hospital for emergency surgery and spent the night in my room with me so I wasn't alone. She was and will always be one of my best friends. I will miss you very much.
