Chrissie and my daughter Marie were inseparable in high school and beyond. Looking back on Chrissies and Maries friendship there are probably alot of shenanigans that i'm glad not to know the details of. Chrissie adopted me and my boy's as her second family calling me mom and she was my other daughter. Chrissie had the biggest heart biggest smile and great hugs when we would see each other she absolutely loved my Mothers potato salad and would always request it when she was around she reffered to it as Grandma Hanson's onion salad. My dear Chrissie I hope you know how special you were to me and that you know how deeply you are missed. May you Rest in Peace sweet Angel.
