It was my joy and privilege to know Clarissa. I was thrilled when talented Clarissa did a program for Young at Heart at the Salmon Creek United Methodist Church. She talked about wool, showed her spinning wheel, etc. May Clarissa rest in Heavenly Peace with our Blessed Lord. I cherish her friendship.

Chris, you rock! Smart, organized, hard-working, multi-talented... The kind of person I'd hire to run a company. I really do admire you, you know... Thank you for everything. Hope you're enjoying yourself in Heaven!
