Not sure what to say?

To Steve and Your Children,
We were so very sorry to hear this sad news. Please be assured of our prayers. Chris was always so helpful during Mikey and Kevin's OLPH years. She welcomed Mikey to many gatherings at your house and cared for him like another son and I will never forget her kindness. God bless you and help you through this.
Love, The Pattersons

Steve and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Steve, Stephanie, Caitlin, Kevin, and Kelly,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your wife/Mom was truly an inspiration to not only myself, but her entire OLPH family. It will be impossible to walk down the halls of the school or to go into the lunch room and not feel her warm and endearing presence. I will miss her so much, but I know she will always be with us encouraging us to never give up trusting in God.

Love,
Mrs. Terry Light

Dear Kelly and family:
I had the honor and priveledge of getting to know both Kelly and her wonderful mother, Chris, 3 years ago when the Drexel Hill Players perfomed "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." I was the President of the play group and Producer of the show. Kelly was a true delight and a good actress with lots of star potential even then at what, age 6 or 7? And your Mom was such a breath of fresh air! She volunteered to help with costumes, sets, with back stage tasks the...

Dear Steve and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had no idea Chris was sick. The last time we spoke was when our boys played soccer with Ridley United (Coach Bill). She was always busy running back and forth with the kids to their next event and enjoyed doing it. My prayers go out to all of you and hopefully her memories will help sustain you as you go on with your lives. I'm truly sadened and don't know what else to say. God give you strength. Sincerely, Debbie Gallagher (Sean's...
