How comforting to know God is welcoming her home

Family, friends and OSB Community - my sincere sympathy for the loss of a great friend, family member, leader. As a young, naive high school student, I failed to grasp the accomplishments and background of this woman I only knew as our principle. I have observed her work and success over these many years. She lived her beliefs every day, by example, and helped move all women into the 21st century. Such a loss to our community.

Chris was a very special person and a dear friend. I loved her dearly and respected her tremendously. Truly a shining light has gone out in our world. I send my love and sympathy to all her sisters in her community and to all her family. With compassion...Carol J. Dempsey, OP

I followed her career through the years since then, and was interested but not surprised to see all that she accomplished in the service of others. Although she has gone to her well-earned reward, she will be...

Elaine and Joan I am sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person.
