My condolences to all of the family that surrounded Chrysa. God Bless you at this difficult time. I went to high school with Chrysa at Highlands. Although I did not see her very much after high school, she is near and dear to my heart. We all had so many good times together and she was one of the sweetest persons I have known.

Chrysa, you were such a beautiful, wonderful, sweet, loving woman. I met you so long ago when I was a little girl, and you took me into your home because I was Steph's best friend. You were always so sweet to me. Thank you for showing me such kindness and loveliness. May you watch over your children and grandchildren as their personal guardian angel. You will be missed by many.
