Crissy, when Isiah was born, it created an eternal link and bond between us that nothing can ever take away. Your love and Isiah were the greatest gifts you could give to anyone and I will cherish them forever. Rest in peace with no more pain and suffering, my love. You were truly my better half and that void in my heart will never be filled. I'll always love you and I miss you.

Judy & Kids,
Chis always had a big heart, she would do anything for anybody and give you the shirt off her back. It was so sad that she had to go through much suffering with her sickness and other things in her life. There will always be a place in my heart and her pictur on the TV stand. She will be sadley missed from Uncle Mickey. Love you Chris.
Chris was such a beautiful lady, will miss her, but know she is in a better place. She is no longer in pain and is with her dad. She will never be forgotten. Love, Aunt Doris

Christine, I will miss you forever my daughter, best friend and room-mate. You and I finally had to realize your time was short. You and I and Peaches enjoyed the past few months, we laughed, joked and cried and shared our love together. You asked that no one see you towards the end except myself the boys and Peaches. We did honor that with the help of Hospice. I'm so sorry I could not honor your wishes for your ashes, please forgive me. You don't have to be beside your dad's urn as you are now with him. May you rest in peace my beautiful girl with no pain, tears or abuse again. Love you Mama

Sissy, I will miss you so much, but know you are with daddy and I just want to say thank you for being my big sister. We had good times and bad but we were always there for one another. We held hands til the end just like we promised and just like you did with me when we were little girls. I know we will be together again someday but for now fly with the angels and daddy and I'll take care of mama. Love you always, Peaches

The Chrissy I knew was a smiling, kind, and always cheerful mom to her 3 boys, not to mention a great grandma to Jozlyn. I always enjoyed our talks & lunchens we had. You were a great 2nd mom to Colleen and she truely did love you. I will cherish my gift you gave me years ago, its my favorite statue of an angels holding her kids. Its always going to display in my house, for many more years to come. Now your with the angels and in no pain. God bless you. My husband Bill says god bless you and you'll be forever missed by all your family and friends.

Christine's family, I am so grateful that this beautiful life has finally been embraced by true and absolute peace. She was such a loving and giving soul and touched many lives, including mine for the last 35 years. There just aren't words to convey what she meant to me and how much she touched my life. She was such a beautiful friend. Amazing. I wish you all strength during such an incredibly difficult time. To know that she was surrounded by absolute love when God took her home is truly a blessing.
I love you so much Christine Walker!

Mrs. Walker, Chuck, Peaches, Butch and Family,
I've thought of Sissy so many times over the years but was never able to locate her. I cared for her like a little sister. I've thought of all of you from time to time and I was just mentioning to my daughter two days ago how Sissy, Peggy and I walked and walked around the neighborhood when we were young, and talked and talked. And then today I find out she's gone. I'm so sorry for you all.
Her friend from 66th and Palm Lane.

To everyone who knew Chrissy, I am sorry for your loss. I've been blessed & have had the pleasure of being involved in her life since I was 14 years of age...12 years later, I look back on all the moments we shared and Im glad to call her my friend. One to hold my hand, help me, and never judge, she was my second mother. It was hard to see the cards she was dealt at such a young age but even sick, all she cared about was the well being of everyone else. That's who she was, a nuturing soul filled with so much love for everyone. I miss her smile, but I know now that she's looking right at us smiling, because she's no longer in pain. She's with pops surrounded by angels, that she's always loved so much. I'm fortunate that my daugther was able to have such a wonderful & amazing grandmother. We love you Chrissy, and I was never able to tell u what you meant to us, but I know u can see & hear me now...THANK YOU for everything. Always in my thoughts, your family & friends is always in my prayers. Until we meet again, I love you.
