Dear Chris and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss.
I cannot make it to your moms wake and I am sorry,but I had to do the Grandmother thing and watch my grandson.
My prayers are with you and please extend my condolences to your dad and your family. Elaine T.R.

Words cannot express the pain I feel inside. I know you were so happy to be finally home and see how beautiful the house looked. I can take some comfort knowing that you passed away peacefully with my Grandfather by your side.

I will never forget how great you were at Trivial Pursuit (lucky me was always your partner) and your dry sense of humor made me laugh. I thought you knew everything and now you know really EVERYTHING!

We always said the same thing whenever we talked "Hello Grandmother...Hello Granddaughter". Your love wraps around me and my love will always surround you. I miss you and love you!
