This is so deeply saddening and very tragic. I have known Chris for 20 years and worked closely with her at Lu Engineers for 15 of those. She was a mentor and guiding force in my early days at Lu and was always willing to help. She encouraged me to explore my love of flying and get my pilots license and to always expand my horizons and to never stop learning and living. I am sure that she touched many many lives in a positive way and she will be sorely missed.

Although I have met Christine only once , at a family gathering at her parents' home, during the past few months she became someone to be admired for her courage, and decency. I am a friend of one of her sisters, so I often heard what a nice person she was. During the last month or so, Christine‘s illness was often a topic in our phone conversations. From Christine there was no whining. She continued to work and be active in her home, even when undergoing somewhat incapacitating treatments. .
I prayed for a different outcome, wanting her to make it. God's will was otherwise. It is a comforting though that medically she was given the best and did not have to go ti alone, supported and solaced by her devoted husband and surrounded by the love of her whole family. I would like to offer my condolences to the whole family and to assure all of yon u of my continuing prayers for Christine's eternal welfare and for God's consoling love for you who are left behind.
In Christo

Dear Chris, you have been the greatest sister to me. We were like two peas in a pod. We had so many fun times together. And we sure laughed a lot. It saddens my heart that cancer robbed you of a your life. You loved to live life fully. You saw joy in all that you did.
I will dearly miss you sis and will always love you everyday of my life.

Dan and Family: Chris came to be a friend through Dan and we shared many laughs and good times at work events. She was a truly wonderful lady that does not deserve to have her life end so quickly. Her final note to me on my desk at work will be cherished as a sign of the special friendship we shared. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. Your road to healing and survival will lie in the memories you hold dear.
