Christopher & Michael: I met your mom through Claudia way back in the 70s I believe. Always a good time spending time with her. Always greeted with a hug and a chuckle. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Chris' family and close friends. I was saddened to hear of her passing. I had come to know Chris during the last 30 plus years primarily with her help with my home projects but in a short time the working relationship became more relaxed and genuine and was what it was, a casual friendship.. I enjoyed our shared time & appreciated her openness ,positivity, and ideas. I would never ask Chris what a charge was going to be because it wasn't necessary. At the end we just settled up. Her ethics and sense of fair were always there. May she be honored and remembered for her kind spirit, warmth , easiness, and caring. I enjoyed hearing her talk about her Appalachian trips. She will be missed. May memories comfort those in need at this time. Her lovely laugh & smile come to mind.
From sometime ago: Buffy, Debbie, Michael, Claudia, Meg, Janet, Larry and God Bless Chris. Larry

Chris and I became fast friends, as I am sure many other people have. I believe it was because she knew how to be a "true" friend. Chris was one of the kindest people I have ever known and truly a woman of faith. Although I have only known her for a few years, the memory of her will be with me forever. My heart goes out to her family and all those who loved her.
God Bless you Chris, I love and miss you. May God keep you and hold you in his loving arms. Until we will meet again my friend.
