Megan & Family,
Sorry for the tardiness of this note considering I've been in bed with the flu.
You have my sympathy and Chris will be missed at Brookfield East events. I saw her countlessly at boys basketball when I video taped and at the diamonds rooting on Megan and the team.
Chris was a huge part of the Spartan family

Chris worked with me for almost 18 years. Her intelligence and kind nature will be greatly missed...and of course, her very gentle, laid back laugh. John & Megan - She spoke of you often...she was so proud.
My sincere condolences to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello ... my prayers are for your family to receive healing deep within that the best qualities of Chris would be express in each of our lives. Her care and genuineness was evident in the office going from challenging an idea to affirming contributions to light-hearted jokes and laughter shortly later. She did not hide who she was nor her confidence in people. We will miss her, but her legacy will live on. Now these three remain; faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love. Let God's love abide in your hearts to fill every empty spot.

Paul and Megan, I am so sad to hear about Chris. I enjoyed working with Chris planning the basketball banquets and having a glass of wine. She was a person I could talk to for hours. She will be so missed! Mike, Nancy, Lauren, Lindsay and Nick Kennedy

Megan and Paul:
We were shocked to hear the sad news. Just an hour earlier I said hi to her at the softball game. She will truly be missed. She was a very kind, giving, positive, helpful and supportive person. It can be very lonely in times like this, but trust and faith in God will help you get by. Always remember, Mom is looking down from heaven and is not really that far away. She will always be by your side but in a different way. God bless.

Dear Paul, Megan and family,
I will forever remember your loving wife and mother as a proud, strong, positive woman, that loved life, sports, and her children. Those cold softball games were warmer with her around us. We are all in shock and disbelief. Chris was so eager to reach out to me while Emily was battling cancer and often found me at events to ask how Emily was doing. She was such a caring person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God give you strength. Please know there will be many prayers for your family. I'm so sorry.
Melissa, Steve, & Emily Oberst

Megan and Paul,
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and that Chris meant so much to so many. While she was taken far too soon, her laughter, positive energy and loyalty touched us all. To say that she will be missed is an understatement. Cherish the precious memories and keep her spirit alive. We are here for you, as you need us.

My thoughts & prayers are with Chris & all your family. Grief & sorrow have no words but may God's spirit surround all of you with loving memories. Chris always had a glow when she talked about her family, and her love for you always shined brightly. I feel blessed to have known her for many years at Kohls. She will be greatly missed.

Paul, Megan, John & Brittany,
Chris was an amazing person. We met each other at Church and then worked together at Kohls. Chris each one of you with the passion she has for everything she did. Paul - you were her rock, her support system and her soul mate. John - you were her first amazement of what God helped your dad and her create. She was so proud of you, your accomplishments and what you stood for as a young man and person. Megan - you were her second amazement and someone she aspired to be like. Your personality, zest and charisma was something she often talked about. She was an amazing and loyal friend. Apparently, God needed her more in heaven. Know she is watching and protecting you (and keeping you in line) all of the time. I will miss her deeply.
God Bless, The Fitzgerald Family
April 9, 2014
Dear Paul, Megan, and family. Please know that we are lifting you high in prayer during this time! May the Lord touch your hearts and bring you a sense of peace as you grieve. May you know in your heart of hearts that Chris is watching over you and may you feel her presence.

Dear Foley family-
The BEHS choir students and I were so sad to hear of your loss. Chris was one of the "cool" moms to talk with, always upbeat, willing to roll up her sleeves to get the work done. She also radiated love for her daughter each and every time she spoke of her. I am praying that God gives you some sense of peace in a situation that seems senseless. May He bless you and carry you through these dark times...
Love, Kari Doepke

So sorry to hear about Chriss. She will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Paul and the kids. We are glad to have had the pleasure of knowing her for so many years with the kids in school and sports together.

My deepest sympathy at the loss of your wife, Mom and daughter. Chris was a wonderful soul, very caring and compassionate about everything she was a part of.
Kohl's is going to miss Chris dearly. I have enjoyed getting to know Chris over the years at work and loved hearing the stories about her pride and joy: her family.
May God Bless you and guide you all during this difficult time.

Jack, Pat, and family -
We're keeping all of you in our prayers - that you may cope with your loss of Chris, that you may feel the peace and love of God, despite not understanding why He took her home so soon, that you may find comfort in each other and memories of your beloved daughter, wife, and mother. We are sorry that you've been asked to suffer this.

We're so sorry to hear about Chris's passing. She will truly be missed.
With Chris's years of experience and down to earth nature, she was always a steadying force when workplace drama would arise. I'll miss her calming influence.
We'll all miss hearing stories of her family and will raise a toast to her at this year's Irishfest.
April 9, 2014
Megan,(Paul and John too)
We are so very sorry about the loss of your mom! It won't be the same not to sit next to her and cheer all of you on! She smiled at me Monday and said she was glad not to be the mom of the pitchers!
She will be remembered for her smile and encouraging words.
You are all in our prayers!
