My mother, Sue, told me of Chris's passing. I got a chance to meet her again a few years ago when she came to Arizona to visit. She was a wonderful women, full of laughs and fun. I am so sorry for your loss.

Max,Jeff,and Leslie,
The news hit me very hard when I heard your message on my phone. I was dumbfounded and when I even try to talk about Chris I burst into tears. She has been my friend for over 40 years and I will miss her dearly. I am so glad they we reconnected a few years ago and that she got to come out to Arizona and stay with me and that we got to stay with you a year ago. I remember all of the good times Chris and I had and the memories as well. All of our trips to the lake and even our vacations. She will always remain deep in my life. I love you all.

Max,
I am in shock. Chris was really my sister Sue's friend, but I always felt she was my friend too. We have known Chris for over 40 years although it just seems like yesterday she chose to marry you instead of moving into an apartment with Sue. I am so glad Sue and I made the trip to KC a year ago last October and stayed with you. Chris and I stayed up until all hours talking. We had some wonderful heart-to-hearts during that time. She and I really reconnected. I am so sorry for your loss and I will never forget how special Chris was. Love to you and your children....Chris loved you all so much.

Dear Max, Jeff, and Leslie,
Chris was taken far too soon from us. She was my best friend for eternity and I love her dearly. Memories abound. May you find peace knowing she now lives in the "Mansion Over the Hilltop Where the Streets are Paved with Gold."
My heart goes out to all of you and my arms embrace you.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have so many fond memories of times spent with Chris that we will hold close to our hearts. Some of my fondest are being the flower girl in Chris and Max's wedding, 40 years ago this month, and all the summers spent at the lake laughing somtimes until we cried and best of all being surrounded by family. Chris was very much loved and will be missed by many. If you need anything we will be here for you.

Amy, Andrew and the boys
