My thoughts and prayers to the famoly. I knew Chris from when I worked at Shore on the Pediatric unit. She was an inspiring, incredibly gracious and giving person who always took the time to ask how someones life was going. It was a pleasure to have known you Chris. RIP.

Dear Buddy and Family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. We first met when we attended First Assembly Of God in Toms River back in the 80's. Chris was so warm and friendly, always had a sweet smile on her face and ready to take care of all the children whether in the nursery or any other ministry. She made the most wonderful desserts! Praying the wonderful memories that you've shared with her bring comfort and peace in the days ahead.
Love and Prayers,
Vic and Ceil Grablachoff

I will miss Chris. We worked together for 15 years. Her smile always lit up the room. She was an exceptional nurse. You knew the babies were in great hands if Chris was working. She was a friend. We spoke about everything from the day to day to Christ. She will be missed. Condolences to the Smith family for this Angel gone too soon.

Chris Smith was the heart and soul of our NICU at Shore Medical Center. Her love, leadership , commitment and dedication to neonatal nursing was nothing short of excellence. Chris was a role model and an educator in the field of neonatal nursing. Our hearts are broken. Sending love and prayers to Chris´s husband,children, family and all of her beloved friends . Chris May the angels in heaven comfort your soul as you have comforted so many little souls here on earth

As a travel nurse, I was only at Shore Medical Center for a short for a short time. However, Chris´s smile, friendliness and knowledge of newborns will never be forgotten. Prayers for peace and comfort to all

It seems like yesterday when you would walk into church; cradle a baby in your arms and smile at some frustrated mom. Your kindness, love and patience modeled the love of Jesus! Chris obviously left a legacy not only for those in your family or recent friends but for those, like me, who realize how she impacted our lives. Prayers for Buddy and family.
