Cris has touched the lives of many, she is sorely missed. Cris was a work buddy, and I really enjoyed working with her. Added a few snapshots from long ago. She was a leader in her field and was frequently obtaining awards for her outstanding work.

I met Cris at the bus stop in downtown Los Angeles. We both road the 437 to and from work and developed a wonderful friendship on that bus. A favorite memory of my husband, Trace, and mine is when we traveled with Cris in New Zealand in 2000. Our van broke down in the countryside. At the repair shop, when the owner found out it was my birthday, he brought out a bottle of champagne to celebrate. One of the customers enjoying champagne with us was Ian, a NZ local. He invited us to his farm home who he shared with his wife, Irene. We stayed with them until the van was fixed. 20 years later, Cris accompanied us at our wedding hosted by Ian in New Zealand. Cris was a woman of intelligence and kindness. She had a good sense of reason and was easy to talk to. We will miss our dear friend, Cris, but know she is at peace now with Rama at her side.

I had the pleasure of working with Cris in San Diego in the Guidant/Boston Scientific days. I was the Field Clinical Engineer and she was the monitor for our studies. I would call her my safety net because she was making sure the data that had been collected was correct and complete. We had a great working relationship and would often have lunches together. I will always remember her smile and her laugh. It was always fun to be working with her.
I am terribly saddened to hear of her passing but will always have fond memories. My sincere condolences to her family. Please know that she is a beautiful soul. Rest easy, friend.
