Chris had a smile on her face and in her eyes that would light up a room when she was truly happy and in the presence of friends. Her laugh was contagious. Thank you Chris for allowing me into your world in the short time I knew you. You were a true pleasure and joy who gave some of the best hugs. Peace be with you on the other side. Peace and comfort to your family who will bask in your memory.
