I loved her so much and will always remember her making me sit in the "sleepy chair". She would sing "You are my sunshine" and "Jesus loves me" until I fell asleep. She was the best person I knew. Now I know she's my guardian angel and watches over me.

I will never forget the time when Chris pulled my first tooth. She said so convincingly, "just let me touch it so I can feel how loose it is" and then, it was gone. She has now gone to be with the lord, but her sweet smile, and soft spoken voice will be with us forever!
Sincerely,
Brent and Debra Blough family

I loved Chris like a sister, we shared so many good and bad times together. When she got sick the lst fime and was in the old Southside Hospital I feed her and read to her until Jim came back from VietNam. I could always share everything with her and knew it was safe. I often questioned God for letting such a wonderful person like Chris suffer for so long but now I know he was letting her be an example to others who had to suffer.She was a figher and never complained....I will miss her so much but know she is with our Lord in heaven where she is once again a beautiful whole person with no pain. My prayers are with the family....I love you all, Lynn
