Chris and I were good friends at Maryvale High School in Phoenix. Chis was a kind, sweet, and outgoing person. She was always there to listen and offer advice. I am not surprised that she became a counselor. She always talked about having a big family and really enjoyed being around kids. I know her family was the most important thing to her. She will be greatly missed.

Chris, was my co-worker and friend for almost 20 years. For most of that time we were together doing home based services around Marshall County. She was a wonderful and kind person who tried to help everyone. When I think of Chris, I will think about the fun we had and the laughter!! She was one of a kind and I will always love and miss her.
