My sincere condolences to the family of Chris. We've been friends for 45+ years and I have always looked forward to her adventures on FB. She cherished her kids, husband, & Dad.
Thanks for teaching me how to ride a unicycle when I came to visit my grandparents on Muirfield!
Gone too soon, my friend. You'll be missed by many.
