Our family was so blessed to have
Aunt Chris in our lives! She lived with us
off and on and during those times, made
our childhood a delight! So many memories
of making fudge, popcorn, homemade
treats galore! She told me many stories and
we would laugh and sometimes cry until
the early morning hours! She and mom are
the reason I have a love for crafts and have
many things that she made for me, that I
will cherish always! She will forever be
my Sunshine
