My deepest sympathy to the Chrisman family Her husband Richard, was my coach and teacher at Clever High School. Had a lot of influence on my life. Joan was always very supportive and helpful. Brings back a lot of memories. May she rest in peace.

With heartfelt sympathy, I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1, 2)
