It was such an honor knowing Chris, both in Sunday School and at
Autumn Care NH. She was an angel and special to everyone.

God needed a special angel, and he called Mrs. Stone for the job. I remember she always wrote bible versus on the blackboard every morning before school. My thoughts and prayers will be of you during this time. God will give you the comfort you need through this time.
