I am sorry for your loss. I knew Chris when she went to Xavier. She was very smart and fun to be around. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Boylan Family,
I got to know Chrissy through some time spent together in Chautauqua and New York. She had such a unique sparkle and beauty!! I was always struck with the interest she took in others and the joy she found even amid her challenging circumstances. She will remain alive in our hearts as a true inspiration for what it means to live in the moment and embrace whatever life brings with dignity and love. We are SO heavy hearted for your loss and will be regularly keeping you, and especially Rebecca, in our family's prayers.
With our deepest condolences,
Jennifer, Tim, Isabel, Julia, and Charlotte Kingston

Dear Boylan Family,
I was so deeply saddened and shocked to hear of Chris’ passing. I had not talked to her in a long time, but she, Dave and I shared some wonderful memories living together our first year in New York. As she was a fellow Theta at UT with me, we moved up there together. She found us our great apartment on W. 74th St. where we had some of the best times of my life. I will never, never forget her or her friendship or the good times we shared.
It is hard to imagine her not being in the world. I will always remember her as a shining light, always looking on the bright side with a smile on her face.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers,

Dear Boylan Family,
I was just telling my mother the other day that "Chris Boylan was always the very best one", speaking of the stellar group of ladies that were her close friends in high school.
Though we haven't spoken much in years, I can't believe she is gone and I am so, so sorry.
Chris taught me to love the Jackson Five and Simon and Garfunkel. I have fond memories of listening to music on her record player in her room and dancing around. In the crazy world of high school, I always felt like Chris really "got" me. I have a feeling I am not alone.
Many blessings to you all,
Brooke O'Brien Ferguson

Melanie and Pete,
I remember babysitting little Chrissy after we moved to Fawn Ct. Such a sweet little girl she was. Though I never saw her (or you) much after you moved, Aunt Ellie and my Mom have kept me abreast of her battle and it breaks my heart that she is gone, for you and her daughter. I understand she gave it her all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I hope fond memories soon replace your sadness.

Pete and Melanie, Rebecca, John, Pete and Debbie - what wonderful memories I have of my life with Chrissy. Although we had only a relatively short time living in the same city, we spent absolute quality time every time we were together. Thoughts of those times will make me smile again and will bring you all through your grieving -- which is what Chrissy wants us to do. God bless. Love, Aunt Ellie

Dear Boylan Family,
I am so sad to hear about Chris. I went to junior high and high school with her in Dallas. Honestly, I have not seen her in ages, but she made such a big impression on me. I just cannot remember a time when she didn't have a smile on her face. My thoughts are with you and your family for your loss.
