Wow, I am still in shock. I knew Chirs through my cousin Jill. Chris was very much a part of my family. We all loved her. She came to family events and such. Chris could make anyone laugh at any given time. She was a great human being, and we all miss her. I can't believe she is gone. It will be weird without her, but I know she is dancing with the angels! I love ya Chris.
Melissa, I will be over to watch movies with you soon!
