There are no words to say right now to fill your empty and sad hearts. Memories of a brght, funny, loving sister will help and I know you have many! Knowing Chris during St Matt's days was fun and lots of laughter came from family times spent together. I know she brought that spirit to everyone she met.

Dear Bill, Tracy, Jim, John, Nora & Mary... Chrissy held a special place in our hearts and will be missed far more than words can describe. She was a good friend to so many. The Lord often blesses us with angels in the form of friends. Chrissy was one of those angels. She has blessed us with her friendship and understanding when we needed it most. We must find some solace in remembering the Lords' promises that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Death hath no sting for the believer, so we are confident she walks on streets of gold alongside our King and we will surely see her again. May the Lord bless your family with the grace to accept His will and may you find comfort in His peace.

To the Warburton Family,

Even though I didn't have the chance to see Chrissy recently, we have kept in touch for quite a while through the internet. Childhood friends are special - some more special than others - that was the case with Chris. I will always think of her laughing and smiling. She had a special quality and warmth about her. My thoughts are with your family. Chris will be missed so much by so many. With my most heartfelt sympathy,

Auntie Chrissy you will be missed. I was only a part of your family for a short time, but in that short time you made me feel welcome and a part of the family. I will never forget that.
