I worked with Chris At RGIS. We became fast friends and rode together many times sharing stories, laughing and creating mischief. She was such a sweet-hearted person who stayed positive even through her hepititis treatments. She doted on those grandchildren! She made my own daughters "special" fish tanks and crafts. :) I am so saddened by her loss. My prayers are with her mom, daughters and grandchildren. May God comfort you and keep you in the days ahead and bless you with many special memories of this wonderful woman. To think of her you can't help but smile.

Dear Sherri and Jack and family,

I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this terribly sad time. Loosing your beloved mother at Christmas time makes the loss seem so much more difficult. I know your hearts are very heavy today but I pray that as time passes they will fill with beautiful memories of all the wonderful times you shared with your mother.
