Robin, Evie, Bill, and family, there is nothing I can say that will help ease your pain, but just know that you are in my prayers, and thoughts, during this terrible time. Christy fulfilled her dream of becoming a mother, and even though she didn't see Olivia Claire while she was still here with us, she sees her now, and I'm sure she's proud. Be happy for that. Some of us never fulfill our dreams, but your Christy did!
Love,
Shirl (Aunt Shirley) Putman

Your laughter will not be heard,
Your kindness will not be felt,
Your smile will not be seen,
But all of these things will not be forgotten.
You have brought so much joy and laughter to all who knew you, you will always be missed but never forgotten.

To the Dermer family- My memories of "growing up" around the Dermers back in H.S were wonderful. They were ALL great people, that you couldn't help but love. They were and still are the most caring and loving family. Although I played ball with Sara and Coach Jack Dermer- Chris was always there to entertain us or support us. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and I am sure Olivia will grow up to be just as wonderful as her whole family is. Sorry about you loss-

Chris was the best friend I ever had. We have been friends since grade school. We endured some very difficult times together.Our friendship was rich with ups and downs. Sadly, we grew apart in ways, but she always remained in my heart. She was very loving and understanding. And I know that the best thing that happened to her was having Olivia. One of the last things she said to me was that she couldn't wait to hold Olivia. I'm sorry for everyone's loss.

I don't know you or Christy, but I believe you have suffered a TREMENDOUS loss, especially that beautiful little girl who will never get to meet her mother. Please accept my sincere condolences, and know that I'll be praying for your family. TO Christy's mom, I know you are heartbroken right now, but the gift God gave you in Olivia will at least help you make it thru day by day. Be encouraged and know that Christy is in peace. She left her mark in this world through baby Olivia, and she's watching from above. Family, I'll be praying for you.
