Thinking of one of my oldest friends: she is forever the cheerful and vibrant "Christy", my pal at the lake. We picked blueberries together and ran around with Lisa, the family Airedale. Christy provided happy memories, and was a happy person.
May peace be with you now, and God bless your family, particularly your Dad.
Love from Jennifer Harper

Garen - I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you & your family.

Our hearts go out to the Macdonald family. Chris was a wonderful spirit and "touched" everyone she came in contact with. While we'll miss her, she actually lives on within her daughters and their children. Garen, our thoughts are with you during this tough time... we're all proud to have been part of your lives together.
Love,
The Partners

Dear Kelli and Family, What a strong and kind person your mom was! Her love for horses and all the other animals was unconditional. We couldn't of asked for a more caring "second mom" for our daughter, Melissa. Please know that our hearts go out to all of you. Sincerely, The Meckley Family.

Chris was like a big sister to me while growing up in Westfield. I know that her spirit and strength will shine through everyone that knew her.
