My fondest memory is every memory of her that I have. She was strong, kind, gentle, loving, selfless, giving and forgiving. She made anyone who met her, want to be a better human being. Her unwavering faith in the Lord is something to be emulated. She acknowledged, validated and respected everyone. To say that she was a kind soul just doesn’t seem to be enough. She was the personification of everything that’s good and right with the human condition . She was my sister in Christ and my best friend. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Chris taught me that the family you choose are just as important as the family you are born with, and that a smile and a kind word cost absolutely nothing but can have such an enormous impact on the people in your life. This is something we could all use more of, and the world is dimmer without her light and grace. She will be sorely missed, yet her love, and the way she so effortlessly and selflessly gave of her time and attention will live on in everyone that was lucky enough to have known her. Rest well with the angels.
