I can't believe Chris is gone. She fought a good fight against illness. We sent Christmas cards every year and hers were always beautiful. My hubby and I ate at Carlo's where Chris and I discovered each other again. We started meeting for lunch at Skyline about every two months. Chris gave me good advice at those lunches. We met when we both worked at Skyline so many years ago. Rest well sweet girl.

My heart is broken for Chris's family. It's hard to believe she is gone. I knew her as strong and tough, but giving in away that is rare in human beings. She was my best friend, mentor, guidance counselor, teacher, role model and surrogate parent, and even shared her home and family with me at a crucial time in my life. We grew apart and lost touch in the last 15 years which I will forever regret. I regret that I have missed the opportunity to tell her how important she was to me, that I have thought of her often, and that my life is a million times better than if I had not known her. Rest in peace, you will not be forgotten.
