Aunt Chris has always been such a treasure to know and to be around – her eternal smile always warmed my heart and put a smile on my face – I was blessed just knowing her and her family.
She will be missed – my condolences to the entire family – she would want us all to continue to keep smiling.

Very sad for your loss. Your mom (Nana) was a lovely, kind, caring & generous lady. Her sweetness is evident in each generation who follow. Fatherly Lord, bring comfort to each one.
