So sorry for your family’s loss. Chris was a wonderful neighbor of ours. 🙏🏻
I remember Chris when she was at the hospital...fun gal ready to help anyone, dedicated worker. Heart of gold. Cheers to the good old days- I'm sure your wings are all ready and waiting.
Deepest sympathies to Liz and family. I remember the fun we had on movie nights, birthday get togethers, music in the park and road trips. I will always keep you in my heart. Chris will be deeply missed.
I always enjoyed talking with Chris when I was at Evergreen visiting with my mom when she was a resident there. I’ll always remember her kindness to my mom and everyone She gave my mom a puzzle glued to a board of kitties to hang on her wall as she knew how much my mom loved kitties and she gave me a beautiful puzzle of a horse and carriage I’m so sorry for your loss.
I enjoyed talking with Chris when my mom, Vivian Simon, was at the same assisted living facility. I loved her smile, and her perseverance in doing puzzles! She was a blessing to me. So happy she's at peace now! God's blessings to her family! Thank you, Liz, for sending cards from her. I cherish the last one she actually wrote in and signed. Sending my love, Pam
