I am at a total loss for words. Chris and I were close friends back in the day and remained friends. My prayers to Mark and the family.
I am so sorry for the family‘s loss. Chris was one of the kindest, sweetest people I worked with in the school district. She cared about every child every day. She will be dearly missed.
My condolences to the entire family. My fondest memory of Chris is when we were in our 20’s we would watch Days of Our Lives on the phone together.. hardly a day went by that we didn’t do that.
MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. I WAS IN 8TH GRADE AT NORTH CATHOLIC WITH CHRIS. WE WERE IN THE SAME GROUP FOR OUR CLASS TRIP TO THE BROOKFIELD ZOO. SHE WAS A GREAT CHILDHOOD FRIEND. RIP MY FRIEND.
