Mike & family, 
Chris & I were always so happy when we saw each other, it meant we had made it another day, month, year.  She was a very special lady who worried more about others than herself.  The Lord has a very special place for her & you will always feel the special memories she left with you & your children.

To the Zawisky Family:  I was saddened to read of Chris' passing.  She was a big supporter of our instrumental music lesson program for the years that I taught at St. Vincent de Paul School in Springbrook.  So much so that I believe that I had the pleasure of giving lessons to four of you while I was teaching music at the school.  Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad and difficult time.

Dear Zawisky Family:

I knew Chris through Bishop's committee at St Vincent De Paul Church. Chris was a lovely woman and so upbeat all the time. I always looked forward to seeing her at prayer group and she always had a hug for me. She reminded me of my Mom and I was glad for that. I recall one meeting where we women were all gathered and she made it a point to sit next to me. She said I made her laugh and that made me smile. I know your memories of her are many and she fought a good fight to be with us this long. Her smile and cheerful way are what I'll remember. This world lost a good woman but heaven gained a wonderful angel. 

May God's Love and Peace enfold you at this time

Dear Mike & Family,
We are so sorry to hear that Chris is no longer with us. She is now your Angel watching over her Family. She was a wonderful, kind & generous friend. We will miss her. Our prayers are with all of you. So very sorry we cannot attend the viewing or funeral. God Bless.

Dear Zawisky Family: I offer our deepest sympathies to you all. May your sadness be lightened knowing that your wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother was a kind soul who touched so many with her thoughtfulness. Her infinite sweetness will linger with all who met her. Feel comfort in family and friends as you celebrate her life and spirit.

Dear Mike and Family.  Our deepest sympathy and prayers.  May God give you comfort and peace during this time.

Words cannot express how saddened we are on the loss of my dear Aunt Chris. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  She will forever be in my heart. I am grateful for the times that I spent with her albeit too brief.  She always made me laugh and I will never forget how impressed I was by her positive attitude and sense of humor when faced with adversity. I will also say that she was frequently right and I probably should lighten the color of my hair. :-)

Love always,

Mike, With deepest sympathy on the passing on Chris.  She was a wonderful wife, mother and women. She will be missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.  Judi and John Hamms

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.  I know how close you were.  I remember when you looked forward to visiting home when we were in college; you and your mom would watch movies together.  You were her only girl and she depended on you and adored you!

Chris will long be remembered for her work with the  Elma Historical Society, she was an excellent President and a good friend to all.  Our synpathy to the family.

Mike and family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Chris was a wonderful lady. My prayers are with you and your family!
take care  Carol Gilgunn

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
