Chrissy Jo,
Not aday goes by I still can't believe you left us. You were more go to girl when a emergency happened, back when our kids were so small. I remember calling you & Bud about Josh. You had ask me if you needed to walk over? I told you no, and within 2 minutes or less here came you and Bud. And you stayed with me until Laura got here.
Happy Easter, Chris.
You will continue to be in my prayer's, as well as Bud, Angie,Jimmy and George and family.
Until we met again,
We love you.....

This is/was one of the hardest things I had to do.....

Missing you..... 

Let me go

We've known lots of pleasure, 
At times endured pain,
We've lived in the sunshine and walked in the rain, 
But now we're separated, and for a time apart ~
you're forever in my heart.
Death always seems so sudden, and It is always sure,
But what is oft forgotten ~ it is not without a cure.  
I'm walking now with someone, 
and I know he'll always stay,
I know he's walking He's walking with you, too,
giving comfort every day.
There may be times you miss me,
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me,
for I'll be waiting for you.
Now there's many things for you to do
and lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy
and live your life, 
Miss me, but Let Me Go ~~  author unknown

Love you Sissy!

My darling sweet Aunt Chris...You will be dearly missed everyday until we meet again.  Love you always.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT CHRIS. SHE WAS A GOOD FREIND AND NEIGHBOR. I REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES THAT ME AND DOUG WOULD PLAY YAHTZEE WITH HER.ALL THE TIMES SHE WITH XMAS SHOPPING WITH US.  ENJOYED THOSE TIMES WON'T FORGET THEM. THEY WERE GREAT MEMORIES. IF I CAN DO ANYTHING JUST LET ME KNOW.

Rest in peace Christine.  Some of the best memories of my teen years were my weekends spent at your house with Kim. You were always kind and gracious to me and I never forgot how you welcomed me into your home and life. God bless and comfort your family.

Bud, Angie, Jimmy , George,
We were so sorry to hear about Chris passing.Our prayer's are with you during this difficult time. She was someone if you ever needed anything, Chris would be there. You and your family will remain in our prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My sweet Sissy....what can I say....words cannot express the loss I feel.  The memories I will treasure....staying summers with you as a young girl & swimming in the pool.  Later in life all the marathon card games we would have while talking the day and sometimes night away.  My life will not be the same without you. I thank you for all those times....you made my life fuller and happier.  I will always love and miss you.
