John, Katie & Davey,

I haven't been in touch with Chrissy for the last 9 years. I was living with my elderly parents and caring for them 24/7. I recently tried to email Chrissy, but wasn't sure if I had the correct email address. After seeing this death notice, I feel extremely sick. I lived below you guys on Waterloo Rd and that's when I was blessed to meet one of the most wonderful gals I've ever met, "Chrissy". She was a beautiful woman. She was a great mom and was so happy to have found John. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that I thought Chrissy was definitely a genuinely loving and caring person. I wish I could have kept in touch with her, but caring for my parents was a full time job. Please accept my deepest sympathy and my prayers.

Love.
Mary

Aunt Mary & Uncle Ross,
I am so sorry for your loss. This has to be so difficult on her family and husband. I speak for Judy and Jim & Janet also in wishing you comfort at this very sad time. Someday, I hope to see our entire family of loved ones in heaven where time is not a factor, as it is on earth. So thankful to have talked to Chrissy through Facebook or I would have never known my cousin. God bless you. I love you and am praying for you......Shirley
