Christine Hession Obituary

Dear Kay and family,
We were deeply saddened when we received your note today about the passing of Christine. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We ask that God will help you through this difficult time.

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. Ruth Ann Mahaffey (author) ©Copyright 1998-2006

I am so very sorry for your loss. There is nothing to say to make this time any easier. Just think of your memories (I know there are tons) and smile. Chris was a beautiful person. She will be with you always!

Kay,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of your daughter Christine. I didn't know her but after reading all of the beautiful testimonials expressed in this guest book, all I can say is that you must have had a very special daughter.

May you draw strength from your family and all of your many friends during this difficult time.

God bless and take care,
Pat (Grace) Buttle

Christine Marie Hession was the most amazing girl I have ever met in my entire life. When my eyes first laid upon the magnificent beauty she encompassed I was awestruck. Her jovial character was literally flawless. She never had one mean thing to say about anything. She always went out of her way to make everyone around her happy. Chris had an auroa that was visible from a mile away. Once you met her she had a way of influencing your attitude in a tremendously positive way that you could never forget her. I know I never will. I will love you infinitely Christine Marie Hession.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Dear Hession family,

Chris touched everyone she ever met with her ability to light up every room she stepped into. Though I only knew her for a short time she will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always.

Kay,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your daughter, and regret not being able to be with you during your time of greatest need. Please know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Time may have passed us all, but Chris's passing brings on such sadness and sorrow!! When Chris was young, Reenie and I did our best showing Chris just how to crank (sorry everyone :-)), toss a salad at a house (sorry), have a parade at midnight (good timing) or how to be as crazy and funny as ever. (at least we thought it was all funny :-))From what I understand, she did a great job!!! My heart and sole go out to the entire Hession family!!!! You will always have a special place forever reserved in my heart!!!! Chris will leave me with fond memories, and never be forgotton!!! I love you all, and God Bless!!

Dear Hession Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Hession Family,

Our prayers go out to your entire family. We are truly sorry for your loss. You have our deepest sympathy.

We are both so sorry to hear of your awful loss. You can be assured that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Chris, u were my best friend and partner in crime. I love you so much and miss you terribly! I will cherish all our memories! I will pass down our crazy antics to the boys! I LOVE YOU BRAH!!!! love u always,Reenie

My thoughts and prayers to the Hession family during this difficult time. I remember Chris from grade school at St. Damian and haven't seen her since but when I heard the news I was taken back to grade school all over again. Peace to you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I went to Marquette with Chris and no matter what, she was always smiling and having a good time. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hession family as you work through this difficult time.

Noreen,

After hearing all your stories over the last few years I really felt as if I knew your sister. I am truly sorry for your loss.

You have always brightened my day during our monthly appointments, and I hope that somehow I can return the favor the next few times we get together.

Mike Doherty

I would just like to express my condolences. I didn't know Chris very well, but I had a few classes with her at Marquette. Please know that she was a very upbeat and fun girl, and she was always willing to help out others. She had such an infectious personality, and she always had people laughing. I know she will be greatly missed.

Dear Kay, Danny, Mary Pat and Reenie,
Our thoughts and hearts are with you all. Christine was like a ray of sunshine, and words cannot express our sorrow at her passing.
Love Tracy, Sophie, Arthur and Kieron

Dear Kay,
How do we find the right words at a time like this. Ray heard from Danny and Jack McGuire last night at bowling. She will always remain in my memory as that beautiful, tiny, sweet little blond. How we all fussed over her at Queens.
I will certainly remember her in my prayers forever.
Think of you often.
Love,
Dolores and Ray Mercier

Mrs. Hession, Danny, MaryPat, and Noreen. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I went to McAuley with Chris, she was a beautiful girl inside and out. What i remember the most is her smile and her upbeat personality. Chris was always friendly and genuinely cared about others. I know she will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Chris was a wonderful girl. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends.

Hession family,

I'm extremely sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that Chris, as well as your entire family, are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

My thoughts, prayers, and sincere condolences are with the Hession family and all of Chris' friends.

MaryPat & Mike,
We just want you to know that there is not one second of the day that goes by that we are not thinking of you and how much pain you are feeling in your hearts. You are in our prayers and are very sorry for your loss. If you need anything, please let us know. We will be here for you. We love you two very much.

Dear Hession Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it has been years since we have last seen each other, but if you need anything, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Sincerely,

Melissa Corcoran (Gonzalez)

Dear Hession Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Chris. Chris was a good fiend of my sister Colleen Holland and a friend of mine as well. When I first met Chris, I knew right away that she was someone that was full of life and love. Eveytime I was around her, I felt loved and welcomed. Chris had the talent to make everyone and anyone feel special. She had a beautiful life and soul and I know that I will miss her so much. I only wish that I had the chance to get to know her better. Chris had so much personalty and I know that with every person that she encounterd, she brought a smile to their face. Chris was the kind of girl that when she walked into a room, the room would light up. I know that every time I was around Chris, I was never without a smile. But that's who Chris was. She had the talent to make everyone smile, even if they didn't want to. I hope that you all get through this very tough time together and know that no matter what, Chris is with all of us, smiling and going through life with each and every one of us. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Hession, Dan, Jen, Mary Pat, Mike, Noreen, Emmett, Brendan & Tommy,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Christine was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be truly missed each and everyday. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Chris’ family and all who knew her. Her contagious laughter and sense of humor were so that she could brighten even the darkest of moments. She possessed a unique knack for bringing out the best of those around her and I will miss her dearly. Her family and close knit group of friends will carry on her memory, which we will all never forget. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Christine was a wonderful person. Always smiling and laughing. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Many at Marquette are thinking of your family and you are all in our prayers.
Gina Matranga, Marquette

Hession Family,
We are sorry to hear about Christine. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

The Hession Family-
I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Chris very well, I knew her through Kristin Schindler, my roommate at U of I, but every time she came to visit it was a fun and crazy time. Chris was full of energy and always made everyone laugh. Kristin always talked about her and would have us cracking up at every story. I could tell Chris has touched many lives and how much Kristin, and all of her friends truly love her. She will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry for your loss. Chris was a great person and will be missed by many.

All are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. With much love, Katelynn Hussmann, a Marquette friend

Mrs.Hession,MaryPat,Danny, and Noreen,
I know there are absolutely no words in the world that will help make your heart stop breaking right now. I do know that I find comfort in knowing that Mr.Hession has his arms wrapped around his little angel right now loving her and guiding her. Together in heaven they are watching over all of you!
She was a little sister to so many of us, a little sister EVERYONE LOVED to be around! Her smile is one I will never forget. God Bless and Love you Christine. XOXOXO

Love,
Patty, Ric, Brenden, Abbey & Jonathan Davis (Corkery)

To The Hession family:

Chris and all of you have always been dear to me and like my second family for so many years. I'm so sorry to hear the news and wish that I could be there with you all through such a difficult time. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and if you need anything, will be there at the drop of a dime. Chris was an amazing person and always made the best of every situation. I couldn't have asked for a better friend in my life and many of my favorite memories include her and your family. Please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do. I love you all very dearly.

I love the Hession family as if it were my own and am so sorry to hear about Chris. I can't make it home for the funeral (I live in another state), but please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do. My prayers are with you.

Kay: I am so sorry to hear about Chris. I didn't know her well, but felt her warmth and genunineness when I was around her. She made me feel welcomed. You, Mousie and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Kay,
The loss of a child is the worst tragedy one could endure. Your faith, friends and family will help to fill the void in the coming times, but your memories of the good times you enjoyed with Christine will comfort you too.My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know she meant so much to so many.
Marianne O'Donnell (Marcia's sister)

Kay and Family - I know there are no words that can ease the pain that you feel in your hearts. But there are many words that can be used to describe Chris. She was kind, caring, thoughtful, loving, fun and much more, and your wonderful memories of her will hopefully, someday, bring you comfort. Yes, she was taken away too young from her loving family and friends, and it is horrible. Please know that I am one of the many people who care about you and are keeping you and your family in their thoughts and prayers. May God bring you some form of peace during this most difficult time.

To Kay and Family:

I want to let you know how sorry I am about Chris.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Christine,

Chris you will be miss greatly. The biggest thing is your smile,kindness and how much fun u were to be around. My heart go out to the Hession family and all her friends. We will all miss you. LOVE YA.

Hession Family-
I am so sorry to hear about Christine. Words cannot express the amount of prayers and thoughts that I send your way.
Kelly Riordan-Farrell

It's hard to know what to say at a time like this, but we wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We are very sorry for your loss.

Chris was an amazing friend to numerous people. When she entered a room, it was brightened by her smile and laugh. She will be greatly missed by the countless lives that she touched.
I knew Chris through her friends at Marquette. She would do anything for those she cared about. Your family and friends are in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Hession Family:
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you during this incredibly difficult time. Chris will be deeply missed by everyone she touched at Marquette. I was truly lucky to have met her. God bless all of you and please know that you are in my thought and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear about Christine. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you.

"Faith is the assurance that the things which God said in His word are true; and that God will act according to what He has said in His word. Faith is this confidence, our reliance on God's word. We have faith that there is much more beyond the here and now, beyond our physical selves. We have faith that we will live forever, in a place of beauty beyond our imagination with God's peace and love. We believe this because we rely on God's word."

Faith is not easy, particularly when dealing with difficult circumstances and tragic outcomes. We extend our love, prayers and deepest sympathy to the Hession family. We will miss Christine's kindness, gentleness and love of life. She was truly a "gentle soul". We were blessed to have her in our lives and will miss her deeply.

Mary Pat and family,
My prayers are with you in this trying time. May God bless you and grant you strength. Christine is in His care now and she is safe.

Peace in Christ,
Lis

You could always look forward to seeing Chris. Her smile and laughter could light up any situation.She was always happy and friendly. She was an awesome aunt to her nephews, an aunt I would like to be someday. I will miss her.

Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Christine Hession. The community of Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School and the SXA/Mother McAuley Alumnae Association are grateful for the gift of Christine's life and mourn her loss with you.

Kay,Mousie and Family --
Chris was so full of life, a sweet and well-grounded young adult. There are no words for this loss of a life taken way too young. Chris will live on a long time in the hearts and memories of so many who loved her and I am so incredibly sorry for this loss for all of you.

Our deepest sympathies for the loss of Christine.

Hession Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Christine. I still remember spending the night at your house in riverdale & watching the Monkey's with Reenie & Christine was so little back then. Your family is in our prayers. If there is anything you need do not hesitate to ask. Love to all of you.
Colleen Sullivan (Riordan)

Christine,
You will be missed greatly by many for your laughter and kindness. You were taken to young, but your memory will last forever in the hearts of whom you have touched dearly.
You will be missed,
Jeff Brown

I am very sorry for your loss. Your family and friends are in my prayers.

God Bless Chris and her family. She was such a wonderful person and will truly be missed.

Christine was the kind of person I like to refer to as the "quiet laugh". Upon first glance you wouldn't think this tiny girl would be the one to have you smiling from ear to ear and in stitches by the end of the evening. Her personality was too large for that little frame. We will always love and miss you Chrissy!

To Kay and Family....our hearts are broken for you and we are so sorry for the loss of our Chris. She touched many lives in her short 22 years of life. She will always be in our hearts. We will miss her so much. We love you guys! Lulu & Jimmy Woolf

As one travels through life, you meet a long list of people that leave an impression on you one way or another. Some you meet and that is it, and others you meet and can’t wait until the next time you meet them again. Christine was definitely the person you could not wait to meet again. Her kind spirit and upbeat attitude was always a refreshing break, no matter how your day was going. When you met Christine, you knew you were not far from a big smile and a kind word. No matter how it was going already, your day was about to get better because she was genuinely fun to be around.

She always thought of the feelings of others above and beyond everything else. While I am sure she had them, in all the time I knew her I do not recall her saying a single hurtful word about anyone. She lived the adage, if nothing nice to say…

Although she was technically my sister-in-law, I always thought of her as my sister and will miss her dearly. Chris, It was an absolute honor to know you and I will never forget you.

Our lady of Mt. Carmel, Please pray for Kay, Dan, Mary Pat, Noreen, and the entire Hession family.
