Do you know how often you're thought of? How your voice and laugh echo? How I smile when I hear them? How I wish you all the joy and peace you always deserved? How much you're missed?
Happy Birthday, treasured friend.

Christine was a member or our UCWBG Stage 2 group and a neighbor in Lincoln Park. We always stopped to talk when I was walking my dogs. Christine looked so beautiful and carefree when she was outside enjoying nature and the animals. I have lovely memories of her sweet and gentle side.

I know that there are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. Christine touched many lives, and is deeply missed. May the God of all comfort be with you all during this time of intense grief, and always. (1 Cor 15:26) I'm very sorry for your loss.

Chris,
You are and will continue to be a true friend. You called a spade a spade and I admired you for that. You were and are an inspiration to many of your friends.I hope you knew that, if not, hopefully, you see that now from above. You were a true friend to so many. Our friendship will continue not only in this world but the next. I looked up to you and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. You were and are the real thing and I love/loved you for that..Today was a beautiful day and your family was as lovely as can be..They will miss you as we all will..Fly high and feel peace.
Love,
Mel

Knowing Chris has been a gift. We met through our work lives and I am forever grateful that she was my friend. Her passion, intellect, honesty and humor made her one of the most extraordinary people I will ever know. I feel blessed that she graced my life and I will miss her so. I simply adored her. May she rest in peace.

This picture describes her best, the way she always smiled. I will never forget the countless crazy and fun family functions and reunions we had with the Long family, Chrissy always added added to the family fun. As we all know Chrissy left this world to soon but made an enormous impact on the world in her time here and accomplished more than most ever do. "Life is like a play, it's not the length of the play that counts, but rather the performance" Chrissy's performance was amazing. Rest in peace Chrissy, you will be missed.
