Dear Joe and Jason,
My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your wife and mother. I met Chris through my sister, Linda Mastandrea, and my RIC affiliation many years ago. And then I had the great opportunity to visit her at PMG, as I too own a marketing business and she was kind enough to invite me in to see her place and talk shop. She adored you Jason - we had much in common as I have two boys close to your age. She loved to tell me all about you and how wonderful you are...
with love,
Laura Pils

I worked with Chris at PMG some 10 years ago. And all I can say how wonderful of a person she was. My condolences to the Pratt, Sipos, and PMG families

Dear Joe and Jason: I too am very sorry for your loss. I knew Chris mostly through our professional marketing association (SHSMD) but always thought she was a wonderful woman--an excellent role model and leader. I know she was a good mom too. I was lucky to spend some time with her and some other friends in Sonoma last fall and we had a fun afternoon. I feel fortunate to have known her.
With sadness and my deep condolences,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Chris from the time we spent together at the RIC Spine & Sports Rehabilitation Center. I will remember her for her passion towards life, her love of people, and her warm and encouraging smile. May you find comfort during this most difficult time.

Dear Joe and Jason,
I am so sorry at the loss of your wife, mother and champion. I knew Chris from her days at the RIC Associate Board. I was an athlete with the sports program and have a wonderful memory of her sitting down to watch video of me competing in wheelchair racing in Atlanta.
She was a tremendous woman, kind hearted, generous, thoughtful. I am proud to have known her. She will be missed.

Joe and Jason -- We are sorry for your loss. We knew Chris through the Catherince Cook School community and admired her as a woman who did so much for her family, her work and Jason's school. Tom knew her from time in Indiana and knew her as a gifted athlete. Our thoughts are with you. Sara Slaughter, Tom Smith and Family

Joe, Maureen and I are deeply saddened by your loss. I had the priviledge of corresponding with Chris several times during her journey. She was so courageous and has inspired so many others. My memories of Chris are fond. I loved her spirit, humor, and competitiveness (even when she would annihilate me on the golf course). She will watch over you and Jason forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Jason.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I heard many, many wonderful things about Chris through an employee of hers. I had the utmost respect of her for her innovation, perserverence, determination, independence, and creativity. I wish I would have met her.

I'm sure God has a special place for her now, just as He had a special place for her on earth. We are fortunate to have known Chris. You are in our prayers. Tom Burke
