Lou & Family, Chris touched all our lives, we loved her laugh and encouraged it daily. It was so special to see the care the family had for her. We will miss her and all of you. Bingo Fridays will no longer be the same without Chris’s sisters. Lou your spirit and optimism will also be missed. Chris lit up every time you walked into the room. God be with you all. Love always, Laura
