I am so saddened by the passing of a dear friend of 40+ years. My prayers are with Natalee, Haley, Glenda, Roger, her children and grandchildren during this difficult time. Wishing you peace as your hearts heal from the loss of this wonderful person.
My heart is crushed at the loss of you my dear friend. I remember the first day I met you and your amazing family 46 yrs ago! We’ve shared so many wonderful, sad & happy moments together starting out as kids, growing up, having children & watching our children grow up together too! I can’t imagine my life without you in it, nor do I want to! Until we meet again Fly high my amazing, creative & beautiful friend.
Though it had been many years since I had enjoyed physically being around Cris, never once did I not feel as though she was still my ride or die after 45+ years. I am devastated that she went so soon, and feel an emptiness just knowing she’s no longer around. My heart goes out to all of her large family who loved her and will miss her! She was so special!! We had so much fun as teens, many teachers cannot never forget!
Soar with the angels my dear friend !! Until we meet again !
So sorry for your loss, sending prayers. Sheryl Camper
