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 !
