A wonderful lady, much loved by all who knew her. Taken too soon with much life still to live. Sorely missed by all her friends and family. Rest in peace Chris. No more pain.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
