What time is it? oh no, Chris is already at the park and I'm still at home! My day started with thinking of Chris and where she was on the Corrigan Drive, South Park at this time. Loved seeing her car parked at the same spot where I would tie bags of food or whatever to her door handle. I had the privilege of knowing Chris for many many years and enjoyed our time together at the park. Sometimes our talks were serious and other times we laughed so hard we had to stop walking to catch our breath. Her family was "her world", especially her husband Frank. Everyone that knew Chris also knew the names of her sons, wives and especially her beautiful grandchildren. She was so proud of her family! You knew you were a special friend if you got a baggie of her exceptional cookies handed to you for no reason. Her famous line to me was "you cannot change how people act towards you, you can only change yourself and how you handle that situation" ALL the people that knew her along the path will miss her morning greeting, as will I. Whenever I feel like I cannot go to the park, I will think of Chris being there through all kinds of weather and seasons. Inspiration! South Park is now a little lonely and somber without her daily presence. Walk with the Angels!

My deepest sympathies to the Marx’s. I have such wonderful memories growing up friends with Steve and spending time with the family. Chris was truly a special lady. The Reichard’s send their love.
