I am very saddened to hear of Chris’s passing. I remember her fondly, she was such a lovely lady, always smiling and had kind word for all of us. My heart goes out to her daughter, Karin, husband, Josef, and the rest of her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May Chris Rest In Peace.
Julie and I send our love and prayers for the family. We’ll always have great memories of Aunt Chris and Uncle Joe. Several times they drove out to Raleigh to attend our annual crabfest to be part of our friends and family. Chris always helped with making delicious desserts that were always a hit. I’ll certainly miss her and her wonderful sense of humor.
I will always remember the few times I had with my precious Aunt as a young child in Indiana and then reconnecting 40 years later. You always had that “special” sparkle in your eyes when you saw me arrive. Your accent reminded me of what our families went through before and after coming to the USA. You will always be a treasured memory and sorely missed! See you in Heaven! Cookie
Kate and I have fond memories when you and Uncle Joe attended our wedding. We were blessed to know you and will miss you!
Bob and I are sending our love and prayers for the family. Aunt Chris was a loving and caring person, with one of the best sense of humors. She always had a smile and always made us feel welcomed. Our visits may not have been many but they were always filled with love and laughter. God bless
Mirko, Peter, Kathy and I are sending our love to the Family and sending prayers. Mirko and I had many good times together with Crystal and Joe over the years. We especially loved their visits to California and spending time with us and our kids going on some memorable adventures together. Crystal we love you and will miss you very much.
