I had several classes with Chris. She was always joyful and a pleasure to be around. Smart as a whip and cute as a bug, she could charm anyone. Will be sorely missed

So sorry to hear about Chris passing. She was the my very first date.  We went to a dance at Brookhurst Jr.

igh in the 7th grade.  We had a great time.  Last time I saw her was at the college attended. Her husband was a substitute teacher in one of my classes.She will always have a special place in my heart.
