My sincerest thoughts and prayers are with Chris’s family at this difficult time. I am so sorry for such a great loss to so many.
I met Chris while working at Kellogg’s and I have so many great memories with her. She was always so fun to be around and brought levity to every situation. I will cherish the many laughs we shared over many years. I remember when she met John, she knew immediately he was the one. She was on cloud nine. ❤️?
