Chris was just a treasure to everyone she came in contact with. We grew up as neighbors and finished school together. I loved her dearly and will miss her. I will be saying prayers of comfort to not only her family but also all others that loved her.

I loved Chris! She started keeping my 3 children in the hospital daycare in Grenada, then at Bubblegum Buddies, and at another daycare in Grenada. I moved them every time she moved because I loved the way she loved my kiddos! They are grown and have children of their own but still remember her fondly! We were blessed by her love!

Chris was an amazing person. What you see is what you got with her. I loved that about her. She was always there for me and my boys, Zack and Tre. She listened to me cry many a time and offered true advice that only a true friend could. She helped me raise my boys…especially Zack. He just loved his Miss Chris and Mr. Walter. Although he could be a handful, Chris knew how to talk to him in a way that I so appreciated. She loved Zack for Zack. She was kind to me in a time when no one else was. I first met her when I was working at Factory Connection and from that moment on we were friends. I could not have asked God for a better friend. Walter, Crystal, and Brittany, thank you for sharing her with me and my boys. We will always be grateful and will always have fond memories. Although, I am not able to be there physically with you celebrating her life, I am with you all in my thoughts and prayers. You all were her greatest accomplishment in life. She loved you all so very much. She will be deeply missed by all of my family. I love you all.
