"Trent, Blake and Kyle,An angel gets her wings. I was blessed to have met Chris so many years ago....was her coworker and friend. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a long conversation with her to talk about our lives, the cancer, and to let her know how she touched my life. You see my husband passed away from cancer and Chris reached out when he was diagnosed and after he passed away to and talked with me about it from the cancer patient perspective.....we talked about many things and she helped me understand how the cancer patient feels and at the end of that conversation I was able to tell her what an inspiration she had always been to me and that I loved her. One of the most important things to her was the quality time she could spend with "her boys" and as long as she felt well enough she was going to spend every minute enjoying them. May God bless you and help you during this most difficult time. Like many others, Chis made an imprint on our lives that we will never forget.......and I'm certain her special qualities will live on in "her boys". Chris lived with such dignity.....may she rest in eternal peace."

I was blessed to have Chris sit next to me during a tasting with Dianne and she gave me great words of wisdom regarding family and children. I being a mother myself working long hours realized that she was right about the time I should spend with my children. So more hugs and kisses for them because a mother took the time to really get a message across. The day after Chris went to the Lord, I was working another event and flowers were delivered from the two of you. She crossed my mind and agian reminded me that life is precious. She was a special lady and will be missed by many. God will help all of you left behind for the years to come. "

We shared our stories of having two boys, losing our hair and life. I was diagnosed with cancer a year prior to her. She has fought so hard and continued to live her life to the fullest for her boys and family. She was a gift to so many. Please know we are all praying for you.

"Our Family isn't that big. I've realized that because living in Barcelona, I guess people here in Europe just do it a lot, When they talk of their families they say "I have 12 Brothers and Sisters, 57 cousins, 30 aunts, and I don't even know if I've met any of their children." Well, in our family I never felt there was really a difference between Aunt, Uncle, Mom, Dad, brother and Sister, Cousin, niece and nephew. Nana and Jojo were in a whole different category, but that is for a different website and they usually charge your credit card 14.95 a month! Simply, I remember this about Chris...her smile, her way of always seeming as if the world was having fun because she let it, that meals were times of joy and wipeouts on seadoos were just an excuse to lay in the hammock and feel the breeze in the trees, smell the wood of the cabin. watch everyone enjoy life on the dock, with a fishing pole in hand, or making Romanian potato salad in the kitchen,. These are things that I won't miss because she is no longer here in this life, because she is in a happier play, but because she gave us so much more than memories, she gave us her soul. As friends and family we experienced something special. we experienced a woman who showed us the meaning of not being selfish, but rather living her life with giving us gifts of joy, and happiness, love, caring, and understanding, each and every day. And rather than cry and morn her passing, we should embrace the gifts she gave us, and carry on those precious gifts each day. We were blessed for a short amount of time by someone who taught us how to care for others before one another. That lesson has no timeframe in life. That lesson was passed on to us to quickly, but complete. As I am unable to travel to the service this week, I hope all of you take a moment to recognize Chris for what she gave each of us in this life, and that each of will continue to provide her love to those most dear to us, and we will never forget how preciously we were taught to be better souls because of Chris. God Bless each and every one of you, and God Bless the Bayley and Bennett Families as they accept the loss of their loved one. I know my family and I will pray silently. But, let this be know, I'll never forget how her and kim scared the living sh__t out of Mike, Dana, and I with those masks on Halloween one year. It still haunts me, although with a little smile now. I love you, my cousin, my friend. P.S. Don't let Jojo, and Richard, My Dad, Dawn and Judy take to much money from you at the poker table. They've had a little practice. I'll sure you'll catch on quickly. "
"L.H. and Diane,We are so sorry of the loss of your beautiful daughter. May God grant you strength during this very difficult time and may you be comforted with your many special family memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers."
"Dear L.H. and Dianne; I send my heart felt synpathy as you say your earthy good-bye to your precious daughter. It is with sadness that I learned from Kim that her battle was over. However, as a Christian she has won the victory, no more pain or suffering. God bless you as you greet friends and accept love from those so dear to you. God does provide comfort through hugs and words of caring. Dorthy"
"I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Chris or her family but I read her obituary yesterday and immediately felt the loss.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss."
"Dear Trent, Blake, Kyle, Kim and Family,My thought and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Chris is an amazing and brave person. She had enormous courage, strenght, and love for her family in her battle to fight. I am with you in spirit, prayers and love, Roz."
"To Chris and her family,Chris and I were friends in college. You meet very few people in your life that are as truly good and kind as Chris was. It was never disingenuous, it was simply who she was. She was kind to all, friendly, funny, compassionate, beautiful and earnest. She really loved life and those around her. I remember one summer at the lake Chris and I flipped the Bayley's Wooster runabout at high speed right in front of the lake house and Mr. Bayley. It was a little scary surfacing with the boat upside down. But there was Chris, surfacing, laughing and asking if I was alright all at the same time! That was so like her. She was truly a wonderful person in every way. She will long be remembered fondly by all whose lives she graced. She, her husband and sons, and the extended Bayley family are all in our thoughts and prayers. God bless Chris and all of you.Jeff, Claudia, Everett and Olivia Hamilton"
