I had the pleasure of meeting Chris a little over 18 years ago. Her smile and always being happy set her apart from others. Chris was always glad to see and talk to people. Plus finding a lady who actually loved the Dallas Cowboys was exciting. Your welcoming manner will be utilized on the other side of the veil. You will be missed and remembered.

Chris always had a smile and such a positive outlook. She and my father had a beautiful life together and loved one another deeply. It was evident that they were a perfect pair. I loved her for all she was and the happiness she brought to my fathers life. We will miss her deeply and know that we will see her on the other side.

I remember going to visit with Daddy and Chris after they first married and was so impressed with her and her apartment. She was first class in every way of the word. The way she carried herself, her hair and makeup and dress were impeccable. Loved the way she decorated her home. I found myself trying to copy some of her ideals in my own home. She smiled a lot and was never unkind to any of us kids. Just wish I would of told her these things. I know she is happy and smiling down on all of us till we meet again.
