Chris was a lovely, thoughtful woman who always made a point to remember what we had chatted about last visit and ask about my family, regardless of her own worries or how she might be feeling that day. She fussed over whichever dog came to visit. Her positive outlook and concern for others was an inspiration to me. She was a gracious soul and I will miss our Monday night visits.
Your mother was always very pleasant during my short visits, usually to meet Pat for an outing, She was always very friendly and seemed interested in what we would be gong to do. Susan and I will have you all in our thoughts and prayers.
It was a blessing to have gotten to know Christine over the past few months while working at Briarwood. I can honestly say I looked forward to seeing her smile and talking with her. She will be greatly missed!
Delia- I’m so very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. My condolences to you, Pat, Maureen and Sean, and your families. We spent so much time at your house in high school, probably making Chris and Jack nuts. Although it’s been decades, I can still picture them clearly. Hug your dad for me.
Dee and Family- I was sorry to read about your mother’s death. I recall meeting her at your home when we were in high school. She fondly talked about living in Louisiana and obtaining her MSW degree. She was the first person I knew who had an MSW, and I appreciated her openness in talking about graduate school. I credit my friendship with you and my conversation with your Mom as sparking my motivation to get my graduate degree in social work. May your family receive peace, and may you be comforted by wonderful memories. Dea Epley Birtwistle
