Condolence: To Francis, Chris’s family and friends: I was shocked and saddened to learn of Chris’s sudden passing when I was away. As a fellow volunteer fitness instructor, I know she was well liked by her colleagues and the participants in her classes. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Condolence: Such respect for Chris, a colleague who made me smile even on tough days. We worked together at the Red Cross/Canadian Blood Services and for a brief time shared an office despite being in different departments. Our commiserations were joyful and therapeutic. A wonderful woman. My condolences to her loved ones.

Condolence: Dear Francis, Carl and Jenny, My condolences to you and your families. During the past five decades you became a part of my life through Chris.

I witnessed the love she had for so many people in her life. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. I will cherish our friendship memories until we meet again. God Bless.

Condolence: Jenny, Brian and family. So sorry to hear of the passing of your sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Linda Earley.

Condolence: Francis, my deepest sympathy for your tragic loss. I remember Chris for a lot of things; a shy young graduate when she came for her interview at the Red Cross whom I would later sometimes tease just to see her blush. I remember her excellent work ethic and the dedicated, experienced medical technologist that she became in her working career. I will very much miss, but not forget her smile and laughter that I continued to enjoy whenever our retirement group got together for our luncheons. Chris made many friends at the Red Cross/CBS whom I'm sure are both shocked and saddened by her passing. I hope that in due time, the many happy memories you have of Chris will soothe the deep grief of your loss. My condolences go out to the Benninger and Brekelmans families as they gather together during this sad time. You will all be in my prayers. ~~ Bruce
