God bless and strengthen the family of my dear friend. Chris will truly be missed. We had many enjoyable visits, laughing and talking on the goodness of our God and our husbands, who had gone on to be with the Lord. She was truly a good friend and I will always love her. Rest on sister. Love,Karen Norwood.
Christanna and I were in high school together at Frederick Douglass in Elm City. As a matter of fact she graduated in the top 8 with honors from a class of 68. Bottom line "she was one smart cookie".
We went to our first class reunion together and it was a blast. It was such a joy to see so many classmates show up and we had so much fun seeing past classmates and reminiscing about past school event; ie, Prom, Class Play (See How They Run, Christanna was Miss Skillor), and most of all how excited we all were about graduating.
We ALL had BIG DREAMS after graduation and hopefully everyone's dream was fulfilled. Eventho I have not seen Christanna in years, I am truely sorry to hear of her passing and my condolences goes out to her family.

Chris was my sister-in-law. She was married to my brother Donnie. I loved them both dearly. No matter what me and my sons went through I could always count on them to be there for us. Chris had a heart of gold and was more like a sister than an in-law. I will miss our talks and us praying together. Enjoy your anniversary with Donnie on July 1! Love you forever. Gloria
We love Chris but God love her more and He was ready for her to be with him. Rest in peace sister.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
