Dear Joe and Family,
I am so saddened by the loss of your mother. I had only met her a few times, but, she left an enduring impression of love of family, laughter and kindness. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. With deep sympathy, Denise

Chris was such a wonderful person, and her obituary was absolutely spot on. I remember spending what seemed like half of my youth at the house with Joe and Mike. They are some of the best memories of my childhood, and I smile just thinking about them. Chris was right at the center of it all doing what she did best: making sure we were well fed, having fun, and not getting into too much trouble. While I am unbelievably sad that she is no longer with us, I can't help but be comforted that she is with Mike now. I want to send my condolences to all of the family here from out West. Simply put, Chris was a kind, loving, funny, and caring person, and I will always think of her that way.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I remember Christine as a family friend. We all grew up in the same neighborhood in Drexel Hill . I was good friends with her sister Phyllis and I still am.
Chris was a phenomenal cook and always made enough for an army. ( both Polish and Italian.)
She had more energy than Phyllis and I, we were 13! Positive energy even when we got in trouble. ( more me of course)
Our society on earth has lost a great asset and Heaven has gained a new angel. Finally she can join her departed family and that is a plus. ++++
RIP Chris

I’ve known Chris for almost 30 years and she was always so welcoming to my siblings and I into her family, home and celebrations of life. She was at our weddings, funerals and family get togethers. She is a part of our lives who will sorely be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Chris’s passing. I never got a chance to meet her, but I feel like I know a little of her through Joe. Every bit of kindness, warmth, and wit had to come from somewhere, and I’m lucky to know her son. I’m thinking of your entire family during this difficult time.

Aunt Chris will always have a place in my heart and memories. The times I spent celebrating Fourth of July, Christmas Eve or a swim at the pool were a staple of my childhood. I could always count in her for a laugh and some sarcasm. They truly don’t make women like her anymore. She will be greatly missed and remembered always.
