I was very young when Chrissy, Clayton and Jimmie were neighbours 'on the point' in the 50's, and I have never forgotten her. Chrissy was such a lovely person, full of happiness and generosity. She was a friend of my Mom's while they were there, and my elder brothers were friends with Jimmie. As a teenager I often used to stop in at Laura Secord just to say Hi, as I had such fond memories of her. I'll never forget her beautiful smile and wonderful laugh. My sincere condolences. - Posted by: Colleen Whibley (Neighbour at Barrier Bay) on: Jan 20, 2013

Had many happy get-togethers with Auntie Chris through the years. She was a little spitfire. Lots of fun. Happy memories I will always have. Rest in peace Auntie Chris. - Posted by: Dodie Harrison (Niece) on: Jan 19, 2013
