I knew Chrissy for such a short period !I met her at ecco July 4th last year she was quite distraught ! I told her she was my angel and she told me the same ! I fell for Chrissy immediately I thought what a beautiful person. She moved into my spare room .We had our differences! both Leo's ! I can't believe she's gone I'm so sorry for her family! I can't imagine the hurt ! Chrissy was a beautiful soul ! I know she survived many hard times in her life ! We had many long talks ! I know she loved her boy's with all her heart ! I could go on and on !Gone to soon Love you Chrissy

My deepest sympathy is extended for the loss of your daughter and sister. My heart breaks for the loss of your Mother; She loved you boys with every fiber of her being. I have truly missed Chrissy's presence at First Baptist Church of James Island. She praised the Lord and sung Songs of Zion as a member of our choir. She lit up the room when she entered with her beautiful smile and personality. May the presence and peace of God sustain each of you in your loss.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I loved and always will love Chrissy. She was one of the best friends I have ever had. Her love for her children and family was unmeasured. She adored her son's and she loved spoke often of her brothers. I moved away and we drifted apart in the last few years but I will always cherish our friendship and the laughter she filled my life with. Myra, thank you for blessing the world with her. You and the family are in my prayers.

Myra and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Chrissy the one year she attended Wando (we ran in the same circle)and she was just so sweet, so eager to be liked and included and you could just tell that she was a creative and joyful soul. I have heard many stories about her as an adult and it would seem as though she was able to keep that creativity, joyfulness and inner light well into her adulthood. And from these stories one also would know immediately that she was a woman of deep, unquestioning faith. I feel very certain that she is somewhere in the ether being the beautiful person she was intended to be;that she is at peace and that not only is she surrounded by those she loved who went before her, but I also feel that a part of her lingers on to watch over her four beautiful sons.
My Most Sincere Condolences,

Karla Lynes

My deepest sympathies, Myra and family.
Love, Karla
