My heart is broken to learn of Chris´s untimely passing. The world, the community and Kai and Magenta, have loss a bright light, who carried love, kindness and a giving heart everywhere she went. Chris was so beautiful, inside and out. So many memories of wonderful times spent together as families sharing a meal, as parents navigating the teenage years and as a wonderful friend sharing our joys and challenges on long walks through the parks, the beach and the neighborhood.
I am forever thankful and grateful for all the love, kindness and beauty that Chris, Norman, Kai and Magenta brought to our lives.
Chris I will treasure you forever,

Growing up i called this beautiful soul Mrs. Chris. She always thought it was so humorously odd at first. I spent so much time with the LoRussos. They were my second family growing up and i loved every moment, their care free outlook on life was a breath of fresh air. Every word above is a perfect description of her. My deepest condolences to Magenta and Kai. Your mother was a beautiful light in this world and you two are so lucky to have had her. May her light shine on in you two. I love you both.

So sad to hear of Chris's passing. She and Norman were dear friends, not to mention all of the work we did together back in the day. Kai and Magenta, not sure if you remember me, but your folks were very special to me. My sincere condolences to you both and your family. Two beautiful souls back together again.

My condolences to Kai and Magenta in the loss of their lovely mother. Chris was all of the things written about her. I knew her through her involvement in the Whitrsides PTA. She was an involved parent which is well-remembered. Praying for God's comfort and peace to cover you during this sad time.
