  7. I am so sorry to learn that Chris has passed away.

    I have many fond memories of her working at Taste Tempta with Anne, particularly when they fussed over me during my pregnancies.

    Chris adored her family and was so proud of them all, which she shared in her stories during chats with me. She was a beautiful lady with a great sense of humour.

    Sending my sympathies to her family and many friends.
