To Chris, one of my very best friends that I am so blessed to have in my life! We have been such support for each other through all the trial and tribulations in life. We also knew how to have a great time! I know I will never forget our cruise, P.V. Mexico, and one of my last flings before motherhood in Richland. I will be so lost without you! I will miss the “Hey Lady” popping up from instant message, the emails and especially all the long phone calls! You were always so supportive of me through out my life. You encouraged me to push harder in my career, to take the risk of starting my own agency and the biggest and best decision of my life, to have my baby Garrett that had always been the dream of my life. I know you will still be there to help me with my other tough decision, I will feel you in my heart forever. I will tell you one thing my friend; you have touched so many lives and made so many wonderful friends. You are truly one special lady!

I love you Chris!

Your friend forever,

Love Deb

To Jon, I am so happy that you and Chris were able to spend the last couple weeks in your favorite place together. You always had such a great time in Mexico. I know how much you two loved each other. I love you Jon and will be there for you today, next week and months down the road when the tough stuff hits. You just let me know when you need something.

You are in my prayers!

I was so sorry to hear your sad news. Marguerite Boatright, my mother, called my sister, Rosemary Gallo, and me in Phoenix, Arizona to tell us that Chris had died. I know how much our older sister Anne Buckingham loved Chris and how happy she was to be able to see her and spend some time with her in Puerto Vallarta. My deepest sympthies to all of you. I will keep you close in my thoughts and prayers.

Chris: Every day I looked forward to our chats and I will forever miss you and your happy e-mails. Love, S

John,

I was very sorry to hear of Chris’ passing. We worked together at Moody, and I always considered her a wonderful friend. I will always think of Chris with a big smile and contageous laugh. My condolences to you and your family.

You will always be my role model and someone I will forever look up to. Thank you for all of the wonderful Super Bowl and holiday memories. Thank you for loving my family as much as you did. We love you so much words can’t explain. Thanks for always believing in me and encouraging me to be my best. Your emails kept me going when school and life were bringing me down. It brings peace to my heart knowing you were in your favorite place with your friends and you wonderful husband that last weeks of you life. All my prayers and love to your family an everyone you have touched. I look forward to seeing you again in the heavens. I LOVE YOU! Love, Christine aka Chris Jr.

Some of the best times of my life have been in the company of Chris and Jon. She had my heart right off the bat with her honest appreciation of good rock music. Her ability to share her laughter, love and friendship with all those around her, was Chris’s gift. I will truly miss this lady.

Jon-

I hope to see you soon. My heart aches for you friend.

Since you left nothing feels quite right, but I know there is a party going on in Heaven.

You are my brown-eyed girlfriend and I will always miss you!

Love, Anne from Wyoming

Chris and I were long time friends, from first meeting at Dr Brubakers office until the present.

I will truly miss here infectious laugh and always high spirits.

I met Chris when I moved to Denver and began working with Moody Insurance. She had the most wonderful laugh and I loved getting to know her. We have stayed friends through job changes, moves, CIC classes and funny diets. I miss her more than I can say.

Love,

Sherrill

Chris was a very generous and caring person. Her heartfelt laugh and friendship will be sorely missed. She had a very deep love for Jon and her family and we send them our thoughts, prayers and love while getting thru this very difficult time. We were very close friends while living together in Casper and we will always remember the hot tub parties on the back deck with the music blaring!! When thinking back to those days we also remember her love for her Tasha, her cat and know she would love the donations to the animal charity that was chosen. Although we both left Casper we have stayed in touch thru the years and always knew that we were just a phone call away. In looking back, we wish we had made more phone calls then we did. Although we will miss her, her loving spirit will be with us.
