Between a laugh and a tear...

…for Chrissy!
(1951 – 2003)

Truly you are one of the special people, you are much loved, and will be much missed.



Our Lady

As I sat there quietly
gently holding your tiny hand
I perceived a glimpse recognition
that clouded eyes could not restrain

The sparkle of your eye
always clear to those that knew
And I wondered of the memories
circled within your whetted mind

With the breaking of a smile
often are the times that I recall
Of a fair and gentle lady
who saw far beyond the guile

Through the trials and tribulations
we saw your heart and your resolve
And when you quietly slipped away from us
you left us smiles among the tears

So full of love and dedication
that’s how we’ll remember you
Our dearest little Chrissy
our lady to the end




And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand ~ Bernie Taupin

that line sweetly captures the essence of this very lovely tribute. A touching gifting of your verse Eddie, to someone who obviously made a wonderful impression on all she met. My condolences on the loss of your loved one, youve done her a beautiful justice with your words dearest poet sir.

Your beloved Krissy must have gathered so much strength from your love and support. Now she sings among the angels and is smiling as she reads your loving words.

God bless you both...
Love & Eternal Light
