I am deeply saddened by the loss of this beautiful human being, we worked together for years and she always had a sweet smile and a kind word. I loved speaking Spanish with her, at a time, when it was rare to find people that spoke Spanish. My condolences to her family, my prayers are with you. Chris will be missed by all who knew her, she enriched the lives she touched.

Thank you God for bringing Aunt Cristina into my life as child and until adult hood. It was a wonderful Blessing to seeing Aunt Cristina last year during my visit home to Fayetteville, AR last summer during the Memorial Day weekend. I want to thank you Aunt Cristina for letting me reach out to you back in 2002. I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me during a time of my personal crisis. My father was terminally ill during that time. I was overwhelmed with my new journey in life I had accepted a new job role and I was moving to a new state. I want thank you Aunt Cristina for showing compassion and giving me the encouragement to move forward and not missing out my new opportunity in life. Aunt Cristina, you will missed by family and friends. You are Gods angel now. Bogddy and Ashley. You are in my prayers during this difficult time in the loss.
I had known Cristina since she was born. In fact my father the late Dr Francisco López Lima attended her birth in the City of General Roca, Rio Negro, Argentina. I remember Cristina as a lovely, happy child; she was her parents joy. I feel blessed to have had Bogddy, her mother, as a Literature teacher in high school. Bogddy was by far one of my best teachers. She became one of my best friends, a mentor and the inspiration that contributed to my coming to United States to obtain a PhD . Cristina will be missed by us and her family and by so many friends that she made along her outstanding career.
Our deepest sympathy to Bogddy, Ashley and her children.
Rest In Peace Cris.
Oscar and family
Cris took an introductory class in cultural anthropology from me decades ago. I had an hour between classes and I often spent a part of that hour visiting with Cris. It was apparent that she had an exceptional gift for empathy, kindness, and caring. I was not surprised that she chose to become a social worker. Helping others was a perfect professional fit for her--few of us have the capacity for compassion and strength that Cris had. Cris was there when we needed her with advice and encouragement. I echo the sentiments expressed by so many that Cris was an angel. She helped so many when they were having difficulties. Her patience and understanding were truly remarkable. Please accept our condolence. Cris' family and our community have lost a jewel.
