Things you may or may not know about Chris:
1. She swore like a sailor but had a heart of gold.
2. If she called you "bitch" it was a term of endearment.
3. She got a tattoo to celebrate her 65th birthday.
4. She had several tattoos, one of her leg of Snoopy lying on top of his dog house with a think bubble that read "Fuck You!"
5. She wore a ring on every finger, even her thumbs.
6. Even on her tight tight budget of just a social security check, she always sent $19.99 each month to the Humane Society.
7. If you needed a friend you could count on, it was Chris.
8. She took two buses to come over to sit with Bob so I could go grocery shopping or to the pharmacy. She did this weekly for nearly 5 years without expecting or wanting a dime in exchange.
9. She was there every night when I came home from the hospital (when Bob was hospitalized).
10. When we moved into our new house, I let her live in the garage apartment for free. I'll never forget the day she stood in the back yard and said, "Thank you for making my dreams come true."
11. Whenever she was low on cash, she'd have dreams about numbers and she'd play the Cash 3 lotto and always won a couple hundred bucks, exactly the amount she needed. Never could figure out how she did that.
12. She always told me that my only problem was I was "too nice'.
13. I miss her like hell.

I know you miss her, but she's with Bob. Just like she was in life.
I can only hope that there is ONE person who misses me this much, and has this much to say about my time in their life, when I leave. This is a wonderful tribute. Thank you for sharing.
