My sincere sympathy to Joe, Vincent, Margaret, Helen and extended family.
Chris was such a beautiful person and a wonderful kind teacher. I have great memories of my early school days in her classroom in Cloonfane. She nurtured a love of music, singing, performing from her church choir, concerts in Carracastle hall and performance of Snow White to a full house which she alone directed!! A legend..
A truly wonderful long life so well lived. Rest in peace Chris and thanks for the beautiful memories.
