“Christine was a bright light in the world and her warmth unending. I remember the cousin visits in Southfield and how fun getting together was! It was always great to see everyone at family events! Chris grab Elli when she was a baby and swung her around for 20-30 mins with squeals of delight! So blessed. We hope the reunion with your Mom, Dad, Uncle Harold, Aunt Elvia and mom (Carolyn Haapala) is grand! We live forward in your honor. Jill, Shelli, Elvia (Elli) and Jodi Strenzel-Gibson”

“Chris had such a warm, calming presence. We were friends and colleagues. I remember going on work trips and always being relieved to see Chris. She was always happy and always had a great outlook on any challenge we were facing. She was very loved by her colleagues and customers because she made everyone feel like family. Chris will be missed but never forgotten. -Chris M.-”
