Working with Chris for 13 years, I got to know her very well. She was a person of extreme faith, strength and commitment to her family, her church and her extended LMC family. She was one of the most hard working and dedicated person I have ever known. She was tough, and every decision was made for the benefit of the school that she loved so dearly. In her final years she amazed us all with her determination to beat cancer, never missing a beat even though she felt so badly.
For all of us who know Chris well, it was obvious the deep love she held for Larry, her sons and particularly her two granddaughters. They were a light in her life, and drove so much of her work at the school. She wanted the Laker legacy to continue for them, and worked very hard to keep that alive. She also loved to talk about the weekend sleepovers with them and how much fun they were.
I know that Chris is in Heaven and in peace. She fought the good fight, but God had a different plan for her. I am sure when he welcomed her into his kingdom, he told her well done, you touched so many lives and it is now time for you to rest.
Larry, may God bless you, and know that Karen and I will continue to pray for you and your family as you grieve this loss.
God Bless,
John & Karen Berlin
