Chris was one of those people that you tried to help, and she ended up helping you. I can’t tell you how much she inspired me with her love and commitment to her family. She judged no one. She always had room for everyone in her home and in her heart. Nothing was too difficult to tackle and she always found a way to get the job done. She was smart, kind, and had a great laugh. I will truly miss her and will always remember her spirit.

She was always there for anyone and never judge you. I can remember when i was a kid to always keep my head up and that she was always there for me.

My cousin Christine, I will miss our talks. When my mom passed away you where there for me. I will never forget. I know you and mom are up in heaven having a blast. You and mom are probably getting hit in the head with mom mom Grier s black pocket book. I’m so glad we talked this past year. God must have brought us together. I’m so sad. You are such a caring person that will be missed by so many. I love you and I will miss u.
Love your cousin,
Dawn Robertson

Richard Grier
Although we had not seen each other in years it was like we never missed a beat whenever I saw you. I don’t remember much because I was very young, but one of my best memories of The East Side was you and your sister Lisa. You 2 always looked after me. The barefoot bad kid =). Thanks for those memories.
RIP.
Little Richie.

So sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a very special lady. She loved you and her grandbabies so much. I met her when she came to Dr.McDermott ‘s with you boys years ago and continued on when Crystal brought her baby boy to Dr.Walter. I retired 3 years ago but often thought of her. Always a smile in good times and not so good. Please know I am thinking about you all. Keep your memories close to your heart.Nurse Beverly ❤
