My condolences to you and your family Melissa Cadajas. Much love, hugs and prayers sent your way.?
My sincere condolences to the entire family which Chrissy loved and always bragged about her newest great gran when she had one. I had never played poker before when I met Chrissy at Noahs Arks 3 session Saturday poker game in 2012. I did not believe I would like the game because I could not control much of the outcome and I expressed to her that I may give it up. One day we didn’t have a dealer for the nonsmoking table and I volunteered to pass the cards out as I had grown up playing pittypatt for 30+ years. She was very excited that I learned so quickly and encouraged me not to give up and promised I would grow to love it as she did if I studied and not become attached to the outcome. She picked me up in LaMarque for every game for the next couple years whenever I needed and we also loved our Bingo. Losing Chrissy is a bad beat for me but the opportunity to love and be loved by her better than winning Top Dog. I am so grateful.
My prayers go out to You and your family. My husband and I loved Miss Chris dearly and considered her as family. Honestly, I spent more time with her than I did with my own family. I consider myself blessed to have known her and know that she will be missed by all that knew her. I’m sure that alot of the older players that knew Miss Chris take comfort in knowing that she is up there, back with Miss Fran. Again, my condolences to you and yours.
Fly high miss Chris. You will be so missed.
The world has lost a truly wonderful woman. She will be missed greatly.
