I have known Chris since I was 15, in boarding school in Switzerland (approx. 45 years ago) and as a treasured online buddy in the past 7-8 years. Reconnecting with her was the most profoundly happy moment because she was always someone that I loved dearly. She was fun, funny and always upbeat, despite any circumstance. I just found out about her death a few days ago and it has thrown me completely off kilter. Even though I didn't talk to her every day, I always just knew she was there, so losing her has rocked my world. The past few days have been filled with heavy sadness. My memories of Switzerland seem to all include her in one way or another. She is forever tied to an important part of my life and by being so, she has enriched it. I will miss her so much.
