Journal entry by Colleen Coleman

Our family is devastated to share the passing of our amazing Chris.

 

After four days of being home, and with our family surrounding her, Chris left us to be with God. We are terribly saddened by her passing, but are so grateful she is no longer in any pain.

 

The love and support we have received from family and friends has been tremendous; Chris was truly loved by so many and touched an incredible amount of lives. She was a force of nature, and although we are shaken with grief, we are blessed to have her looking over us 🤍

 

Kindly find the below information on her services:

 

Thursday, February 2nd:

The Wake will be from 3-7pm at Donnellan Family Funeral Services, 10045 Skokie Blvd, Skokie, IL 60077

 

Friday, February 3rd:

11:30 funeral mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glenview, followed by a reception at Valley Lo. We encourage any and all who can make it to join us to celebrate her life with us.

 

Valley Lo Club, 2200 Tanglewood Dr, Glenview, IL 60025

 

We will be holding a private family burial at a later date.
