Last night my beautiful bride left us to be with God in heaven. She fought an amazing battle with lung cancer for the past five years and two months, but succumbed yesterday. She was peaceful and in no pain at the end. The kids, her parents and I were with her. We are beyond devastated at the loss of Chrissy. She was the light in our lives and the rock that we all relied upon in our family. I know many of you also knew her well and will miss her dearly. Nothing will replace her spirt and passion, but we will endeavor to keep her memory alive in our reflections on time spent with her and the joy she brought to our lives.

 

A wake will be held for family and friends from 4pm-8pm this Wednesday July 14th, 2021 at the George Doherty Funeral Home located at 477 Washington Street Wellesley, MA 02482 with a funeral mass at St. John The Evangelist Parish at 10am on Thursday July 15th, 2021. The church is located at 9 Glen Road Wellesley, MA 02481. A reception for family and friends will follow at Wellesley Country Club located at 300 Wellesley Avenue Wellesley Hills, MA 02481.

 

One of Chrissy’s final wishes was that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in support of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (where she received her treatment). This can be done by donating to the Pan Mass Challenge and my ride this year. Both Chrissy and I have been very involved in supporting his worthy cause since her diagnosis in 2016. I can not say enough good things about the care Chrissy received or the compassion from the team at Dana Farber. They are truly incredible people.
