Just thought I'd let everyone know that 22 of the 29 houses in our neighborhood have decorated for Chris and her family, even households that do not celebrate Christmas. I continue to be awed by the kindness around me.
Chris passed on Wednesday at 5:00 surrounded by her family.

I am sorry to hear of her passing as well. But now the lights will shine in her honor.

What a wonderful thing to do for someone. I'm so glad that your neighborhood did this to honor this woman and comfort her family.
I'm so sorry you lost your neighbor. But just think of the joy you and the others gave her in her final days. I think you are all just wonderful!
You've made a memory that you'll always have and what you did meant so much to the family. And, your outside decorating is all done. All good.
god bless
