So, so sorry to hear of Chris’s passing and my deepest sympathy to all of her family. I have such fond memories of the two of us getting all “dolled up” in my house back in 1978/79, listening to the Bay City Rollers, before going to the Wesley RFC disco on a Friday night for under 16’s! Also remember getting the “Wicklow” bus to Chris’s house on a Friday after school and staying for the weekend, Delgany being so far away in those days! In more recent times we had a great night out in the Olympia theatre seeing the Bay City Rollers live! Great memories to cherish. We were born in the exact same year on the exact same day and used to tell people we were twins! The innocence of it all back in the day!

A truly amazing, unstoppable woman, so bright and always full of quick witted cheer. I learned so much from working with Chris. My memories of her will forever be fond. I am so sorry for your loss Alan, Ben and Emma. Also to Chris's family and wide network of friends who had the pleasure of knowing such a genuinely delightful soul. You will be sorely missed Chris sail away till we meet again x Clare and family
