Pete, sorry for your loss of your wife. I bet you both had great times together and try to remember them always. It must got to be real hard on you and your family. Best of luck to all of you, as I will say a prair for you and your love ones. We had some real tough times together in the D Company of the 2/8th 1st Cavalry, Divission, Airmobile in Vietnam, in 1966-67. We had went on a lot of recon patrols, ambushes, firefights, air assults and all types of missions together. Keep your spirits high as I now it's got to be rough.

Dear Chris, My fondest memories of you are the many nights we just enjoyed watching something as silly and benign as "Deal Or No Deal!" with you pumping your fist in the air urging the contestant to take just one more chance going for the thrill rather than the prize. In many ways that reflected who you were at heart....the thrill of life surpassing the price we often have to pay for the prize. When I think of you, what comes to mind is your amazing intellect. Whenever describing my sister-in-law to others, my first brag was how incredibly smart you are. You had a memory, recall, and interpretation far surpassing the average soul on Earth. You will be sadly missed but always remembered in the hearts of Cathy, Johnny, Peter and me. You were a loved and proud addition to our family. We love you and pray our prayers will pave the the path for your soul to find love in the comfort of God.

Full of light, love, good spirits, and passion, Chrissy will be remembered and appreciated by those whom she left here on earth. Complete with her life's journey this lifetime, she joins God's light free of human suffering and with the open arms of our creator. Love and blessings to her soul mate Peter who remains here with us, and who is greatly loved and cherished.

Pete & Chrissy, Your intelligence, wit and vibrance remain the lasting imprint of our friendship. Your loyalty and patience in wedging me into the computer age are with me even as I write this missive. Your surpassing loyalty and love for each other are a marvel to a middle-aged bachelor who still lives in hope that he could ever be as companionable as you are for each other. God Bless you both.

Chrissy, you have touched the lives of many, and we are especially grateful for your kindness as you have reached out to those who are even very different from you. There is no doubt that the Heavenly Father has a very special task for you in the spirit life. May we remember the time well spent in this earthly life, and may we meet again in the heavenly palace of peace.

Dearest Chrissy and Pete, God has blessed us with our meeting each other in this life. You both are the only two people we have ever grown so fond of in such a short time. We are very saddened today of Chrissy's departure. We will treasure our memories of Chrissy and you forever. We will pray always for Chrissy and for you Pete. We are honored that you chose us as your Business partners. You both could always call us whenever you needed us and we would be there day or night that you requested. You are two special people that one could only wish to meet in their lifetime. You both deserve so much for what you have given to the world. Pete, please take care of yourself, it is what Chrissy always wanted. Peter, you know that Chrissy always worried and worried about what would happen to you. Lets let Chrissy see that you are pulling thru alright, lets make her happy and lets give her a smile. Pete, remember Chrissy is now without pain and surrounded by all who will love her. Chrissy is gone today, and we will all join her tomorrow. Pete, again, please call us in whatever you may need. God bless you and Chrissy. Always all the best,.... Maggie and Ralph

Hello Chrissy, I'm a good friend of Peter. We use to work together many years ago. When we had lunch, he would call you to tell you he is having lunch with me. When he talked about you, his eyes would lid up. He would pass the phone to me so I can say hello to you. He loves you so much. I just want you to know, I'm thinking of you and my prayers are with you and Peter. You have angels watching over you! With Love, Laura

Chrissy, I am one of Pete's first cousins. Welcome to the family. I'm sorry we've not had the opportunity to meet. Pete's Dad was my Mom's brother. David and I are so sorry to learn of your illness. I'm sending up prayers for you and sending you positive energy and warmth. Based on what I've read in your guestbook, you're getting that from everywhere and have some wonderful, loving friends. I hope you feel it from us every day. I wish I lived closer; I would love to meet you. Hugs to you, Cousin Celia

Dear Chrissie, I tried Pete's email as I had it in a letter forwarded to me by Teri Drew along with the guestbook link, but not another email address for you. I just got my email addressed to Pete as a bounceback so am using the guestbook link. I am sorry to hear about your hip from Terri and hoping you a comfortable recovery from it and stay in hospital. It must be very painful. Don't be too brave! Go Liz Taylor on this one. Pain is not good for healing. You did not get to have a very long honeymoon before this happened, but I know your honey is with you so the moon part can wait. Please do not bother yourself with getting back to me. I am sure you are getting a great many well wishes. I will check with Teri on Sunday when I get back for Palo Alto to see how you are doing. In the meantime, if you or Pete think of any little chore a neighbor can do, please call land phone 415 401-7653 or cell 415 310-9252. I will see about getting a proper card to Pete's email address for you. I like the yoyo cards at hallmark and you might know them. I am hoping you are back in your lovely home soon. That is probably the best medicine. A non-sectarian prayer is on its wing for you and a YoYo and Hoops card. With many wishes for you to be back in Noe Valley looking at you pretty flowers as soon as possible. Virginia

Chrissy, I know Pete from the D/2/8 assoc. I've had cancer twice from all that crap they sprayed in Vietnam and right not I'm cancer free( 6 years ) I had the cemo and radation so I kind of know what you are going through. You can beat this stuff, you just have to set your mind to it and go through the crap. I will keep you in my prayers and get better because Pete needs someone to take care of him just as all of us Nam guys do. Jim Taylor D 2/8 66/67

Hey Kiddo! Hope you're hanging in there and feeling better! Ryan's doing his homework, and I'm cooking (burning?) dinner... Got in from Kristin's in Sequim, WA yesterday, she's hanging in there too! Just so you know, they told her that she'd never make 30 years old, 'cause her diabetes is so damn Brittle! Well La-dee-Dah for Dem, Mon, she's pushing 45, and going strong! Kristin's a little down this week, though. Her friend and next door neighbor for many years passed away at 80 over the weekend, but you've just GOT to HEAR (read?) Dis Mon: Marcy wasn't supposed to go on cruises and hang around drinking and smoking for more than 6 months... when she was 67! Fight the good fight, Chrissy, we're all pulling for you! When you're better, we have a nice big boat waiting for you in the Caribbean! Norm (he brought the stripper to my bachelor's party) has it all figuered out. Violate the "No Having Fun" rule however possible (I taught him myself!) Love and Hugs! Bill and Ryan (We've got your back door!)

Duhhhh? what week?, um - Thursday, December 06, 2007 at 20:43:51 (CST)

Chrissy and Pete, It's been a while! You two were the FIRST two people I met when my [now] wife and I moved from Washington, DC to San Francisco nearly three years ago. We had just moved here from the East Coast and knew no one. I believe you introduced yourselves and an hour later I believe you were buying my third round of Guiness! Meeting the two of you that day was such a wonderful introduction to this city... you personified what I loved about this place when I had visited before moving here. Before living here, compared to the East Coast, I had found this place to be friendly, tolerant, and laidback- which was exactly how you two were when we met. You were (and are) such generous, down-to-earth, approachable people and everytime I visit the Valley Tavern (unfortunately only a couple times a year) I remember the first two people I met in San Francisco. I am sorry to hear this news, but even in the two or three brief encounters that I've had with you both, I can tell that with your strength and resilience, NO two people are better equipped to persevere and fight this fight. My best to you both and you will be in my thoughts. Take care, -Tom Parke

Chrissy, I have been reading each of the emails that Pete has been sending with much interest with regards to your progress. I have realized in life that it is not what happens to us that matters but how we handle what happens to us that counts. Positive attitude is all around you as well as coming from you. You are truely an inspiration the way you and Pete are handling this. Cancer has been around forever and we all have it in our bodies, and who understands why in some of us it comes out and some of us it hibernates forever. I believe that stress and attitude play a big part as well as our holy spirit using us as messengers for the rest of us. As a messenger, you are setting an example on how to handle what gets put on our plates and the old saying, 'the glass is half full vs the glass is half empty' comes to mind. I have seen people pass away with less than what you have and people who are still living happily with much more than you have and the key was in how they handled it. Humor and laughter is a key as well as positive attitude and sharing. You and Pete have them all and spread them all to those that will listen. I thank you for this and I am forever one of the listeners! My heart is with you each passing minute. Please give my love and hugs to Pete as well as to yourself. Hope to see you soon, hopefully when Pete finds me 3 or 4 of the Steamer Trunks that I so desperately need! Love, love, love, xoxoxoxo donna and clan (the boys)

Hi Chrissy, I contacted you about 3 weeks ago and Peter came to take pictures of my furniture. I just wanted to send you a note of cheer. You were such a pleasure to talk with and Peter was very sweet when he came to take the pictures. I know you have been in the hospital. I hope you are doing an feeling much better. I just wanted to tell you that I have a friend in her mid 80's who was diagnosed with breast cancer within the last 6 months and she is now doing wonderfully. So keep your chin up because you have lots of people rooting for you. I felt an immediate connection with you on the phone. I keep you in my prayers and thoughts. I know you will continue to do well.

Hi Chris, I am deeply saddened for you with the news of your diagnosis with cancer. David mentioned that he had suggested marijuana milkshakes as a way to decrease nausea and increase appetite. I've read that this can be an extremely effective approach. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and Peter. My thoughts are with you in your fight against this pernicious disease.

Chrissy, Chemo is not the easiest thing to endure, but with God's love and our best wishes you will. Liliane goes to Lone Tree tomorrow, 93 miles up the I (I-25), over Monument Hill (7300 feet). The last four weeks she has been well enough to drive herself. I point this out because the chemo did make her slightly ill, knocked her down but not out the week after the "big dose." There are pills you can take to counter most the neusea, and marvelous things the docs and nurses can do to keep your strength up. If at any time you want to talk please call us (remembering the time difference. Mountain time is an hour ahead of Pacific time.) Ed and Liliane St. Clair 719 545-5168

Dear Chrissy, Our hearts are saddened so deeply by these news, Raul and I are offering our humblest & sincere prayers every single day to the Great Almighty for your recovery. We strongly believe, that he hears all our prayers. My sister had breast cancer years ago and I know she needed so much help in driving her to and from her treatments, and lots of assistance at home. If there is anything you need, just anything! ! Please don't hesitate in letting us know. The only good hope we have today is that there are much more successful cancer treatments than years ago. Please remember that attitude is very important. My brother just got diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago, and was told that his positive thinking was so very, very, important. He is now finished treatment and so far the Doctors like the results. We know The Great Almighty has Special Plans for all of us, but we pray hard every day that his Plans be Extra Special ones for you and Peter. Sincere Prayers from your Caring Partners,

I am sending all the softest warmest wishes for you that I can muster and that's a lot since I am most fond of you! Absolutely, call upon me if there's anything that I can do. You and Peter bring big smiles to the Church Street area when you stop by and it's always wonderful to attend one of your sales with your enthusiasm and calm care. I've heard that support and love make a huge difference in a healing path. Given all the people who love you, your path hopefully will be smooth and effortless. Fondly, Madeline P.S.

This sucks Chrissy and Pete. Sucks sucks sucks. We've got a sister in law who is fighting valiantly against breast cancer. Another sister who owns a screen printing business made tshirts that say Cancer Sucks. It's the truth. Let me know if y'all need tshirts and they're on their way. We love you both and will be praying for your strength. Stan and Patricia

Hello Chrissy: I'm not sure you will remember who I am, because it's been a very long time, but Peter can help you remember me. I just want to say how sorry I am to hear this bad news. I know you are a very strong person, but we all need somebody to lean on when times are hard and this is clearly the time you will need all your family and friends who love so much. If there is anything I can do for you or Peter, please let me know. I will pray for you and Peter, so please take care and stay strong. I went to Copenhagen in August 2007 to visit Henrik and he asked me if I had spoken to you guys, but I was sorry to say I had not. I will pass on the news of your health to Henrik and Joe Morehead. God be with you. Herman

Dear Chrissy, Sending you just a few things: love; great gratitude for your unstinting friendship and empathy over the years, regardless of if I was making a fool of myself or not(usually was!);offer to do any nursing duties, errands, dusting, bird tending(yeah, I know Ruby hates me) --and if you ever want company for viewing lifetime tv while you recover, I'm yr. girl. I don't have to tell you to keep your spirits up as I know that your spirit is strong and clear and in a more elevated position than us average pooh bears. And you are in the beautiful house you created out of that spirit and with Pete who loves you so, and with Ruby looking on jealously, what more could you want? Except I hope that when you do feel up to it you will want to be taken out to a fun girl's lunch. Please Chrissy and Pete, you who have been such good friends and guides to our community, know that we would feel fortunate to be able to do anything in our power to help out now. Much XOX to both, Virginia PS. Call antime day or night if there's anything I can do and I'm on it. Home: 415-401-7653 Cell: 415-310-9252.

Hi Chrissy, We only met a few times in San Francisco when I was there on business. Pete was on my staff for a short while, and I always enjoyed visiting with him. I was sorry to hear about your medical problems, and will keep you in my prayers. Meanwhile, please try to keep Pete in line, as much as you can (and as much as is possible). Bill

Hi Chris, I have just received your e-mail and am floored beyond belief. I would like to see you and wish that I weren't across country, though it sounds you would like to not be overwhelmed by the people who love you (me being one) and maintain some calmness during your therapies. I will be home during the Christmas season and in the meantime, I send my love and prayer in your direction. I really do wish I were there right now. You and Pete are really important to me. If there is anything I can do in the way of networking on the East Coast or, whatever it be, please do not hesitate to reach me. I will continue to check in.
I love you,
Terri

Dear Chrissy and Peter,
I'm so, so sorry. I am sending prayers that you both have all of the strength, courage, love and support you need as you move through this. I am extending an open invitation to visit (or pick up) complimentary food and tea from Lovejoy's, whenever you are up to it. Tea sandwiches and scones make great comfort food, and tea is always a great healer!!!

Dear Chrissy - I felt sick for you getting the note from Peter today. I have to say that I am really pissed off as well as feeling horrible for you and what you will be going through. This sucks totally. I hope the chemo doesn't make you too ill and I certainly hope that it helps. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Even though we don't know each other very well, the few times I have seen you have been fun and you are very spunky! I will be thinking positive thoughts for you every day.
With love,

Dear Chrissy,
We met and got invited at your house party a few years ago thru Peter who did a great job for couple of my clients of selling their homes. I am so so sorry of what have happened to your health. Please remember that you have so many friends that loving and caring of you which gives you the strength of going thru the process of such harsh therapies; and remind yourself of being happy at all the time even at time of being down tone.There is a saying that I have read "force yourself to laught, you soon find something to laught about." by L.

Wow! What a shock! I wish you the very best and great success with your treatments. From what Pete says you are a strong lady. I just lost my sister-in-law to breast cancer. She fought long and hard as you are and survived a long time through sheer stubbornness. Attitude is everything. I will check frequently to see how you are doing.
Again, my very best to you,

Geeze you guys! So sorry to hear such challenging news. I know that Chrissy's in good hands in your care, Peter. Remember, you've been through quite alot yourself, and you're head and shoulders above the average bear when it comes to aptitude. If she's the woman of steel, you make a very fine couple! As the eternal optimist, I will await news of the impending miracle as soon as it becomes evident. There is no more likely couple to pull it off than yourselves! I'll also inform my more pious compadres to put in a good word for you with their respective Almighty Connections. After all, if they believe it, it will probably help.
Hugs to you both,
Bill and Ryan, and Kristin

You have a strong soul and vitality about you!!! The voyage will be tough for a bit before you take that road to recovery. Please remember and know that the supernatural is here at work just like the invisible wind that blows. I refuse to accept this passing illness. I have great confidence and conviction that you will not give into this terrible diagnosis. I surround you with light and protection through my daily prayers. Think wellness and I will pray that with each passing day you will be renewed and strenghtened while you sleep. Remember always that THOUGHT BECOMES REALITY... Please don't hesitate calling on me if there is anything I can do for you.ps. Let's meet at the Dub or Bliss and have a glass or two when you get well!!!!

Chrissy,
I couldn't be sorrier! I know you are a trooper and will be in our prayers. I'm not sure if Peter told you but when he mentioned having a dr. appointment last week, I just had the worse feeling and asked if he was okay. Guess I was a bit off target. Greg and I will do whatever we can do to help. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and PLEASE call if you need anything!
Love and Best Wishes!
