Hello Bork Family, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Chris...I'm at a loss for words right now but just want to mention a few memories. I remember Chris and I going over all of your AYSO stuff at your house while Chris and I enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. Eating pizza at the Bank with the whole family because Scott had us all working on some kind of project. Michael and Jonathan doing their homework and me working on some type of Powerpoint presentation. I enjoyed getting to know all of your family and thank you for making me feel like a family member!! Chris was a wonderful woman and friend., she will be greatly missed!!! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!! Lisa Evans Burnham
