  • My deepest condolences to Mark Sr., Mark Jr., Mercedes, Marvie and her family. Chris was my co-worker for 12 years and I was also fortunate enough to call her my friend. She was hilarious and we always laughed a lot when we were together. I am heartbroken and a small part of me still can't believe she is gone. She was so kind and generous to me and I will miss her deeply. I am relieved she is no longer in pain and she doesn't have to fight anymore. Rest in peace my dear friend. I'll miss you. - Posted by: Angie Turner (Friend/Co-worker) on: Jun 25, 2016

  • I am so sad to hear of the passing of my friend Chris. She took me under her wings 15 years ago in BPR for the Winnipeg Police and we shared many laughs, tears and she was always there for me to give me a hug, laugh, support and just being a wonderful person and friend. I am so thankful that Chris came into my life, she helped me personally through my parents deaths, my separation and I am so very blessed to have known her. I will really miss her, I know she is in a better place with no pain and reunited with her mom and others. Rest in peace my beautiful friend, love you Deb - Posted by: Debra Chwartacki (Good friend ) on: Jun 25, 2016

  • As you are well aware Mark, I too have walked this mile some 20 years ago when I lost my first wife Karen to cancer, so I can personally say that I know the pain that you & Mark Jr are experiencing. Time does not heal all wounds but it does ease the emotions you will go through. Be strong my friend. My very deepest sympathy, thoughts & prayers are with you and your family - Glenn - Posted by: Glenn Poole (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2016
