"Although I didn’t know CK well, I found her to be a very positive and caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family today as they bid her farewell."

"I worked with CK at AALHA what a great lady she will be missed My thoughts are with the family Sorry for your lose"

"C.K. was considered an angel on earth by everyone she knew. I was blessed on more than one occasion with the gift of working with her and she was always there for me and everyone else on the team. She continually amazed us on a daily basis as she organized meetings and guided everyone throughout the day. Her sense of quality, her integrity, dignity and compassion was felt and witnessed by everyone that she interacted with and because of her we all became better people. She always presented herself in a polished and a professional manner and knew no strangers. C.K. was a wonderful Mother and deeply loved her children and her grand children. She was filled with unconditional love and would always say "love you friend" before we left work for the day and after our phone calls. C.K. will live on in our hearts and memory forever and she has left her foot prints in the sand and our souls. "love you friend" Sherri Mills"

"Ck was a wonderful mother, sister and grandmother! She loved her kids and grandkids unconditional. CK was a grandmother to my children and they loved her dearly. She was like a mom to my husband and I . CK you will be greatly missed and we will never forget you! I very glad that my fmaily met a wonderful, professional women and proud that my kids call her Grandma CK!! We love you CK! I will not say bye forever I will say bye for now!"

"I had the honor of being CK’s "boss" and friend during our tenure at a Mesa hospital in the early 2000’s but my relationship with CK felt more like a "sister". When she walked into my office each day, light would just radiate from her gentle spirit. She brightened many a dark day for me. CK had a knack for making the person she was with feel special. When you were friends with CK, she could only see the positive in you and she let you know in words and in actions how treasured you were. She was the ultimate cheerleader---someone who could rally the troops and get people excited about something. And her laugh--how I loved to hear her laugh! And yes---purple is now one of my favorite colors too. "Go figure" as CK would say. Under the surface, CK was like an "old soul" to me, deeply intuitive, insightful and wise. It always felt like I had known CK all my life. She often said "You’re a keeper" and that we were "forever friends". We shared many soul-level thoughts and conversations and I could feel completely safe that my secrets would be held close to her heart and never be shared with others. When she trusted you, she opened herself to you as well, and shared her loves, her fears and her joys with you.She was one of the most authentic people I have ever known. CK loved her family more than anything. Her children and grandchildren were her life. Although my heart is broken by this loss of my dear friend, they have lost THE BEST mother and grandmother. Shannon and Shawn, Krystal, Jason and grandchildren, you have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. I miss you, friend. But I know you really are with me forever and that we will meet again. Love you friend.."

"I am shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of such a wonderful and caring person. C.K. will be missed, but her light will forever live on in our hearts and the countless numbers of people she touched. I knew her for only 3 short years and had the opportunity to serve with her on the Beatitudes DOAR project. She was so helpful and giving. I was so pleased when we could work for the same company, she was always inspiring to me. How blessed I am to have known this angel on earth as I’m sure she is in heaven tool. Remember she has just changed forms and lives on in our hearts forever. I thank her family members for sharing her with us!"

"CK was like a mother to me. Even though she was truly my mother-n-law, I never looked at her like an "n-law"! She always supported us and was always there when we needed her. Kaylee and Kameryn miss her so much and the love she gave as a grandma was so warm and so kind. She was an outstanding professional, I always looked up to her. She knew all the right things to say and could find a deal any where! I will never forget my time with her and will always keep her close to my heart! I love her and miss her so much!"

"I had the opportuntiy to work with C.K. several years ago. I am blessed that our paths crossed in life and that I had the opportunity to meet such an amazing woman. I will never forget the love she had for her children their spouses, and her grandchildren. She had the biggest heart and was caring and compassionate. She was an angel on earth and is no doubt an angel in heaven! I will remember her for so many things,,,,her passion for the color purple, her infectious laugh, her enourmous heart, and her famous words...."Love you friend" My heart goes out to her family...you are in my thoughts and prayers,,,,her legacy lives on in all of you! Rest in Peace C.K.....Love you friend!"

"She is my mom! I am at a lost with out her. I am not sure how I am going to live my life with out her. She loved her kids so much, but the love she had for her grandchildren... I couldn’t have asked for a better grandma for my kids than her. She was the strongest person I knew, will never meet another person as special as her. I am proud to say I am her daughter. I am proud to say I am just like her. We love you Mom! We love you Grandma!"

"CK was my strongest supporter & made sure I never lost sight of my goals. I value the time we spent together & will always keep her in my heart. My thoughts and prayers to the family."
