"Chrissy was a great woman and an inspiration to the entire Stamper family and anyone that knew her. She was a very classy and warm woman that had a grand life that she unselfishly shared with all she came in contact with. Her husband, Donald, and children, Scott, Blake and Kelly, were the focus of her life, but her true loves were her grandchildren whom she doted on and treated as if they were princes and princesses...which to Chrissy, they were and always will be. Losing Chris is a tremendous sense of emptiness and sadness. I know she will be with me and here to call upon in times of need. She will walk with me and all of whom she loved. Her warm and loving legacy will be everlasting and as her license plate read \"Gladtobme\" ... it will resonate and follow her memory forever. Love to all, Andrea"
