Dear John, Tash, Jordy and Maddy Our lovely Chris has passed, what a great lose to this world. Her inner beauty will live on in you girls and her passion will be a comfort for John. What a brave battle she fought. We have great memories of when all our kids were small, supporting each other through difficult times, with the aid of cask wine! Chris accepted life’s ups and downs with such tranquil grace. She worked so hard to provide a great life for you all yet never complained. Your aunties are all here for you always. Bye Chris be at peace Love Deb, Paul, Sam & Leon xxxx

Dear John, Madison, Jordan, Natasha & Family, Our sincere condolences to you on dear Christine passing away peacefully. We are sending our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for you all and sad that Christine lost her battle. She showed incredible courage on her journey. She was such an inspiration to us all. She was a loyal friend and colleague with a beautiful soul. Queenie joined me at Artisan in 2008 when it was just a three man band. She has been an integral part of growing our business over the last 15 years. I nick named her Queenie because she brought both tenacity and a sense of calm to work and was respected by her colleagues and clients alike. She had a beautiful soul and always made people feel special. She was a Queen at work and a Queen to her family. She leaves a legacy and is truly unforgettable. The Artisan family will miss her dearly. Much Love

Mindful and caring, your eyes across the room, we shared new beginnings, a home, 3 wonderful girls, friends a plenty, memories fun and regretful, gone too soon, your eyes across the room, will be sadly missed. Love Michael & Sandy Clark

Maya Angelou quoted "........people will never forget how you made them feel". For all the years we have known each other, I have felt your genuine friendship and your kindred spirit. Thank you, Queenie, for sharing your beautiful light with me through the years. I will always remember the "feels" and hold you dearly in my heart. JoJo

The most stylish classy beautiful lady .So strong and brave . I will miss our chats You will be soo missed , RIL my friend 🩷

Beautiful Chrissy....you're sad passing at such a young age is so unfair. Your energy, your wit, your nurturing soul and love of the girls deserved a long life of joy. Tragic, but warmly ironic that you passed on Mother's Day, we miss you, but know that your name will be spoken and memories rekindled every Mother's day and oft in between. Your beauty inside and out lives on in our hearts.
