Chris will be much missed by friends and family. She was a splendid colleague, hardworking, enthusiastic, excellent project leader, full of ideas and receptive to others ideas, and so many other positive attributes. Perhaps best of all, while making a more than full contribution, she didn't let work rule her life and had achieved a very effective life/work balance. Her holidays on horseback all over the world were such highlights.
I was very saddened and shocked to hear the news about Chris in April. I have many happy memories of helpful discussions with her when she was the subject librarian for sciences. Always easy to talk to, and a great sense of warmth. After a long time of not meeting, I had the pleasure of a chat with her last year when we bumped into each other as I walked to the University. It was good to catch up, and she was chatting about her retirement. It's so sad she didn't get the time to enjoy a longer retirement. She was a lovely person.
