IN CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF CHRIS DUNAWAY, THE VERY MENTION OF HER NAME EVOKES WORDS SUCH AS: God, Family, Friends, prayers, loyal, trustworthy, a beckoning smile, caring, sharing, fun-loving, prankster and of solid character. We should all strive to emulate her endearing spirit and her zest for life.
Countless years ago, Chris shared, as Christmas gifts, a daily calendar by Oswald Chambers entitled "My Utmost for His Highest" meaning "Your Best for His Glory". Such was the visible witness of Chris Dunaway's life for all to admire, to respect and to love.
Philippians 1:3 I thank my God whenever I think of you; and every time I pray for you, I pray with Joy.
The family would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to the Benton House Staff and Caregivers for all of the love, concern and attention that they have shown Chris.
