Christine Mulder

To Chris, I never knew you personally, only in passing with a friendly “hello” as we both did our frequent walks in the neighborhood. It was a rare day that I take a walk on a weekend without one of the kids and I almost left my phone at home to get peace. Something compelled me to grab it the day I went for a walk and watched you collapse. I knew when it happened it wasn’t from ice as your knees buckled. After calling 911, I was grateful to see how many people ran to help. From the man and woman who stayed by your side and offered a blanket, those that stopped to see what they could do, and your friend Brian who happened to see who was lying there and stayed as you left in the ambulance. But most importantly, I hope you know how much your husband loves you. He was able to bring you back to life for only a moment to say his comforting words. I will never forget his pleas for your life and the wonderful things he has told me about you after you met the Lord. You are at peace, and I pray for those left in this world mourning your loss. I feel like you would tell Phil to keep up with the walks you loved so much and thank you for all of the years you spent together.

From the first time I met Chris, when she told me to get off her lawn, until 31 years later, I have never had a better next door neighbor than Chris.

My grandma, Chris Mulder, was a wonderful mother to her two children, wife to a husband of 12 years, and grandmother to her 5 grandchildren. We all told her at Thanksgiving that she had 5 to 10 more years to live, but just over a week later, unexpectedly, she passed away doing the thing she loved the most which was walking. 🚶‍♀️On her 72nd birthday she went on the train to be with our Lord. I will always remember all the things we did together. Here's one of the things I will never forget her telling me, "I love you my little twiggy." She was the heart of the family. I will never forget her famous cookies. The day after her death, I had one of her cookies and I felt guilty because she wasn't there to have it with me. She always was the energizer bunny and she was always 99.9% right all the time. I will cherish all the memories we made and the love she gave me. I miss you so much Grandma. I'll see you someday at the pearly gates of heaven.😢😢💞❤️🚵‍♀️

If I had five more minutes with my Grandma: I would tell her how much I Loved and Cherished her and how much I enjoyed making memories with her by doing all the things we loved to do together. I will never forget all the talks we had about "you remember that time when" or how the week went. Although I will miss her dearly, I know in The LORDS good time, I will one day see my Grandma again. I will have all the time in the world to tell her everything that I wanted or will want to tell her in the future, but until then Goodbye Grandma and see you later! 😢💕💕🚵‍♀️
