Our Deepest Sympathy. Love and prayers to all.
Chrissy Dianns beautiful smile and sweet, happy spirit always brightened any room she walked into. She was a cute baby I carried around and grew up to be a smart gracious lady and her presence made everyone feel good. Loving thoughts go out to Paul and her sons and family at this sad time. Keep smiling for her always!
I was blessed to have known Chris and worked with her in the financial aid office at Cameron University a few years ago in Lawton, Oklahoma. I admired her so much because of her patience, honesty and integrity. She knew her job so well and our staff depended on her for leadership, mentoring and support; she never disappointed us. She was the best and I am thankful to have known her. May God bless her family during this very hard time.
My Deepest Sympathy! Chris was an Outstanding Person & a Loving Wife and Mother! She will be Deeply Missed! She earned her Wings along time ago so I know she is in Our Loving Fathers Arms free of Worldly pain & problems.
Heaven gained a sweet angel. The laughes we shared I will never forget. You treated me like a sister not a sister-in-law I will miss our little 5 minute chats we had over the years when we were both on commute to work. We could say a lot in that short of time!!! I will miss you greatly but I know you are at peace now. Love you forever Chris.
To Crandon & Herrenbruck family,
Our thoughts are with you at this time. We are so sorry to hear the news of her passing. She put up a good fight. God bless her.

Crandon and Herrenbruck Family-
Chris was such a spiritually connected person with a kind heart. My prayers are with the family during this time of great loss.
My deepest condolences to the family. Chris and I worked together in the Office of Financial Aid at Wichita State University and she was always a sense of light and love. She was an amazing woman. She handled everything with grace and care. I loved her laugh and smile. God will see you through this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to the the entire family. Chris and I worked side by side with Chris in the Office of Financial Aid at Wichita State University for over 5 years and she was always a great joy and the the rock in my life. She gave 150% to her work but always put her family first. When the day was over she was done and look forward to spending her time with her husband and boys. I will miss you Chris. I love you my friend. God Speed!
There are no words to express the sorrow felt when someone leaves us, especially at such a young age. We find comfort in knowing that Chris is in the arms of her Savior now but the emptiness of her absence still remains. May God send you peace. Our love and prayers are always with you.
Prayers of comfort to the family. May God continue to bless you.
One can never be prepared to lose a loved one and my prayer is that the love and laughter you all shared will see you through this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss but know that there is so much more and you will all be reunited in Heaven one day. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless
Paul, thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Hoping you find solace in your time of greatest needs…
