Dear Annette, Rich, and Chris wife,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Being his teacher and friend I find this very heartbreaking that someone so special was taken from us. Chris was and will always be one of my favorite students. My sympathy goes to the family and hope his memories will one day make you smile. Love, Linda Meyer (Leibfried)

I came across Christopher's obit & my heart aches for his wife, the family & for him not ever being able to see his daughter & the life he gave her. I truly wish that his family finds peace & comfort. I am so sorry this happened to his family! I pray for peace & only the best to them in life. Sometimes life is so unfair.
