My heartfelt sympathy to Martha and all of the Larkin family. Chris has been one of my dearest friends since my first summer on Cape Cod, 30 years ago. Although we didn't get to see each other much in recent years, we stayed in touch by phone, and frequently reminisced about the happy times of years gone by. I am so sorry I was unable to attend the services, and I look forward to a time to get together with Chris's family and friends to share our memories and celebrate Chris's life.
