Kay and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Chris' passing. He was a wonderful man. I'll always remember the fun times at your home in Lancaster and at the "cabin" and the love and kindness he so freely showed to his family and friends.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I was fortunate enough however to have met and spent time with Chris during his hospitalization and have never had a patient so motivated and with such a positive attitude after such a life changing event. He was an inspiration to me as a therapist and to the other patients on the unit. It is a testament as to what kind of man he was. It was an honor to know him and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
