Not sure what to say?





Al, Patty, Liz, Carol and kids,
I just found out today about Chris from Grandma Kresen. I am so sorry to have heard about Chris, and blessed to have known such a good man. I wish I had gotten to meet his wife and their sons. I am at a loss for words but want all of you to know how highly regarded I considered him.

Dear Patty and Al: he was kind and gentle. He glowed with kindness so that you didn't have to see him do kind things to know he was a kind man. He always made me feel welcome. I am so sorry- Joe K

Dear Al, Patty, Carol, Emmet and Casey, we will always feel privileged to have known this kind, wonderful man. Our favorite verse of consolation from Psalm 46 expresses our sentiments best: "Be still, and know that I am God."

Much love from Herb and Gina Motter

Al, Pat, Liz, and family,

I am still reeling with the sad news of Christophers passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I cannot imagine the grief you all must be feeling. Chris was such a sweet gentle man and boy. My favorite memory is the summer I was able to spend mucking through Bear Meadows catching polliwogs and salimanders, playing hide and go seek in our barn, and whipping up new and fun foods for our adventure snacks.

God bless you all. I send my prayers, thoughts and love. May Christopher rest in peace in the house of our Lord. We will be reunited one day my friend.

Love, Pam (Alison, Travis and Bridgette)Cassera (aka Graton/Moerschbacher)
