Tracy,Christopher and Griffin,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. He was such a loveable and thoughtful person and we enjoyed living next door to you guys some time ago. Ashley and I had been enjoying keeping up with him over Facebook over the past few years. He always had a good recap of a Panthers Game for which I will miss reading! Also, I enjoyed watching the Boys grow up from all of his pictures! May God's love embrace you in this awful time. With much love,
