Link Family,

I attended MDA camp with Chris. Even though I am several years older than Chris, I still remember spending some time around him. He was a kind soul that was always fun to be around.

I am sorry for your lose but I take solace in knowing that he is now free of the hideous disease that is muscular dystrophy and is with the Lord and having a grand old time with Him.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless you all.

When Chris was a student in my Senior English class, I admired his attitude while he faced his physical challenges. I remember when he finished his Senior Project the class stood and applauded. Some students even had tears in their eyes.

May God bless him for eternity.
