I only knew Chris through my brother Bob Girard, in Jr High and High School. But whenever Chris came to our house, he always had a big smile and was lots of fun to talk to. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss,

Dear Dion Family,
While I didn't know Chris personally I did know of him through his works with the St. Vincent de Paul society and Sacred Heart Parish and I was nearly brought to tears at Fr. Dave's mention of his passing during Mass this past week. My sincerest condolences to you all. Clearly your husband and father was a man of strong faith and a servant of God. The parish and school community will miss him greatly.
God Bless.

I was so shocked when Nancy Diebling called to tell me on Thursday. I had recently spoken with Chris at George's wake. I have such fond memories of him. What a gentleman and man of faith. I hope and pray that your faith and your family will see you through this terrible and sudden loss. I'll offer Mass Monday morning (Jan. 9) for him and all of you.
