Kathi, Miacha & all the family. I was so honored to be Chris's Sister In law and to have the pleasure of knowing him. He was a wonderful human being and will remain in our hearts and memories always.

Thanks to everyone who attended the service. Shortly before Chris passed, Kathi and I happened to be sharing happy memories about him (in his presence), which I'm sure he also enjoyed. He passed peacefully, and I miss him everyday. Chris showed a compassion for others which, frankly, I am still trying to understand. Why was he so nice to me when I was such a brat?? He was a great brother and friend. I love you, bro.
