I fondly remember the way Uncle Chris' smile lit up the room. I remember how much his mother loved him and I am sure that it is a joyful reunion for them; though he will be greatly missed by many here. I remember meeting you years ago, Kathy; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as well as with the McHenry family who wishes they had more time to rekindle the friendship of brothers. May peace and comfort fill your hearts and your homes. Much Love,

Kathy,



My heart goes out to you. I know what you are feeling. It's hard enough to go through this once, but you have had to endure it twice now. You are a remarkable woman. Just know that you are loved

even though we have not seen much of each other in the past few years. I love you.
