I wish I would have gotten to know Chris. I know he made Yvonne extremely happy in the short time they shared together. My heart goes out to Yvonne and her family for their loss.

While we as a family were blessed by Chris' joining it only a few short years ago, he immediately became a welcome addition. He just naturally fit in and was always an amazing person. He was the perfect match for my sis. My husband and I will miss him terribly and we pray for Yvonne to be comforted by all the wonderful memories he leaves behind. We love you both, Chris and Yvonne.
Your sis, Courtney
