I only knew him in passing but my deepest sympathies for your loss. So many young people struggling with addiction do so well and then are lost in an instant. It's unfair and tragic.

My thoughts are with all of you today. Loosing a child from drug addition (or anything else) is the hardest thing a family has to endure. I know, I've been there. No words can express the sorrow that I am feeling for you right now. Rest in Peace Christopher and watch over all who love you~

Dear Sue,
I am deeply heartbroken for the loss of your beloved son Chris. Over the many years we have come to know each other - though I never met your son personally - I am grateful to have known Chris through your loving eyes and compassionate and unconditional loving heart . He was an amazing young adult who touched so many lives in his short time here. I know there are no perfect words that can take away your heartache, so I will pray that Christopher is truly at peace and that as you are surrounded by your loving family and friends you find the strength and courage needed to live one day at a time.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Alys C.
