Kathy and Family,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy for the loss of your dear Christopher. Kathy, we worked together for years and often shared stories about our kids. In all that time, I only met Chris once. He impressed me with his concern for you as you were about to leave New Hampshire and move to New York. It was obvious that you two had a special relationship.

It is just not fathomable that a Mom would lose her two Sons, both so young. May you find peace in the joy that Chris brought to you and may you and your family find solace when the beautiful memories cross your mind.
God Bless you all. God Bless Chris. May he rest in peace.

Prayers for you,
Marie Asselin
