Dear Lori, Geoff, Scott, Ashley and James,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of "Grandpa". He had to have the record of all the grandparents in the world for attending events for his Grandchildren. He will be missed, and our thoughts are with you during this sad time. Take care, Love Lori and Kirk Christensen
