Eternal Memory & Blessed Repose!!! My prayers are with you, Emily, Brian & Annette and Pete & Cait, his grandchildren Maya, Sydney, Jackson, Gracie, and Erin; his mother Alice and his sisters Sandra (Ken) and Alison (Ron).

Dearest Emily and Beloved Family,
I just saw your interview on Ewtn. I am heart broken to have googled your name and stumbled on his passing. What a fine example of true love and commitment to eachother, and to your faith! I will keep your hearts in my prayers, especially during this holiday season. You were very fortunate to share such an amazing love here on earth. Until you meet him again, God Bless you and your family!

Hi, Sandy -- I got your message, and I was so glad to hear from you. The message I tried to send through the email I got was returned, so maybe if you email me again and leave me your email address, or message me through facebook, we can catch up.

Chris' legacy will live on forever! His authentic love for Jesus Christ has allowed many seeds to be planted for God's Kingdom. These seeds will bloom in God's time. Our hearts go out to Emily and the entire family, although we know and trust in God's ways - there is a void in those who knew Chris. We pray that this void be filled with a greater love and peace knowing that truly Heaven is real and on our day the will be a great reunion!

This is such sad news; a life taken much too soon. I have many fond memories of times with Chris when we were kids. I wish him peace.

Tragic is all I can say ... a wonderful good loving family man taken all too soon. Please know that the entire family is in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Burak, Sandy, Alison and family . . . I was so sorry to hear about Chris. I have fond memories of growing up next
door to all of you -- maybe he and Roger are up there playing a little baseball . . . my prayers are with all of you!

I just now learned of the passing of Chris. May his spirit live on through the memories he created with all his friends over the years. I am so sorry for your loss.
