Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Betty, and family. We are so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. You both were such great neighbors at Southbrook. Chris will always be fondly remembered for his wit and his kindness to others. May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and always.

I have known Chris since kindergarten, and we shared the same birthday. Our Mom's would bring cakes and treats for the whole class. My husband, Dick, also knew Chris from Junior High and High School.
Chris will always be remembered by us as a kind, cheerful guy that we respected highly. We were saddened to hear of his passing. Please accept our deepest sorrow at the great loss your family is going through.
May God Bless you with peace that surpasses all understanding.

Growing up, I always looked forward to seeing Uncle Chris. A child looks up to their Aunts and Uncles and it's always special when they get to spend time with them. Raising wonderful children who have become outstanding adults with their own families is a testament to Uncle Chris and Aunt Betty. Fortunately, Uncle Chris' values and legacy will continue on through his children and grandchildren. We love you and miss you.
