Monica-
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Christopher. I have the fondest memories of Christopher, when I was the principal at Smithton, always helping to take care of Cole when Christopher was in 8th grade and Cole was in Kindergarten. Christopher was the best brother ever!! He will be missed dearly. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
