Not sure what to say?

what to say...I love Chris very much. Over the years he has been a great friend and good listener. When we were at grandmas funeral he came up to say good bye to her with me, so I wouldnt be alone. He put his arm around me and told me everything is going to be okay and gave me a kiss on the head. I will miss him more than I can even understand. Even though our days of mischief and fun has come to an end , I am just glad that I could have those times with him. I am very sorry Aunt Linda and...

Dear Grant Family:
I wanted to write when I saw Christopher's name in the paper this week. I also lost my 20 year old son suddenly in 1998. I hope in time he appears in an occasional dream (or visit I call it). and in the many memories you hold in celebration of him. Sorry for your loss.

Dear Ken, Linda and girls:
May your faith in God help you endure during this terrible loss. From our family to yours, much heartfelt sympathy.

Dear Linda, Ken, Kristy and Kerri
Oh how your boy was loved by so many! We will miss him so very much. What a smile and a personality to go with it. I imagine whatever team he is playing for now is very excited to get such a talented fellow. But the best thing for his new team is that they got the most special player ever. He will support all his new team mates through good times and not so good just as he did his friends and famly here. We love you all

To the Grant Family,
I had the privilege of teaching both Kenny and Christy many years ago at Barrington Elementary. Reading about Chris was so tragic, and yet it also brought back wonderful memories of the Grant children who gave me such joy ! My thoughts are with you.

Dear Grants,
Im so sorry for the lose of chris, I had the pleasure of sitting next to him for two years in our animal science class. He always made me laugh. His bright and outgoing personality will be deeply missed. I will always cherish the memories of him, and how he could always make me smile. He will be deeply missed. The deepest of sympathy for you and your family. God bless you
With much love, Stephanie

Chris and I were in the same class in grade school for as long as I can remember, first grade on...when ever we were assinged seats him and I were always next to each other, when it was time to line up for recess we were put together in line. Growing up Chris was always a part of day. We even rode the bus together and I saw him almost everyday at the ball fields! We often teased each other but always seemed to be friends. A positive memory of our unique friendship was when we were 18 years...

My deepest regards to the Grant family. I graduated with Chris from DHS class of 2002 and had the opportunity to experience his humor in class. He will always be remembered for bringing laughter to everyone around him. God Bless!

I first met Chris about six years ago while I was umpiring Babe Ruth games in Barrington. He reminded me so much of my oldest son, also named Chris. He was always smiling, never afraid to laugh. Chris Grant was one of the few young men who would "pick up" his teammates when they made mistakes rather than put them down. He was truly special. I told his coach, Ernie, on several occasions that Chris was one of the nicest young men I had ever met. I feel deeply for his family and friends but the...
