Funny how this popped up today. Chris was like a big brother. And I always appreciated his wise council later in life.

I could certainly use it now with what is going on in the world.

Praying for the family in this difficult time. "Hawk" was like a big brother to me and I will miss his friendship and wisdom he imparted to me. He was a great example as husband, father and friend. I am honored to have known him. I know by how he lived his life he is with the Lord. Take comfort in the days ahead Sharry, Chloe and Clint knowing this is so.
Looking forward to seeing you again Friend.

To my precious friend Kathy, our hearts are heavy for your precious family. We do know however that God is making all things new. We praise our Father for saving, restoring & perfecting Chris. Philippians 3:20-21, "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." We suffer for & with you all, and with you all we also celebrate Heaven's gain. We are sending peace, power & love to Sharry, Chloe & Clint. We love you all.
