Thank so much Peggy and Melissa for the sweet emails. I miss Chris so much and wish I could hear his voice again. I know my pain is nowhere near yours and continue to pray for you (and Russell). Please send me your email or home address so I can write to you. God Bless you :)

My beloved friends, Peggy and Russ,

Thank you for the address and phone number, and e-mail address. I will use them often. My heart goes out to all of you in the loss of Chris. I share your pain. Our son, Robert committed suicide in 2005. It has left a hole in our hearts and lives. You are never ready to lose a child. I wish I had gotten to know Chris better than when he was small. They grow up too fast. All our lives changed abruptly. We all drifted...

My dear friends, Peggy and Russ,

To learn of Chris' passing has made me very sad today. My heart goes out to you folks as I ask the Lord to wrap you in His comfort and His promise of everlasting life.

As I read the obituary for Chris, he reminds me greatly of my Methodist minister brother who died in December. Believing in Christ's message of a glorious Heaven afterlife, I have faith that my brother Bill greeted Chris and gave him a big bear hug to welcome him to the...

It was a wonderful tribute to my friend "Archie". He is greatly missed. I was glad to be a part of his basketball days and all the fun trips we had.
Love,

Peggy & Russ,
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost touch of Archie over the years, but still think of our high school years together. I have a part of giving him his nickname, and can not believe he hung on to it over the years. I really enjoyed playing basketball with him in high school. I will always remember his laugh and incredible smile. He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Chris will always be remembered!! Beth Haven Class of 1989.

I did not know Chris personally - I graduated from Beth Haven in 1983 - but I am very sorry to hear of the loss of someone so loved and special to so many people. I will pray that family and friends will find the grace and strength needed to get through the difficult times ahead.

I met Archie when we were both 13 years old when they moved in around the corner from my house- then we went to school together until we graduated in 1990 from Beth Haven. We spent alot of time together after graduation up until i went into the Marines in 1994-I came home for leave in 1996 and found out he was in Texas-havent talked to him since then. He was great friend to me and so were Peggy and Russ-they even let me live with them for a time until i got back up on my feet-I will never...

I went to school with Chris (at Beth Haven), he was a couple of years younger than me. I remember him as a very sweet and kind young man. He made me laugh and I liked him very much. I am deeply saddened and would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family.
