Not sure what to say?

To the McGlashan family,

My family and I were so sad to hear about Chris. It breaks my heart to think of your loss he was such a wonderful person. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you all.


I can't thank everyone enough for their thoughts, prayers and condolenses. I am so touched by the love everyone had for my brother.
Chris was not only my brother, but my best friend! We would stay up late talking about all different subjects. We always dreamed of starting a business together. We would exchange so many good times that we had with our friends in college and as adults. We used to go out and we would laugh abouty how we were single and we'd have to put the "Sibling"...

Chris was a very good friend of mine. When I spoke to friends and family the words I noticed that kept reoccurring were pride, caring, sportsman, and giving.
Chris was all of those things and more. I can't tell you what a big heart the man had. He was genuine, a heart of gold that you don't find in too many people. For example, he was working on a project last year that a family who had financial difficulty wanted him to work on a last minute project and needed to get done...

Scott and I thank all of you for your condolences and kind and fun memories of Chris. The Furstenberg family created this guest book and I can't express to them the enjoyment we have received from reconnecting with Chris' friends, Ann's and our friends. All of you have a Merry Christmas. Chris will be with all of us in spirit for many, many years. Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers.

To the McGlashan Family,

I am very saddened to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of growing up on Siesta Drive with Chris. I remember having so much fun whether we were playing sports, camping out in your yard or playing kick the can with the entire neighborhood. Chris and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Chris,

You and your family were our very first and closest friends on Siesta Drive. We will always remember you as the little boy with the straight blonde hair, the freckles and the easy smile. You were quiet but not shy. You were thoughtful and sensitive yet determined and fiesty. You were an integral part of every football game, every street hockey game, army battle, construction crew (all those tree forts), birthday party and baseball game. We never see a tent set up in...

Dear Lynn, Scott & Ann
We heard of Chris' passing yesterday and our entire family is extremely sad. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We remember Chris as a sweet, wonderful boy and a handsome, caring young man.
What wonderful memories of all those sweet, smiling faces riding their big wheels down Siesta Drive!!

Our Love to all of You-
Sallie & Guy Dent

Dear Lynn, Scott & Ann,
So many memories of family, not the least of which is helping deliver a litter of Westies with great success. Chris & I spoke at length about two years ago, he offered to help me with a home improvement project. I declined, not wanting to burden him with the journey or the task at hand. I so wanted to visit with him at that time and will forever wish that I had. My prayers are with you and your son's loving, generous spirit.

Dear Scott, Lynn and Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Chris. David and I remember, as if it were yesterday, the Boy Scouts and our camping trip to Canada. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
