Dear Jerry & Cathy,

My deepest sympathy & prayers go out to you & your family over your great loss.

My first memory of Chris was during the summer of 2001 when he was working at the Help Desk at EGS. I started probably a month earlier & was new so my computer always needed something fixed. So that day, the Help Desk sent over this new guy Chris. I think Chris just finished high school a few weeks earlier. I was impressed with Chris’s demeanor and good manners. He was...

Cathy & Jerry
There are no words that can express emotions at this time. You are constantly in our thoughts & prayers. Jerry, you are a special person & have always been a very special friend. You need unbelievable strength at this time. I know you have it & you can depend on friends & relatives. Everyone is thinking about you & Cathy.

I still remember the exact day that I met Chris- It was at an away football game in late October. I remember thinking he was the cutest boy I had ever seen =) He was one of the most energetic, charasmatic, fun people I've had the pleasure of calling my friend.

I only hope that he's in a better,...

I wish I could have been there to give my sympathies in person. I have so many wonderful memories of Chris from the years that I knew him. From the moment he moved to Libertyville, he was an amazing friend and always made life a little more fun and exciting. He will be dearly missed.

Mr. and Mrs. McQuade,
Chris was a great friend, and a wonderful person to many. No one else can feel your sorrow, but sometimes knowing others care and share your loss may be a source of strength and courage. May it help you to know there are so many people who are thinking of your family in this time of difficulty. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and all that knew Chris.

Jerry, Cathy and Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
