I loved reading how you and your husband met. I´m so sorry for your loss. My condolences.

From another cello player. Remember you from the orchestra. Thanks for the memories. May your soul rest in peace.

We will miss him in the cello world! My deepest condolences.

Martha, We are so sorry for your terrible loss. Our hearts are heavy for you, Caroline and Christopher. Chris's amazing musical talents brought incredible joy to this world, but he was also a wonderful family man. Much love and many prayers for your entire family.
