Robert and DeAnn,
Me and Chris had the kinda friendship that no matter how long it had been since we had seen eachother last, it was like we had just hung out yesterday and you guys accepted me as one of your own and vice-versa for Nanny. I am truly sorry for your loss, and that i couldn't be there with you guys today and tomorrow especially. Chris will forever be missed by me and my family, and I pray that the Lord will comfort you both.

I have grown up with Chris since we were little, going through elementary school through high school, through little league baseball for many many years!! Then Allie growing up with Daniel her whole life. You had two wonderful loving and careing young men. You were so blessed. They will be missed by many!! They will always hold a place in our hearts!!

You know, Chris and I had kind of lost touch over these past few years, but that didn't mean much. He was still a great friend, and was like a brother to me. It's very unfortunate that I am in a Different state and could not make the serviced. DeAnne and Robert, I am sorry for your loss, as it is a big loss to me as well.

To the parents of Chris Norris: I attended school with Chris for many years. He was always very nice to me even while others werent. I will always remember him for that. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and always happy. Even though after graduation we went our own ways and lost contact I will never forget our chats during P.E., at lunch or during field trips. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now, stay strong and may his memories live on in your heart. RIP...

I will always be grateful for the comfort and friendship your Chris gave my son since his father passed. You raised two beautiful and kind sons that we will always miss and never forget.
With deepest heartfelt sympathy for your loss,
