Chris was my supervisor but more importantly my friend. He was always there to listen and give support. He truly had a heart of gold. I'll never forget all our talks.
You will be missed more than you'll ever know my friend.

Chris, your Faith was your individuality and you were never self-consciousness in regards to proclaiming this to others. Your infectious laugh and humor will be remembered until we all see and hear you again in Heaven. Just as earth will never be the same without you, Heaven will never be the same now that you are there. What God had you doing here on earth, He needed you to do even more with Him in His Eternal Kingdom. As a person said: Many people live in Faith, but you our friend lived your Faith. I am certain that you and your sister "The Sister" are creating new beginnings for us when we get there. To your family, may Chris' earthly presence be transitioned into a presence you will come to know from God in the air you breathe and the newness of life you witness each spring. God's Peace that surpasses all understanding be within your hearts and minds in the days ahead.
