Ramona,
I had hoped to see you at the visitation for your nephew....but I did talk to Becky and she said the weather kept you away. I wanted to tell you that as I have read the messages to Christopher's family, it sounds like he was like his dad. I remember Wendell having a gentle spirit and it sounds like his son had the same. I ask God to bless each one of you with His peace during this time. Becky(Farris)Odum and family

I am so sorry for your loss. Chris's dad Wendell, was at our home as a teenager hanging out with my brother's Eddie, Tommy and Timmy Moore. My parents thought of him like another son. My Mother would babysit Chris and Michael for Wendell and Sheila on a weekend night so they could go out together. I wish you all comfort and peace during this time.
