To Marilyn Day-Burke and family my deepest condolences in the passing of your son Kris. Marilyn I know first hand how much your kids mean to you I was so saddened to hear of your son's passing, praying for you and your family. I really wanted to attend the services however I kept looking for the obituary under "Chris" with a "C" and not a "K". To be absent from the body means to be present with the Lord may you find comfort in that in the days, months and years to come......God Bless you Marilyn and you and your family are in my prayers.

My name is Jocelyne, I am a nurse at the University Hospital on H Yellow, I have been truly blessed to take care of Kris. I love him so much, he is like my son and I continously tell him that. He does not mind that at all. He is always so kind, so respectful, so polite and nice and every nurse would like to have him as their admission.
Everyone who comes across him have something good to learn from him.
We will miss him on H Yellow, although the last few days were very hard on us but because of Kris's contagious smile, attitude, and gratitude. We gained strength to care for him and for others as well. He has left us with an emptiness in our hearts, but we will continue to cherish the wonderful memories everyday. We know he is present with the Father who has called him home too soon.
My condolences to the Burke Family and thank you for the privilege that I have to care for him.

Chris was the most respectful and courageous man I've ever known, he always was pleasant to see me whenever I would come take care of him. My respects to the family. Chris will be missed at University Hospital.

My name is Rose and I am one of the nurses at University Hospital who was fortunate enough to have Chris as a patient. Once you meet him, you feel comfortable with him right away. He has a beautiful and contagious smile. My last conversation with Chris was how excited my children and I use to be when we go to Six Flags. Chris went on to tell me his first job was at Six Flags and how scary some of the rides were; we were both laughing like old friends. This young man was very spiritual and strong. He did not lose the fight but rather God has other plans for him in heaven. Chris my friend, I will miss your easy demeanor and your smile. God bless you and may God bless your family with strength.
