April and Family~
You have been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Chris helped me so much in chiropractic care; and I've always appreciated your smile and caring attitude.

Chris was born when I was 16 years old and I was so excited--he was one of the first of my nephews (or nieces) who I thought would call me "Aunt." He was such a precious little boy and young man. I am so sad.... "Aunt" Judy

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. God makes this promise to us when we are in pain. “I—I myself am the One that is comforting your people.” – Isaiah 51: 12
He promises comfort. That is our prayer for you and your family.
