The service was lovely. I think we all got some much needed closure. I'm glad that I was invited, and I'm even more proud to have been a friend of Chris's. He was such an avid spirit, always looking for the next adventure. He touched my heart. And he will be greatly missed.

Paul and Barbara - I didn't know Christopher but I was Melissa's fourth grade teacher and wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. You both helped me so much during my first year as a teacher and will never forget that. My prayers are with you and your family.
