Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Unfortunately, as we were never blessed with meeting Christopher, Christine Harrigan, a current employee, has shown us what a wonderful friend he must have been, as her grieving eyes show the extreme pain of your loss.

Charlie, Kathy & Alex,
From my very first day as a new teacher, Christopher brightened my life. His infectious smile, sarcastic sense of humor, and loving heart are what I will always remember. Christopher impacted the lives of so many people, and it is obvious that God had a purpose for Chris. So many parts of him will live on through the lives that he has touched, and we are all better for knowing him. You are all in my prayers.
