Dear Chris

I am hoping you are with Mama up in heaven as I know how heavy your heart was since she left you. The good struggle of life is now over and you will be looking through clouds at the kids, the grands and Kevin and Lisa. They have all truly been working hard all week to celebrate your life which was a BIG ONE!

Rest in peace until we meet again
