I pray that you are at peace with the Lord, and Uncle Ed.
My family recently had another service at Barron Miller, my Sister, which Chris had met and so graciously helped her set up future plans. Little did we know we would lose her suddenly Christmas. When we
entered the room, I knew that Chris and Ed were with us. Such a kind soul. My hope is that the Lord has welcomed my Sister, and that Chris has added her to his group of friends and family to wrap her up in the Lord's arms. Chris made you feel like family. God bless

Mrs Miller: My deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. Chris and I graduated from Simmons together! He was a NICE boy is school, always respectful and kind! A few years ago I had a death in the Buffalo area and called upon Chris to help me out, the consummate professional - always. We had sometime to set and visit, 40 years go by in a flash! I have been thinking of Chris these last few weeks since I learnt of his death I´ve operated in a feeling of disbelief. We are the same age... I´m very sorry for your loss. RIP MY FRIEND.

Joan, I couldn´t believe it when I saw it in the paper. I remember Chris as that shy little kid, when Ed and I were hanging out at the house on Godfrey. My prayers are with you. Chris just helped my brother with the arrangement for his wife last April.

My deepest sympathy to the family in their loss of Christopher. When I heard about Christopher's passing, it seemed surreal. I had met with him last January, as he had planned the arrangements for my father. His Uncle Ed had planned the arrangements for my mom, a few years earlier. When my sisters and I met with Christopher, he was such an amazing person; kind, caring, thoughtful, and so understanding of what we were going through. He treated us like his own family. Extending his time to us whenever it was needed. The Lord gained an outstanding angel. I pray the family feels comforted by the many friends he had, and the many people who regarded Christopher so highly. May God bless the family; and may the love and caring of friends and family, hold you up with prayer.

Slick, I remember the day you came to Mrs Beach´s house with your entire family. You met blummer and I. That night you asked if he and I were normal and uncle Ed asked if I would watch over you. We spent the next year laughing and eating as you called her mama Rose´s sauce as often as she sent it to us. Uncle Ed asked if it was like a frat house
We have been brothers since then. Talking at least once a week if not more
Rest In Peace my brother until we meet again

Dear Susie and family,
With a very saddened heart I send this message.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Chris was a wonderful one of a kind person.
One who truly had compassion in all he did.
I knew no matter the time that fell in between seeing one another he would be there as if no time had past.
There were Unfortunately too many times we had to call upon him, but knowing we could gave us comfort in itself.
I wish now I could return the same peace that he was able to give us.
He will forever be in our hearts.
Praying God comforts you an gives you peace.
Love Denny (friend an family)
