To Kristopher's Family,
Our deepest heartfelt sympathies to you all. My son Austin attended Saint Augustine's with Kristopher both as a freshman and during the summer bridge program and I can't tell you how truly saddened I am for your loss. Seems like he and Austin knew each other quite well and Austin called him Lil Kris. I pray that you are able to find comfort in knowing that he impacted the lives of even those he only just met. May God continue to Bless you all, strengthen you, comfort you and grant you the peace that I'm sure you need during this difficult time.
Many Blessings,
dionne castleberry and family
