Dear Pamela, David, James, and Patrick,



I realize that no words can comfort you after your tragic loss. But please remember that Chris was not only a wonderful person, he was also a great friend. I had the pleasure of attending MW with him, as well as spending time with him again recently, as he and my brother, Chris, were close friends. He is very much missed in our family as well. We continue to pray for you and ask that you let us know if there's anything we can do now and in the future.
