Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on the tragic loss of your loved one. The sting of death brings grief that is difficult to bear. I hope the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

So Sorry to hear about Chris. He was a good friend of my son Tony Jenkins. I remember back when they were in school we would take a bunch of kids with us to bicentennial park to play baseball and Chris came with Scott Lambo, Brian Rowe, Kevin Cupid and David Jones and some others and we had a blast. Chris was a great kid. My prayers are with you and the family!

Wow!!! Chris will always be in our Hearts forever and ever. We have a lab dog that Chris took care of for us during our flood, he took Bud to the Hotel with him and took great care of him. Chris was the kind of guy who could always melt you with his crazy smile and even crazier laugh, he will never be forgotten. It is just so hard to imagine that I will never see him run in at the last minute laughing and smiling. FLY HIGH CHRIS WILSON!!!. I want to add prayers for Taylor, Jayden and all the Wilson family, they are all very special to us and we hold them close to our hearts and we will always be there for them.
