Mary Lou and Noel:
I just heard about Chris through my son Mike. My ex-husband, Kent Pritchard told Mike to let me know. Kent used to work for Noel in Elizabeth City. I am overwhelmed with grief for your loss, and for how you must have suffered. My prayers are with your family, Mary Lou. You were always kind to us, and I always loved Chris.
